etown's BlueGrassRoots is the first genre-specific CD in a series of compilations highlighting the best live performances culled from etown's extensive library. A limited release sure to become a collector's item, BlueGrassRoots combines such popular bluegrass and acoustic artists as Nickel Creek, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, David Grisman & Tony Rice, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Hot Rize, Old & In The Gray and more, as well as rare performances from legends like Ralph Stanley and the late John Hartford.

Founded in 1991, etown is a nationally-syndicated radio show heard 52 weeks a year on over 160 commercial and non-commercial radio stations across North America. etown is produced by a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization with a mission to produce high quality programs of diverse music and conversation in order to entertain, educate and engage a wide audience in appreciating and protecting our cultural and natural resources. Like old-time radio variety shows, every etown show is taped in front of a live audience, and features performances from many of today's top musical artists as well as conversation and information about our communities and environment. Founders Nick Forster, of legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize, and his wife, singer/actress Helen Forster host the show.
