Bluegrass music has been passed down for generations. Now, a store, a show, and the people behind it all are taking steps to ensure this music continues to be passed down.
Granvilleâs Sutton Ole Time Music Hour, a bluegrass show performed at the Sutton General Store since 2008, will be livestreamed without an audience each week in January due to COVID-19.
Jimmy Bilbrey, who manages the Sutton Ole Time Music Hour, said the decision was made to comply with Tennessee’s new guidelines on social gatherings. Viewers can watch the show at 6 p.m. on Saturdays via Sutton Ole Time Music Hour’s Facebook page. Listeners can also visit www.granvilletn.com for a list of radio stations that broadcast the performance. Bilbrey said it is important to continue hosting the show because it is syndicated worldwide.
