Hey all you Bluegrass fans and lovers of fine music. Tune in to The Bayou on Thursday, May 14, at 8:00PM when WUSB’s own Buddy Merriam sits in with Chris LaPorta to celebrate and reminisce about his long time career playing Bluegrass music with his band Backroads as they tune up for the last time this year. Buddy and Chris will be spinning some of Buddy’s favorite originals and more. You can also hear the best of Bluegrass music on Buddy’s show “Bluegrass Time” Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00 PM as Buddy marks his 35th anniversary on the airwaves of WUSB 90.1 FM. So tune in Thursday for a “Shake and a Howdy” with Buddy on The Bayou!
