Joe Dobbs on Radio

Music from the Mountains

Joe Bids Farewell to W.Va. Public Radio
after Nearly 25 Years!

For almost 25 years, Joe Dobbs has brought you some of the best musicians you’ve never heard of on his weekly "Music from the Mountain" radio show on W.Va. public radio. They’re your neighbors – accountants, teachers, garbage collectors, and lawyers – and Joe find them and puts them on his show, Music from the Mountains.

Friday, June 22, was his last show. He’s 72 years old, and he wants to spend more time teaching, writing, and playing with his own group,The 1937 Flood.

On the day of his last broadcast, Scott Finn of West Virginia Public Radio conducted a wonderful 10-minute interview with Joe about the show and his plans for the future. Click below to listen to Scott's interview.
