mvyradio's Archives for Sugar Hill / Vanguard Artists

If mvyradio is On The Road to a great music festival, you can bet there's a Sugar Hill or Vanguard Records artist on the bill.

For 30 years Sugar Hill Records has been releasing American Roots Music from the artists who define, and redefine, the genre. And Vanguard's roots go all the way back to 1950, and some of the most pivotal blues and folk releases of the half century that followed. We've been lucky enough to capture a few performances from some of Sugar Hill and Vanguard's most treasured talent. Enjoy the interviews, acoustic takes, and live sets below. And if you like what you hear, support the artists and the label, by buying their records.
