If you haven't popped over to our YouTube channel in a while, there's a great collection of performances in there you're missing. Next time you're eating lunch at your desk, take a look at what amazing stuff happens on a near-daily basis here.

Sometimes it felt like we were paying as much attention to the weather radar as the music, but in the end, there was sun.
Day 3 at Newport had quite a finale: the skies cleared up, and a mutual admiration society of Dawes, Jonathan Wilson, Tom Morello and Sara Watkins held court on the Fort stage with Jackson Browne as their leader, soaking it all up.

One of our favorite festivals, Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival, is coming up this weekend, June 16 & 17 at Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
You might not think of New York City as the center of the progressive-bluegrass world, but the Punch Brothers have made it so. Their third release - Who's Feeling Young Now? - was written here, and it feels like it. They did a lot of the new songs in their set for the WFUV SXSW Showcase on Friday afternoon, including their cover of Radiohead's "Kid A."
We just finished our SXSW showcase! It was very exciting show & I think it was a great representation of the diversity of sounds that you find here on FUV.
