Biography:
Our "Kentucky Girl" Gracie Muldoon, as she is known "on air", has presented a Bluegrass and Country program on radio since 2000. Starting in public radio in Batavia (Cincinnati), Ohio, she quickly became a favorite, not only of the area Bluegrass and Country fans, but the "hard rockers" of Cincinnati's Legendary rock station WEBN 102.7 FM , as well, were even tuning in to listen to her funny, upbeat personality, on her Friday morning Bluegrass and Classic Country program, Muldoon 'Til Noon. Gracie's program proved to be an “alternative ritual” from their usual hard rock radio fare. On April 19, 2004, it even garnered her an appearance as a guest, with the famous, and infamous, Eddie Fingers, Bob the Producer & the Dawn Patrol. Gracie admits that she's only come to “crave” Bluegrass only in the last 10 years (she was an old rocker too, but raised in a Bluegrass Gospel home). The reason she turned back to Bluegrass, was, as that she got more and more into "acoustic, pure" sounds,, she learned to appreciate the "masters of 'grass". From the pop and rock 'n' roll sounds of the 60’s, 70's 80's and 90's rock, Motown, eventually, went to old country music! However, now, Bluegrass is tops in her promotion, although she still listens and likes other genres of music, particularly Blues and Reggae. Her father and mother, Rev. Carl Howard and Mary (Griffith) Howard, natives of Breathitt County, Kentucky, are the local pastors in their Newport, Kentucky church congregation, the West 7th St First Church of God. Their congregational meetings began about 40 years ago in 1968, in the basement of their home, where, Gracie and her two sisters, were always singing Bluegrass and contemporary gospel harmonies, on piano and with Dad on guitar, in church. She well knows about the "feel" and "traditions" of true Bluegrass music, the love of which, comes from the “purist” side of the family, her dad and mom. Gracie got into webcasting and found it to be exciting, challenging, stimulating and now has established a huge worldwide fan base of Bluegrass music lovers all over the globe. Celebrity interviews are a large part of her Saturday night shows and she's talked with some of the best in Bluegrass and Country music, e.g. Charlie Daniels, Jerry Reed, Rhonda Vincent, Jesse McReynolds, Doyle Lawson, Tony Rice, John Cowan, Darrel Scott, Sam Bush, Todd Taylor, James Reams, J. D. Crowe, Jim Van Cleve, Carl Jackson, Steve Gulley, Lou Reid, Larry Rice, Larry Cordle, Jerry Salley, Charlie Louvin, Jack Cooke; the list goes on and on. Recently, Miss Dixie Hall, wife of Tom T. Hall, honored Gracie by awarding her with an “Honorary Daughter of Bluegrass” award – which she considers her biggest thrill, among the awards she’s received during her career. She has "captured" some of the greatest talents in broadcasting to fill her live DJ spots as well, that makes the WWB the largest growing LIVE Bluegrass station on the internet!
