Celebrated both as engaging radio personalities and dedicated music promoters, the couple has turned their lifelong passion for acoustic roots music into a vital platform for artists. Together, they host The Bluegrass Show & Tell, broadcasting live from Little Rock on Central Arkansas’s prominent "Voice of the People," KABF 88.3 FM. Their massive impact on the bluegrass community extends far beyond the studio walls. Larry and Angel serve as the official promoters for the acclaimed Mountain View Bluegrass Festival in Mountain View, Arkansas—known nationwide as the "Folk Music Capital of the World." Through their tireless work on the airwaves and backstage at major events, they have built deep relationships with bluegrass legends and emerging pickers alike, making them trusted and beloved figures in the regional music community. On-Air Style & Sound Faithful Openings: Every episode of the show thoughtfully kicks off with a curated selection of uplifting bluegrass gospel songs to set a warm, welcoming tone.
