The Old wooden barn can be heard every Friday at 8 PM eastern time, and is hosted by John Dowling, who is determined to spread his love for Traditional Country music to everyone he comes across. He’ll play music from the early days of Country, all the way up to recent times. As long as it’s got steel guitars and fiddles, it’ll be played. He encourages interaction through Mastodon and TeamTalk, and if you’ve got a request, feel free to send it his way. So, dust off your cowboy boots, break out the whiskey, and let’s make your Friday night something to remember!
