Merlefest 2007 begins this Thursday, April 26th, on the campus of
Wilkes Community College in North Carolina. It's one of the largest
Americana music festivals in the country. This year, Main Stage

Waybacks, Sam Bush, Earl Scruggs, The Duhks and more.
The Wilkes Community College campus radio station, WSIF, has carried a

year, for the first time ever, WSIF will be streaming their radio
signal, so fans around the world can listen in. At showtime, go to

hours on the station's stream. Performances from participating
artists will be posted on mvy's Merlefest page,
