Former Santa Cruz Bluegrass Society (NCBS/SCBS) board member Barry Hazle has died. He was 69 years old. He was known for his friendly, booming voice and a laid back attitude that masked a strong volunteer drive in support of bluegrass and related acoustic music.
After his retirement from the City of Sunnyvale Public Safety Department and our board of directors, he and his wife Maline moved to Redding, where he organized The Oaksongs Society For The Preservation Of Way Cool Music and for a time managed bluegrass performers Marley’s Ghost and James King.
He was also a bluegrass radio host on North State Public Radio, where he first helped produce the Good Old Fashioned Folk Music Show and then moved to his own program, The Shasta Serenade, which featured bluegrass and Americana music.
Barry and Maline were also longtime volunteers at the Strawberry Music Festival.
