Program Title: JAM Live! Episode 39 - Mike Bentley & Cumberland Gap Connection
Description: This is the third of our six part series featuring music from the 2015 Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Haines Junction, Yukon.
This very popular festival, which has been running since 2003, has presented amazing music from the finest artists in bluegrass such as Blue Highway, Balsam Range and Steep Canyon Rangers – and for the first time, this year JAM Live! recorded some of the fantastic performances. .
Today's episode features Mike Bentley & Cumberland Gap Connection from Kentucky, a highly energetic bluegrass band with a sound all their own. The group strives to take their driving style of bluegrass to the next level with aggressive instrumentation mixed with a distinctive vocal harmony style.

We recorded these live performances by Mike Bentley & Cumberland Gap Connection June 12th to June 14th, 2015 at the Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival in Haines Junction, Yukon.

The episode includes parts of an interview Whitehorse producer Steve Gedrose held with Mike and his band on June 13th after their first show.
