1990: Bluegrass 4-Pack Part 1: Genre and History with Bill Monroe

It’s time to crack into the Bluegrass 4-Pack! Patrick takes a trip back in musical history to the formation of the band that led to the genre of music known as Bluegrass. That trip begins with Bill Monroe and his brother Charlie in the mid-1930s and continues until Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs arrive in 1946. Rockin' the Suburbs on Apple Podcasts/iTunes or other podcast platforms, including audioBoom, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon, iHeart, Stitcher and TuneIn.
