Best Of 2016 + Maple Blues Awards Nominees

January 20/22

Crossroads continues the January Best of 2016 feature with more show favorites from the past year, including John Long and Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters (in tribute also to the band’s bassist who just passed away). Plus a look at this year’s Maple Blues Awards nominees, perhaps the most prestigious blues awards in Canada.  Winners are announced this Monday and the show highlights nearly all of the nominees, including Blue Moon Marquee, Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne, Fat Head, Harpdog Brown and more.

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.
