Hillbilly At Harvard
Hillbilly at Harvard has been hailed by critics and a devoted audience as the best country and western show in New England.
Nearly five decades ago WHRB began presenting then-developing country and bluegrass, from the Carter family to Bill Monroe. The program caught on, and top touring bands began appearing on WHRB. Hillbilly had found a home at Harvard and now can be heard every Saturday from 9am-1pm.
