Renfro Valley Gathering
Shall We Gather at the River
by
Renfro Valley Gathering brings the music and atmosphere of a traditional country gathering to radio. Rooted in the musical culture of Renfro Valley, Kentucky, the program features country and folk songs presented in a homespun variety-show setting.
Listeners can expect a mix centered on live-style musical performance, with the warmth of a community gathering rather than the feel of a formal concert. The title “Shall We Gather at the River” points to a familiar hymn, fitting the program’s connection to traditional and gospel-influenced country music.
The show’s appeal lies in its straightforward, welcoming presentation and its preservation of regional musical traditions. It offers an inviting listen for anyone drawn to old-time country sounds, familiar songs, and the sense of fellowship that gives the program its name.
