The Front Porch Blues Show


J. D. Esquire and Angel Child

The first part of the program focuses on acoustic, delta, and early Chicago blues. Tune in to hear the great legends and lesser known artists who formed the roots of indigenous American music. We also feature contemporary acoustic blues artists. The second part of the program is a medley of contemporary blues with a special emphasis on Chicago blues. You'll also hear R&B, big band blues, jazz-blues, zydeco, soul, gospel, and blues that's not easy to classify.

Show Description for Sunday 09/02/2007

The San Francisco Blues Festival - September 28-30, 2007

Tune in at 8 p.m. on Sunday September 9th for our annual conversation with Tom Mazzolini, the producer of the San Francisco Blues Festival (and blues DJ at KPFA in Berkeley). This is the 35th anniversary of the festival and Tom has a lot of surprises this year, plus legendary performers and musicians, from the South and West sides of Chicago to California (including the legendary Jimmy McCracklin, pianist extraordinaire Dave Alexander, and the West coast blues queen Sugar Pie DeSanto), from New Orleans to the Mississippi Delta, not to mention gospel and featured Bay Area women guitarists. If you've tuned in to our past conversations with Tom, you know you won't hear those great blues stories anywhere else. For details on the festival, check out Tom's website at sfblues.com.
