Bluegrass Country broadcasts 24 hours a day on 88.5 HD-2 in Washington D.C. and on the Internet at BluegrassCountry.org. The station is here to bring you the best in traditional and contemporary bluegrass, Americana and related roots music.
Our hosts are passionate about music. As musicians, ethnomusicologists, historians, producers and festival-goers, they bring depth of knowledge to their shows, helping people all over the world to discover that bluegrass is one of the most interesting, honest and heart-felt musical formats.
