BRISTOL — Radio Bristol’s Farm and Fun Time returns on Thursday, July 16, live at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum with musical guests Belle Frantz and Andrew Sa.
Hosted by Kris Truelsen and Country Casserole, Farm and Fun Time is a re-imagining of the classic WCYB Radio program of the same name that aired in the 1940s and 1950s. Radio Bristol’s Farm and Fun Time broadcasts live before a studio audience and recorded for television syndication on more than 143 PBS channels across the United States.
Belle Frantz
Hailing from Greenwood Springs, Mississippi, Belle Frantz is an independent artist bringing the classic country charm to today’s music scene. Her music has been featured in the hit show Landman and her debut EP, “Why I Sing This Way” was a collection of covers paying respect to some of her heroes including Reba McEntire, Conway Twitty and George Jones.
She was recently a writer on a Vince Gill song “Lonely’s What I Do” and released the first piece of a project called “Hymns From a Barstool”, inspired by the gospel music that shaped her sound today. She’s toured with Willie Nelson, Alabama, The Castellows and Tracy Lawrence, and is looking forward to headlining venues of her own soon.

Andrew Sa
Andrew Sa steps confidently into the spotlight with his debut album American Rough, out on June 26 via Bloodshot Records. After growing up in the Bay learning to sing along to classic country hits, Sa eventually moved to Chicago to further his songwriting education through a class at the Old Town School of Folk Music, and went on to meet the collaborators that shaped his musical career in Chicago for the years to come: Liam Kazar and Sully Davis.
It was largely through Cosmic Country that Sa became a sought-after voice in Chicago’s independent music scene, enveloping audiences with his signature, siren-like croon and delectable charm.
