Virginia-based band "The Bluegrass Brothers" are featured on the
Bluegrass FM website this week. The band, which consists of brothers
Robert (banjo, vocals) and Victor Dowdy (bass, vocals) and Victor's
sons Steve (guitar, vocals) and Donald (guitar, vocals) and non-family
member Travers Chandler (mandolin, vocals), is based in Salem, VA.
According to a video interview with Pete Stover of Bluegrass FM,
Robert explains that the band was formed in 1989 and after adding
Steve and Donald ten years later, the group went full-time earlier
this year and has performed around the country and in Canada this
year. Clips from the video interview can be viewed online at
BluegrassFm.org, the radio station's website.
A portion of an audio interview with Victor will be posted on the
website as well this week. And, a radio broadcast special featuring
Robert, Victor and Travers Chandler will be broadcast over the weekend
as the band performs at the Lucketts Community Center in Northern
Virginia, the venue with the longest-running bluegrass series in the
country.
Bluegrass FM broadcasts a blend of traditional and contemporary
bluegrass 24/7 over its two stations in Virginia, WWED 89.5 in
Fredericksburg and WWEM 91.7 in Lynchburg (starting operation next
week).
