Crossroads
Sunday at 7pm
Crossroads is KMUW’s contemporary blues and soul show. Hosted by Chris Heim, the program highlights blues, R&B and soul from the post-war era to the present, from classic recordings to new releases, and from mainstream sounds to a diverse and wide-ranging collection of artists and recordings with roots in the blues and branches in nearly every other musical genre.
Each week Crossroads highlights the latest blues new releases, music from artists with birthdays on the date of the show, and performers with regional concerts in the coming week.
