Bues is the Truth 811

We are locking in another solid two hours of blues this week, proudly supported by our sponsors at Crawdaddy Club Richmond. We have got updates on all the superb live gigs coming up there over the next few months. Musically, the selection is absolutely massive. We are jumping right into the groove with the legendary Andy Fairweather Low, alongside Ryan Bluwrath Newman, the grit of The Bad Day, and the sharp sounds of Chicago Nola. We have also got the brilliant Thomas Heppell with his new single, followed closely by another piece of history from my old band, Blues is Truth, spinning what we recorded in the studio sixteen years ago. The variety stays completely relentless as we spin tracks from Jo Carley and the Old Dry Skulls, the fantastic The Terraplanes Blues Band, Estonian slide master Andres Roots, and the raw power of the Five Points Gang. The line-up rolls straight on through the stellar sounds of The Mustangs, Bad Influence, and a brilliant side-project cut from Carleys Wreck and Ruin. As the show continues we have great tunes from the legendary Dave Kelly, the clever harmonica work of Big Harp George, and the incredible Ciaran Hodgins Band. You will also hear Breezy Rodio, the timeless Chicago style of Lonnie Brooks, and the massive soul-blues energy of the All Night Boogie Band. Wrapping up an absolute monster of an episode, we are bringing you the top-tier combination of Giles Robson and Robbin Kapsalis, one from JP Reali, Davis Coen, and the unmistakable Texas tone of Jimmie Vaughan. Two hours, exceptional bands, and the best blues anywhere on the web.
