Country music in all its forms resonates deeply in central and northern Wisconsin’s rural landscape, where it continues to inspire and delight local audiences. In this encore broadcast, Shereen Siewert welcomes musicians Art Stevenson and Jerry Schmitt, along with 106.5 WYTE radio morning show host Larry “Big Red” Wnorowski, for an exploration of country music, from its earliest roots to its enduring popularity.
Playing together for the first time, Stevenson and Schmitt feature some of their favorite songs from country’s early days, blending guitar, harmonica and vocals for a truly one-of-a kind performance. They also discuss the artists and styles that influenced them the most, and the impact those songs have had on today’s country artists.
