Best Of 2018/BMA & Grammy Nominees & Tributes

January 25/27

Crossroads wraps up the January Best of 2018 feature with more Blues Music Awards and Grammy nominees – this time including Shemekia Copeland, Dom Flemons, Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite, Maria Muldaur, Elvin Bishop and Bettye LaVette. We also remember some artists who passed away in 2018, including Terry Evans, Eddie C. Campbell, Otis Rush and, in hour two, a special tribute to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.

Chris Heim produces and hosts Global Village, a nationally and internationally distributed world music show; the nightly jazz show Night Train, and Crossroads, KMUW’s twice-weekly blues and R&B show. Chris is also a critic and freelance writer whose work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Utne, Global Rhythm, Dirty Linen, and Option, among others.
