Executive Producer/Director Ed Commons
Continuing on the location audio aspect of my early career, I now produce and direct a weekly syndicated radio program of Bluegrass Music, all recorded “live”, called Red Barn Radio. It is a challenge “to hit the marks” and a lot of fun. The musicians that we feature each week are an inspiration with their knowledge and musical craftsmanship. Red Barn Radio is now in its twentieth broadcast season, performing, promoting and preserving the Music of Kentucky.
