Blues Harmonica & Living Blues Awards Winners

August 12/14

Crossroads highlights the blues harmonica – from classic to contemporary throughout August, including music this week from Mark Hummel, Junior Wells, Charlie Musselwhite, and Moreland & Arbuckle.

And the Living Blues Awards have just announced the winners in both the Readers’ and Critics’ polls and throughout August Crossroads will also feature music from those winners. This time it’s music from Buddy Guy, Shemekia Copeland, Otis Clay, and Allen Toussaint.

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.
