This week, Josh Williams didn’t just bring great music — he brought family. Hearing Josh sing alongside his two sons was a powerful reminder of what bluegrass is all about: passing songs, faith, and tradition from one generation to the next. There’s something truly moving about a father sharing the mic with his children, harmonies blending with love, respect, and a shared passion for the music. These are the moments that make this music timeless and keep our roots growing strong. If you believe in family, tradition, and music that means something, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.

Episode #82 brings a special pre-Christmas feel to The Hometown Bluegrass Show. Josh shares a heartfelt performance of the Gordon Lightfoot classic “Song for a Winter’s Night,” perfectly capturing the season. We’re also joined by young bluegrass rising star Molly Clair, who talks about her musical journey and what’s ahead. A warm episode of great music and conversation just in time for Christmas.
