Changing of the guard at Bluegrass Ulimited

Event Details

Sharon McGraw, who has served as editor at Bluegrass Unlimited for many years has stepped down to pursue other adventures. She has worked at BU in various capacities for the past 28 years, and will be succeeded by Linda Shaw, who began at the magazine at the same time as McGraw.

Sharon is the daughter of BU founder Pete Kuykendall, who still keeps a hand in the business nearly 45 years after the magazine launched in 1966. The February issue was the last with McGraw at the helm, and Linda tells us that things will be chugging along just as before with her at the editor’s desk.

“We are not planning any changes to the magazine at this time. The subscribers will receive the same quality magazine they have received in the past.”

A tip of the hat from Bluegrass Today to Sharon McGraw, a real bluegrass trooper!
