Thank you for your interest in The Local Grass Radio Show! We are certainly blessed
with great music, all across the country, and our aim is to get this great "Local Grass" out
of your neighborhood and onto the airwaves. We recognize the hard work that goes into
having a local band, every single principle that is working behind a mainstream band, is
there. The only difference is mainstream bands get airplay and recognition, local bands,
unfortunately, in most cases, do not. Local Grass Radio is here to change all that! We're
here to let the world hear your music, and know that you're out there, and it's our honor to
be able to do so via the world wide web.
The LocalGrass Story
Both hosts hail from areas where bluegrass music is taken very seriously by those who
play it as well as by those that are content to listen. Linda Wright, (a native of Bristol, TN)
& Kenneth Berrier (a native of Mount Airy, NC) are no strangers to Bluegrass music.
Kenneth, a founding member of the popular 80's bluegrass band Summer Wages, and
Linda, an already radio show host from World Wide Bluegrass struck up a friendship
stemming from the music, little knowing what the future would hold for both in music
promotion.
Linda met and began working with Jim Edwards, creator of a local radio production
based in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia in 2009. The music series,
Mountain Music Showcase features live performances of local bluegrass bands in the
Tennessee and Virginia areas, taped and later re-aired, at first to a radio audience. As
the show progressed, Edwards decided to bring the show to the television viewing
audiences in the area, and began the search for a video editor. Kenneth had an interest
in editing, and already had the appreciation of the music, and he joined the team at the
end of 2009 as post production editor. Once on board, a mutual desire to bring this type
of exposure to the many local bands outside the TN and VA area was always a thought.
After some planning and a test run, the concept for Local Grass Radio took shape and
became a series of it's own.
Linda & Kenneth thought it would be a great idea to give the bands who are 'local' to their
respective parts of the country the opportunity to have their music played to a much wider
audience. Most local bands have great opportunities to take their music to local venues,
and have great audiences, but often don't get their music to that wider platform of radio
airplay. That's where the mission of Local Grass Radio becomes reality.
We hope you'll continue visiting our site, tuning in on the radio and internet or continue
listening via podcast.
Remember, LocalGrass Radio puts the spotlight on the bluegrass that grows at home!
