Crossroads joins in with Global Village and Night Train this week to feature nominees in this year’s Independent Music Awards which honor artist and small label releases. We’ll hear music from blues nominees Benny Turner, the Altered Five Blues Band, Chris Daniels & the Kings, Wes Mackey, and the Likho Duo.
Plus more blues women for the Women’s History Month feature, including Sister Rosetta Tharpe (whose birthday was Tuesday); Maria Muldaur & Tracy Nelson (from an album in tribute to Sister Rosetta); Canadian singer and guitarist Sue Foley (off her new album, The Ice Queen); Leyla McCalla (who will be featured Monday night on the next program in the new monthly series, Global Village at the Savannah Music Festival); and Ruthie Foster (featured in a Savannah Music Festival concert special in hour two of the show).
