Little Walter & Remembering Lucky Peterson

Friday, May 29, and Sunday, May 31

Crossroads wraps up the May Little Walter Blues Harmonica feature with music from several blues harp players with new albums (including Mark Hummel, Andrew Alli doing a Little Walter tune, and 2020 Independent Music Award) nominee Ilya Portnov, a rare track with Little Walter on guitar, a Little Walter tribute album with Charlie Musselwhite, and a special in hour two chronicling his life and music. We also remember guitarist and organist Lucky Peterson who passed away earlier this month.

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.
