I’d like to invite you to join me each Wednesday afternoon for three hours of coast to coast blues. A high octane blues show with an occasional mix of classic rock, folk, and zydeco. Each week I will feature an artist, and introduce you to their latest work. There will be interviews, giveaways, and live in studio performances. So call up your friends, and plan a road trip each Wednesday afternoon from 3:00 to 6:00 with “Highway Blues”.

SCHEDULED FEATURED ARTISTS ON HIGHWAY BLUES:
Featured artist interviews and in-studio appearances run from 3:30-4 p.m. central unless otherwise noted.

Wednesday, Oct. 6 Tommy Castro

Tommy Castro will be kicking off my solid list of featured artists for October. On October 6th he will be joining me live on air to talk about his new release “A Bluesman Came To Town”. It is a story about a young man from a small town. And the life changing impact a blues man has on him when he comes to town.

Wednesday, Oct. 13 Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps

Today I welcome back to Highway Blues, Teresa James of Teresa James And The Rhythm Tramps. Teresa, originally from Houston Texas is a Grammy Nominated singer, songwriter, and keyboardist. Her and her band “The Rhythm Tramps” now remain a staple of the Los Angeles-area blues scene. And have just released their 12th CD titled “Rose Colored Glasses, Vol. 1” Which we will be featuring the music from through out this weeks feature spot. The music sounds every bit as cool as Teresa looks on the cover of this great new release.

Wednesday, Oct. 20 Carolyn Wonderland

Todays featured artist is yet another talented female blues artist from Texas. Today on Highway Blues we take you to Wonderland. With this weeks featured artist Carolyn Wonderland. Not only does she play an amazing slide guitar. But during her live shows she is likely to play a list of other instruments as well. Including the trumpet, accordion, piano, mandolin, and lap steel. If you’ve never been lucky enough to see her live, she will be performing the early show tonight at the Zoo Bar. But before that, Carolyn will be joining me for a live interview. And we will be featuring the music from her brand new Alligator debut “Tempting Fate”.

Wednesday, Oct. 27 Tony Holiday

And finally to close this months feature spot. I have the honor of welcoming Tony Holiday as this weeks featured artist. Originally from Salt lake City, Utah, he was persuaded to move east and now hangs his hat in Memphis, Tennessee. After laying down his guitar some years ago, he has since mastered the harmonica and performed with a who’s who of blues legends. Including the likes of James Harman, John Primer, Kid Ramos, Charlie Musselwhite, John Nemeth, Mitch Kashmar, and Bob Corritore, to name just a few. Now on his newest release “Tony Holiday’s Porch Sessions Volume 2” the tradition continues. With guest artists such as Willie Buck, James Harman, Richard “Rip Lee” Pryor, and Mark Hummel and Bobby Rush. I am excited to share with you the music from his latest project. And to welcome for the 1st time to “Highway Blues” the next big thing. Mr.Tony Holiday.
