The Bluegrass Jamboree

The Bluegrass Jamboree is a Princeton, West Virginia station devoted to the intersection of bluegrass, country, and gospel music — three American genres with deep roots in Appalachian culture and the Mountain South. Broadcasting from the heart of West Virginia, The Bluegrass Jamboree celebrates a musical tradition that is indigenous to the region and that still thrives in the hollows, churches, and community halls of states like West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The music centers on traditional and contemporary bluegrass — the banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and close harmony vocals that define the form — alongside the gospel music that has always been inseparable from Appalachian musical life, and the classic country sounds that emerged from the same cultural roots. Artists like Bill Monroe, Alison Krauss, the Stanley Brothers, and the Osborne Brothers share the playlist with gospel quartets and traditional country singers rooted in the same tradition. This is not mainstream Nashville country — this is the older, deeper sound. The Bluegrass Jamboree is available online as a free stream, broadcasting continuously from Princeton. Whether you grew up in West Virginia or simply love American roots music in its most authentic forms, The Bluegrass Jamboree offers direct access to music that is both genuinely regional and universally meaningful.
