Sunday mornings from 6 to 10a.m. (PT).

From the misty Banks of the Ohio to the Blue Moon of Kentucky...where Bluegrass was born, Bluegrass, Etc. continues the grand tradition. Longtime host Frank Hoppe features traditional bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, old–time, and early country music to move your heart and your feet. Legendary artists, from early stars of country music like Hoyt Ming & His Pepsteppers and the Carter Family to contemporary performers like Ralph Stanley, Alison Krauss, and Ricky Skaggs are broadcast directly to you, commercial–free.

You can expect to hear something new to your ears plus unexplored facets of this great American music each and every week. Whether it’s a ninety–year–old classic or a newfound treasure, Bluegrass Etc. has a few surprises for even the most die–hard music lover.

Frank is an accomplished musician and plays the fiddle, along with a little guitar, cello, and mandolin. He’s also an avid dancer, running his own monthly contradance event for many years, and has in years past organized the fiddling and dancing segments of the California Traditional Music Society’s Summer Solstice Festival, as well as the dance stage at the Topanga Canyon Banjo & Fiddle Contest. He has served on the CTMS board and is an active member of the International Bluegrass Music Association and the Bluegrass Association of Southern California.
