In the next hour of The Roadhouse, you’ll find every reason you need to get up and dance. Early Times & The High Rollers, Ryan Perry, Lynanne Hyde, Soul Thrivers, and Selwyn Birchwood provide the backdrop for an hour of high activity. Mash ’em up with eight other artists, and you find yourself with a big old plate of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse is everything you’ve come to expect over the years – a variety of blues and a bunch of new blues artists. Ghalia Volt, Kai Strauss, Duke Shelby, Doug MacLeod, and Trickbag step out front and center, but they’re really just a part of a whole. And, how to describe the whole? It’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
With five Roadhouse debuts, a set of soul-blues, and a dip into a deep variety of styles, the next edition of The Roadhouse is full of surprises. Blues Company, Tab Benoit, Soul Messin’ Allstars, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and the Soul Thrivers help fill the hour. It’s a perfect way to get away, and absolutely another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
This hour of The Roadhouse is about an immutable fact of life – that most of us have to work for food and shelter. It’s a fertile theme in the blues and a great seed for this edition. Vanja Sky, Son Seals, Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Rush, and Ruthie Foster take us through an hour of working blues. It’s another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 829th Roadhouse.
This edition helps contribute to the resilience of the blues by featuring four Roadhouse debuts. Ally Venable, John Németh, Veronica Lewis, Westside Sheiks, and Clarence Spady are all ahead. It’s new artists, new music, and another new hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard.
The next hour of The Roadhouse is another hour of fitting together puzzle pieces to make a beautiful whole. Chickenbone Slim, Johnny Nicholas, Harmonica Shah & Howard Glazer, Kirk Fletcher, and Indigenous fill out the edition. While it’s hard to tell how those artists all fit together, let’s give it a shot in the hope that it really will turn out to be another hour of the finest blues you’ve never heard – the 827th Roadhouse.
