Friday, June 26 and Sunday, June 28
Crossroads celebrates the June 26th birthday of one of the key figures of pre-electric Chicago Blues, Big Bill Broonzy. We’ll hear some of his classic tracks and a tribute from Mark Hummel’s latest album in hour one, and a special, including a conversation with Broonzy biographer Bob Riesman, in hour two of the show.
Crossroads also wraps up the June West Coast Blues feature with jump blues hitmaker Floyd Dixon, and we move up the coast for music from Portland’s Curtis Salgado and Alan Hagar, and Vancouver’s Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne and Blue Moon Marquee.
Plus the latest from Blind Lemon Pledge, Hudspeth & Taylor, Bruce Katz, and Watermelon Slim.
