On this weeks edition of United States of Americana I featured new local music from The Roe Family Singers. I have new sounds for 2024 from artists like Hurray for the Riff Raff, the Australian duo The Pleasures, Rod Picott & local artist John Louis, who has an album release show this week! I also play a couple from Dolly Parton, who turned 78 years of age a few days back!
