Piedmont Blues, John Mayall & Thornetta Davis

August 9/11

Crossroads kicks off a new month’s feature celebrating Piedmont Blues, with two of its finest practitioners – Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee

We remember pioneering British blues rocker John Mayall, who recently passed away, with his groundbreaking Bluesbreakers work and music from one of his last recordings.

There’s new music from Eric Bibb, Taj Mahal, and Juba.

And we’ll celebrate the birthday of Detroit blues singer Thornetta Davis.

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.
