Music from Foggy Hollow (rebroadcast)
Two sidemen feature on Music from Foggy Hollow this week. Mike Kear features two new CDs from artists whose day jobs have them playing for famous bluegrass stars. Mickey Harris (bassist and singer for Rhonda Vincent and the Rage) has a new gospel CD called “Kneel and Pray” and Dwight McCall (mandolin and lead singer for J D Crowe and the New South) struts his own stuff with his second solo project, “Never Say Never Again”. Even though both these artists have day jobs as sidemen, their solo work shows they can stand up and be counted as front men with the best of them. Listen in as Mike features both these CDs this week. Also plenty of other great music, chat and fun in Mike’s unique Aussie style. Catch the show this week it’s a beauty!
