There’s a certain bounce to this week’s Roadhouse Podcast. It finds a groove and stays there right on through to the end. With artists like Mike Dugan, The Siegel-Schwall Band, Danny Eyer, J. B. Hutto, and Johnny Hoy and The Bluefish, it’s impossible to refrain from chair-dancing, snapping your fingers, and generally annoying your co-workers. [...]

Like the variety of colors in the trees outside The Roadhouse, Roadhouse 036 provides all the hues of the blues. The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Jeff Fetterman Band, Teresa James, Archie Edwards, and Marcia Ball provide the reds and golds, with nine other great blues artists filling in the rest of the foliage. The Roadhouse [...]

As close to a theme show as we ever come in The Roadhouse, this edition features great guitar cuts from heavy overdrive to sweet slide.

Byther Smith, The Mitchell Blues Band, Tab Benoit, Glamour Puss, and Johnny Nicholas step out from the pack this week. But, don’t fool yourself – any of the other seven artists are fully capable of [...]

Eric at Blue Republic was very generous and very kind in a review this week of The Roadhouse. Among his comments:

Blue Republic: Podcast Reviews
The Roadhouse works on the tag line of “The Finest Blues You Never Heard” and 99.9999999% of the artists are indeed obscure and blues staples are rarely heard. Increasingly however, as the [...]

In the spirit of “simpler is [usually] better,” The Roadhouse has taken on a new look. In the past few weeks, I realized how cluttered the old design had begun to look. I found the great Conestoga Street WordPress theme by Theron Parlin this morning, and knew it was exactly the look I wanted. Add [...]
