Taking its brand of pure country music into the homes of nearly 50 million households, The Cumberland Highlanders' Show is America's first national television show dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of one of the nation's unique art forms- traditional Bluegrass Music. Set in the highlands of Kentucky, at the very home place of Bill Monroe, the show mixes pure mountain music with the natural scenic beauty of Kentucky's Appalachian region. Over the past fourteen years, the show has aired more than 396 different 30-minute episodes.

The dedication to preserving traditional bluegrass sound prompted singer/songwriter/mandolin player Dr. Campbell Mercer to form the Cumberland Highlanders nearly two decades ago. The line-up now includes two of Bill Monroe's former Blue Grass Boys, along with legendary musicians like Joe Isaacs, Stacy York, and many more!

Legendary guests...like Dr. Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys, have delighted viewers with favorites, old and new.

The Cumberland Highlanders' Show also showcases regional greats from the Southern Highlands, and rising young talents who are carrying on the bluegrass tradition for future generations to enjoy!
