Show 22 Hour 1

Tucked away in the rich musical soil of New Jersey, Burlington County Bluegrass is a weekly gathering for strings and stories. Host Mark Bluegrass Plante curates each episode like a thoughtful setlist, weaving together the driving rhythms and heartfelt harmonies of traditional bluegrass with the melodic, storytelling spirit of Celtic music. You’ll hear a carefully selected mix of tracks from established legends and emerging artists, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. The atmosphere here is less like a formal concert and more like a friendly back-porch jam session, where the music does most of the talking. This podcast serves as a personal invitation to discover the deep connections between these two vibrant folk traditions, all from a distinctly local perspective. It’s for anyone who finds comfort in the pluck of a banjo, the mournful cry of a fiddle, or the unexpected joy when two musical lineages meet. Tune in for a regular dose of authentic acoustic energy that’s perfect for a long drive, a quiet evening, or whenever you need a soundtrack that feels genuinely handcrafted.
