The Roadhouse

The next hour of The Roadhouse leaves you with a feeling of pragmatic optimisim; like things will be okay, even if the reality right now is a little tough. Ryan Perry, Ana Popovic, Eddie 9V, Roland Johnson, and Frank Bey - a little hope, a little truth and, as only the blues can do - a lot of reality. I'm feeling really good about the way this could turn out, and about the next hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 797th Roadhouse.

In this hour of The Roadhouse I've got four tracks that feature guest artists and three Roadhouse debuts. I've also got Jose Ramirez, Larkin Poe, David Grissom, The Reverend Shawn Amos, and Janiva Magness. It's a bit of a grind for all of us these days, but let me try to smooth that path for you with another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 796th Roadhouse.

In the next hour of The Roadhouse, the bandstand's ready to go, there's fresh sawdust on the floor and, if you look around, I think you're in some pretty good company. There's also some great blues on the bill, including Andrew Alli, Rob Tognoni, Seasick Steve, Peter Karp, and John "Papa" Gros. It's a solidly upbeat hour, including three Roadhouse debuts. And it all makes for another hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 795th Roadhouse.

A Roadhouse Rewind occupies this hour. I'll be back next week with a new edition of the show. By the time it's all said and done, this edition of The Roadhouse provides a record-tying number of tracks. Chris O'Leary Band, Bey Paule Band, Omar & The Howlers, Big Mama Thornton, and Fantastic Negrito lead the way, but that's really only just the start. The rest of the hour fulfills the weekly mission - delivering another jam-packed hour of the finest blues you've never heard - the 550th Roadhouse.

It's May in The Roadhouse - time for the annual Blues Music Awards. We'll spend the next hour with 14 nominees across the various categories, including Watermelon Slim, Toronzo Cannon, Catfish Keith, Jontavious Willis, and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram - all names you've heard in the past year and maybe been introduced to right here. It's an hour of peer-honored blues in this edition and, as always, another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

The next edition of The Roadhouse is yet another chunk of time to discover and pass along great new blues.
