Hosted by Kris Truelsen and featuring musical breaks by house band Bill and the Belles\, the program also features the Appalachian Sustainable Development Farm Report with Corbin Hayslett\, a recipe segment\, and much more! \nRadio Bristol Presents: Farm & Fun Time is a revival of WCYB radio’s Farm & Fun Time show which broadcast live from a studio inside the General Shelby Hotel in downtown Bristol. In the 1940s and the 1950s\, Farm & Fun Time was an important program in the history of early bluegrass music and helped to establish the careers of legendary performers including Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs\, the Stanley Brothers\, the Osborne Brothers\, Jim and Jesse McReynolds\, Mac Wiseman\, The Sauceman Brothers\, and Curly King & The Tennessee Hilltoppers. \nTickets to be part of the studio audience are $20 with open seating; doors open at 6:30 p.m. \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nAbout The South Carolina Broadcasters: \n“This group is hotter than a firecracker lit on both ends\, and is on the cutting edge of the current old time music revival.” \nStars of the Lowe Vintage Radio Show\, John Boy and Billy recording artists\, and masters of primitive bluegrass\, The South Carolina Broadcasters bring southern music at its finest to the stage. Their razor sharp harmonies\, exceptional multi-instrumentation\, and fabulous song selection will have listeners riveted to their seats. This unique trio has put their own spin on the music of the foothills. They’ve been members of The Smokey Valley Boys and Roan Mountain Hilltoppers yet they’re not looking backward. Between Andy Edmonds’ and David Sheppard’s ability to write a new song that sounds old and Ivy Sheppard’s prowess for digging up obscure field recordings\, The Broadcasters most always have new songs in the works. Their recent critically acclaimed release “Tell Me Truly” features a broad and mature mix of sounds ranging from Surry County bluegrass to Carter Family country and even the Cajun sounds of Lafayette. Audiences wherever they go connect with the Broadcasters through heart songs and good old fashioned entertainment. \nAbout Dori Freeman: \nDori Freeman is a twenty-four-year-old singer and songwriter from the southwestern hills of Virginia. Dori comes from a family rooted in art and tradition. Her grandfather is an artist and guitar player\, and her father\, a multi-instrumentalist and music instructor. While her style subscribes to no one genre\, the influence of her Appalachian upbringing lies at the core of her music – heard especially in the lulling mountain drawl of her voice. She sings without affect and with striking clarity\, delivering each song carefully and earnestly. \nDori’s style was shaped by American Roots music: Bluegrass\, Rhythm and Blues\, and Old Country. Her early introduction to musicians like Doc Watson\, The Louvin Brothers\, and Peggy Lee have heavily influenced her modern yet timeless sound. Dori learned how to play the guitar at fifteen and began writing her own material a few years later\, citing Rufus Wainwright and his haunting melodies and achingly honest lyrics as the spark that inspired her to pen her first song. Her songs often center on heartache and pining; unrequited and sometimes unconventional love are common muses for her melodies and lyrics.
