A Garrard County, Kentucky, native, Bradley Kincaid was a 1921 graduate of Berea College Academy (high school). Work for the YMCA after leaving Berea led to his attending Chicago's YMCA College (now George Williams College). An interest in collecting folk songs fostered at Berea and singing with a college quartet in Chicago led to guest appearances on the WLS National Barn Dance. His singing style and repertoire of traditional songs were so well received that in 1928 he became a regular performer on that program and became known as the "Kentucky Mountain Boy." He published 13 songbooks, made numerous commercial recordings, and appeared on major radio stations in the midwest and northeast throughout the 1930's and into the 1940's. From 1942-1947 he was a regular on WSM's Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Upon leaving WSM, he entered the radio station and music store business in Springfield, Ohio, where he eventually retired.
