Radio
In the Blue Ridge Mountains, the airwaves are alive with mountain music, as they have been for nearly a century. The long tradition of regional radio is one of the most important reasons for the continued popularity of traditional music here. Many musicians who grew up in the Blue Ridge learned their very first old-time songs as youngsters by listening to stations like Mount Airy’s WPAQ, or catching broadcasts of the Grand Ole Opry beamed from Nashville. Musicians and music lovers coming up today have the same wealth of regional radio available to them—and in more formats, with the rise of streaming online broadcasts and downloadable podcasts of traditional music shows.
Road Trippin’
Summer is the time to hit the road to great music along the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina. Recently fourteen partners joined in a two-week promotion of the music at their venues on Road Trippin’, a production of WLOS TV in Asheville.
