The Front Porch Blues Show


JD Esquire

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.
