On Apr. 22, at 8 p.m. ET, The Bluegrass Situation and Ed Helms will begin their ‘Whiskey Sour Happy Hour,’ a 21st-century online variety show benefiting MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief Fund and Direct Relief.

After the premiere, new shows will be broadcast every Wednesday for the following three weeks—April 29, May 6, and May 13. Confirmed guests for the series include Chris Thile, Yola, Sarah Jarosz, Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi, Rodney Crowell, Aoife O’Donovan, Robert Ellis, and Watkins Family Hour, to name a few. Additional guests will be announced in the coming weeks. 

“As soon as we realized the severity of the current crisis, Ed and I both knew we had to do something to support both our musical and medical community—and not just a one-time thing, but something that could promote more sustained giving through multiple shows,” said BGS Co-Founder and Executive Director, Amy Reitnouer Jacobs.

‘Whiskey Sour Happy Hour’ can be streamed at thebluegrasssituation.com or on YouTube and Facebook.
