Internet streaming audio service RadioIO is doubling their channel offerings this month, going from 28 to 60 discrete streams by February 1. Among the new channels is a Newgrass stream to feature acoustic music a bit too edgy for their Bluegrass stream.
RadioIO’s bluegrass stream leans toward traditional bluegrass with occasional excursions into more modern music, while the newgrass stream focuses specifically on bluegrass-inflected sounds from artists like Old Crow Medicine Show, Béla Fleck, David Grisman, Leftover Salmon, King Wilkie, Crooked Still and other similar artists.
Listeners have the choice of free, ad-supported music or for $4.95/month, they can stream the channels without commercial interruptions.
