Woodsongs 811: New Riders of the Purple Sage and Charlie Parr - a podcast by The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Vodcast

NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE have been called the Greatest Cosmic, Psychedelic Country Rock and Roll Band Of The Universe. They began as a spin-off from the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart teamed up with John Dawson and David Nelson. In the next 11 years the band toured and released over 12 albums, selling over 4 million records. The band recently teamed up with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter and released two albums to rave reviews, 'Where I Come From' and '17 Pine Avenue'.

CHARLIE PARR is a roots musician like no other today. The Minnesota musician has built a frenzied following of fans around the world with his energetic performances and 12 records. On his 13th album and Red House Records debut, 'Stumpjumper', Charlie showcases his blistering finger-picking as he switches between acoustic guitar, dobro and banjo -- and keening, cut-through-the-crowd vocals that resonate with a conviction that runs deep and true.

WoodSongs Kid: Madison Broughton is 12-years-old. This native of London, Kentucky won 1st place at the Mountain Soul Vocal Competition Sevierville, Tennessee earlier this year.
