String Fever

Welcome to String Fever! I’m so glad you’re tuned in!

If you are a long-time listener, you know that you can expect to hear what’s happening in our regional bluegrass scene. If you are a first-time visitor, let me tell you a little more about String Fever:

It’s all about the music - and the players.

Two hosts, no waiting. Former String Fever host Dan Gotham joins Barb Heller for the August 25, 2005 edition of the program.

I welcome live soloists, bands, and co-hosts in the String Fever studio – especially if you have an upcoming gig in our listening area! You can reach me anytime via email (barb@ncpr.org), or by calling the station toll-free at 877-388-6277. If you have a gig in the region please email me the details for inclusion on String Fever – and include a copy to calendar@ncpr.org too!

In my opinion, there’s nothing like live music, but I strive to make String Fever your weekly nearly-as-good-as-a-live-gig Bluegrass Café… and I hope that you’ll hear something on the air that inspires you to seek out the live, in-person version of it; whether it’s a bluegrass festival, concert or workshop.

So… until we meet in person at a gig, festival, concert or fundraiser….

Happy listening!

See you on the radio,
Barb
