Feb. Feature – Duos & Eddie Shaw

February 9/11

Crossroads marks the second month of the year with blues twosomes – legendary, rare and contemporary blues duos, including a House of Blues special about blues duos in hour two of the show.

We’ll also feature music throughout the month from blues saxophonist, Howlin’ Wolf band leader, and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Eddie Shaw, who passed away at the end of the month.

On this show, we also remember Dennis Edwards, lead singer with the popular Motown group, the Temptations, who passed away last week.  And we’ll preview local and regional blues concerts for the coming week.

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.
