Folk Tradition

Sundays at 6:00pm on 90.5

The range of music Bob Blackman plays on The Folk Tradition includes traditional folk songs, Celtic tunes, bluegrass, acoustic blues, gospel, Cajun and zydeco, and much more.

"Every week I choose some of the very best music I can find and share it with my listeners," he says. "I'm grateful that so many of them have made the Sunday evening programs on WKAR/FM 90.5 a 'folk tradition' in their own home."
