The Wildwood Flower Radio Hour focuses around the rich history of music and oral culture that originated in the southern Appalachian Mountains after Scots-Irish settlers moved into territory inhabited by Native America tribes harboring escaped African slaves and French fugitives from New Orleans, resulting in the mixture of those disparate cultures creating uniquely new American musical art forms that include Bluegrass, Appalachian Folk, Blues and Gospel.

​

The Wildwood Flower Radio Hour is the only radio show in Los Angeles that consistently programs artists who perform live in studio from the vibrant bluegrass/Americana/folk scene.​  We program real American music, primarily bluegrass, country, and Americana. Most of what we broadcast is performed on acoustic instruments; guitar, violin, mandolin, banjo, dobro and standup bass and is comprised of these basic ingredients: 3 chords and the truth.

​​

In keeping with Southern tradition, the Wildwood Flower Radio Hour features a weekly story telling segment called Talk Story. Some of these stories MIGHT involve a slight exaggeration of the truth.

 

Additionally, there is  a weekly appearance by resident fiddler, "DJ Meeks" spotlighting new artists on scene, with "New Twang."

 

Social Media Maven, Jessica Babin Produces our "Local Twang" segment with upcoming must see live shows in the SoCal area.

 

Host Mike Bone, “Uncle Mike”, is a veteran of the record industry.

 

This is a live radio show.
