Americana Breakdown
“Music is a treasure hunt. You dig and dig and sometimes you find something.” – Ry Cooder
Listen live to Americana Breakdown, hosted by Art Hanson, on Bluegrass Country Radio every Thursday evening from 7 pm to 10 pm ET for three hours of American roots music.
Listen to the Bluegrass Country live stream.
Tonight’s show features selections from Congressman Davy: A Musical, a new musical by Richard Byrne about Davy Crockett’s political rise and fall. Davy Crockett for President? It almost happened. In the 1830’s, frontiersman Davy Crockett nearly ran for president after being elected three times to the U.S. House from Tennessee, but a bitter campaign filled with political corruption and personal attacks cost him his seat. Some of the most distinctive voices in Americana help tell this tallest of tales, including Robbie Fulks, Kelly Hogan, Jon Langford, Sally Timms, Nora O’Connor, Bethany Thomas, Jo Walston, Gerald Dowd and Kent Rose.
