Les Irby’s Bluegrass Saturday Night is a true original and by far the most popular specialty music program in the Valley, A Shenandoah County native, Les has lived many places but his heart has always been in the Valley. The Bluegrass bug was planted early when as a kid Les enjoyed watching Reno and Smiley on television. It also helped that the woman who babysat him loved Bluegrass and listened to it constantly. But his love of Bluegrass really came in the seventies when he attended Bluegrass festivals for the party, but learned to appreciate the music. This is where the things he respects most about the music came into focus: the music’s history, honesty, and real emotions. Les has hosted Bluegrass Saturday Night on WSIG for over 15 years.
You can listen to Bluegrass Saturday Night on WSIG Saturdays 6pm-midnight. You can also catch Les Irby overnights from 12am-6am and during Country Sunday from 9am-noon.
