Hey there. This week, I wanted to give a little shout out to the guys over at The Blues Kitchen Radio (Podcast).
The hosts, Liam Hart and Gareth Ragg, put together a very tasty, eclectic show every week and I’ve been enjoying it for quite a while.
They don’t just play Blues music. They often go far afield with their music choices – like they did on their March 22nd show when they threw in a Sitar version of “Jumpin Jack Flash.”
But each tune comes with its own story and it’s consistently a lot of fun.
I always feel like I’ve just had a music multi-vitamin when I listen to one of their broadcasts. Check them out.
