WBCM Radio Bristol breathes new life into the classic program with a fun\, energetic show broadcasting live from the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. Hosted by producer Kris Truelsen and his house band Bill & the Belles\, Farm and Fun Time is an event the whole family can enjoy live in the studio or from home. \nABOUT THE STEEL WHEELS \nThe Steel Wheels have long been at home in the creative space between tradition and innovation\, informed by the familiar sounds of the Virginia mountains where the band was formed\, but always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound. Having gained the experience of thousands of shows\, festivals and many miles on the road\, the stubbornly independent band has formed deep bonds with each other and the audience that sustains them. The band has their own Red Wing Roots Music Festival\, a weekend-long celebration of music\, community\, and the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Hosted by the Steel Wheels every July\, the festival provides a space for the band to shine\, from their high-energy Saturday night main stage set to their afternoon showcase with young Red Wing Academy students. At Sunday’s gospel hour you are as likely to hear Steel Wheels originals and Warren Zevon covers as you are traditional gospel fare. The weekend is rounded out by the beloved tribute set in which the band collaborates with a cadre of fellow artists to honor an influential figure in American music\, with past tributes ranging from Dolly Parton to John Prine. \nABOUT WILLI CARLISLE \nWilli Carlisle is\, according to The Washington Post\, “powerful…both down-home and brainy.” With years of collecting folklore\, playing or calling square dances\, and working in the avant-garde\, Willi Carlisle is a multi-faceted writer\, performer\, and instrumentalist. \nWith a style forged in the fire of Ozark old-time music and his ever-growing collection of antique music\, Carlisle’s musical stories hoot\, stomp\, and saunter through joys and troubles uniquely southern and timelessly true. Equally comfortable on banjo\, accordion\, fiddle\, and guitar\, Carlisle has earned accolades for his versatility with performances in the UK\, Canada\, and across the USA\, appearing with acts like Dom Flemons\, Los Texmaniacs\, Cory Branan\, and more. \nWhile his big frame and expressive voice draw comparison to old balladeers and bluesmen\, Willi sings new songs for the oldest reasons: love\, heartache\, and joy. People who watch and listen will find that he laughs and sheds a tear onstage almost as often as his audiences do\, fire- and-brimstone proof of larger-than-life songs and stories. \n​ URL:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/event/farm-and-fun-time-ft-the-steel-wheels-willi-carlisle/ CATEGORIES:Farm & Fun Time,Radio Bristol ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021_BCM_FFT_Oct-Web.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
