Program Description

Event Details

For over 40 years, Buddy Merriam and Back Roads have been delighting audiences throughout the Northeast with the driving sound of traditional Bluegrass. A close disciple of the great Bill Monroe, Merriam's music provides a fresh take on Bluegrass while remaining rooted in the music's rich traditions. 

Buddy has released 7 CDs and 2 books of his original mandolin compositions and has hosted the popular “Blue Grass Time” radio program on WUSB 90.1 FM since 1991. The group has performed at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and the International Bluegrass Music Association’s “World of Bluegrass” shows in Owensboro and Louisville, KY and Nashville, TN.
