Acousticity

Time: Sunday 8 PM to Midnight
Host: Bruce Bergethon

Acousticity brings you bluegrass, singer/songwriter, Celtic and other roots musics. It's the whole spectrum of acoustic music from Doc Watson to the Duhks, from the Stanley Brothers to the Avett Brothers. It's "flexible folk" and it's only on GLT.
