Opry highlights wide spectrum of acoustic music

This Saturday’s Grand Ole Opry broadcast from Nashville will feature performances by a half dozen artists whose music may be of interest to our readers. The mix includes traditional bluegrass (Ricky Skaggs, The Whites), more contemporary grass (Alecia Nugent, Mountain Heart), and jamgrass favorites (John Cowan Band, Old Crow Medicine Show).

If you want to listen over the air (650 AM out of Nashville) or via online streaming, to hear the entire Opry broadcast, here are the times to tune in for specific artists:

John Cowan Band: 7:30-8:00 p.m. and 12:30-1:00 a.m. segments
