Bill Smedley

The Old Time Music Hour on WSOV is dedicated to providing listeners the finest traditional and progressive Appalachian old-time music. On the Old Time Music Hour you will hear classic old tunes, new tunes, ballads and even a waltz by famous and upcoming musicians with various styles of playing.

The weekly program is hosted live by Bill Smedley from Jersey Shore Pa., on WSOV FM 101.7 , and archived on Padlet. Bill is a member of the Gnarled Knuckles String Band and has played the 5-string banjo and studied Old Time Music for over 36 years. He has studied with some of the masters of the Old Time Banjo including, Tommy Thompson, Mac Benford, Richie Stearns and Riley Baugus. His knowledge of the history of the music along with his passion for collecting, recording and playing rare tunes combines to make the Old Time Music Hour a very special program on WSOV.

 


The weekly podcast Get Up in the Cool features conversations and musical collaborations with some of Old Time music's heaviest hitters, like Ken Perlman, Adam Hurt, Spencer & Rains, and Jake Blount. 

As an interviewer, Cameron DeWhitt balances an effusive curiosity for the potential of traditional music with a dogged respect for its origins. Serving as audience surrogate, Cameron asks illuminating questions to Old Time's best and brightest while telling the larger story of the tradition's modern era. With over 100 episodes released and no signs of slowing, Get Up in the Cool is quickly becoming one of the largest available archives of new Old Time recordings.

Cameron DeWhitt is a clawhammer banjoist and Old Time musician living in Philadelphia. Cameron is the innovator behind "pitchfork-style" banjo, a three-finger clawhammer technique that allows the player unprecedented access to melody, harmony, and rhythms typically roped off from clawhammer players.
