WIGN 1550 is the new home of
Mountain Music Showcase-on the Road!
airs every Saturday from 9a.m. to 11a.m.

LISTEN LIVE
Bristol Virginia-based WIGN Radio becomes the new home of
Mountain Music Showcase-On the Road!
        Once held at the historic Bristol
Trainstation, Mountain Music Showcase
has now taken to the road, and the
Radio! Starting Saturday, October 3rd,
the series that features the music and
performances of the great local talent in
the area will have it's first broadcast on
WIGN 1550 AM from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
The first show will feature the audio from
the August Bellamy Hardware show in
Surgoinsville, TN, with guests
Appalachian Trail.  

Hosts of the show will be the anchor,
Jim Edwards and Liz Marshall who
originally started the Mountain Music
Showcase series at the Trainstation,
and have added your Local Grass
hostess, Linda Wright to the team
recenlty. Edwards hopes a new
broadcast on radio of Mountain Music
Showcase will help to return the WSM
Radio (Opry broadcaster) feel back to
this end of the state.
     Mountain Music Showcase has been filming shows on the road for the past several months and have been aired locally on
Charter and other cable channels, and was hosted by ARC-TV in Norton Virginia.  Taking a break from television broadcasting,
Edwards decided to take the series 'on the road' to allow a larger number of bands to be seen and heard, and explore a greater
opportunity for the radio avenue. The MMS team recently recorded live shows at Bristol's Rhythm and Roots, the Papa Joe
Smiddy Festival at Natural Tunnel State Park, and have visited a great many local venues throughout the TriCities and Mountain
Empire. MMS plans some Western North Carolina visits in the future, and continues to plan more live taping throughout
Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee.  Much planning is in the works currently to use the Mountain Music Showcase
series to help charitable causes, such as Second Harvest Food Bank and other organizations in the future as well.

If you have a band and would interested in being a featured artist on the Saturday Mountain Music Showcase broadcasts on
WIGN, Edwards encourages you to contact MMS at the Series' email address, which is info@mountainmusicshowcase.com.  
The series will soon be launching a new website, www.mountainmusicshowcase.com. The group is also on FaceBook.com,
and can be followed by typing in the Mountain Music Showcase name.
