Some Background
A great big howdy to ya: I’m Wayne Rice, a bluegrass radio programmer from San Diego, California. I began compiling this material in 1988 for DJs like myself who want to sound at least knowledgeable about bluegrass music on the air. Initially, I published Bluegrass Bios® in a three-ring binder and sold it to DJs around the country … but now it’s here on the web, and it’s free! Use it for your show prep, or enjoy learning more about the fantastic artists who play and sing bluegrass music. If you find errors or wish to suggest, please get in touch with me. Thanks!
