SHOW # 296 – Live Uncut & Uncensored Conversations With “Musicians You Should Know” The Jimmys are out of Wisconsin. The Jimmys have been tearing up stages with their blend of blues, soul, funk and R&B for nearly 10 years. Award-winning keyboardist/singer/songwriter Jimmy Voegeli has assembled an all-star lineup: Perry Weber, veteran guitarist/singer/songwriter; Mauro Magellan (Georgia Satellites) drums; John Wartenweiler bass. I’ll chat with Jimmy (and maybe more) about their journeys to find each other and where the band is heading while we listen to music from the new album, Hot Dish. Chris Yakopcic has actually been on the show from the International Blues Challenge in the past, so it was time to bring him onto the Monday show…and with the release of his new album, The Next Place I Leave.  I’ll chat with Chris about his road to the Blues and the new album and more.  Steve Howell heard Mississippi John Hurt at the age of 13 and things were never the same since.  Throughout his life he has performed and learned and grew his skills.  His latest album, Yes I Believe I Will, is recorded with a trio of friends affectionately known as the Mighty Men and Steve and I will explore his travels and music. Georgie Bonds has a new album entitled Hit It Hard.  Georgie will come back and we will chat about what he has been up to since his last visit.  We’ll also explore the new album and the music Georgie is making.

It's a great day to get the '57 Cadillac convertible of the blues out of the garage and rolling down the road. Chris O'Leary, Buddy Guy, Laura Rain & The Caesars, Georgie Bonds, and Altered Five Blues Band keep us moving, feathering the gas pedal just enough to keep that momentum going. Like the 558 editions before it, this edition of The Roadhouse really promises to make for another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

 Live, Uncut & Uncensored Converations With "Musicians You Should Know" Carolyn Fe comes by for the COUCH KID NEWS segment to give some thanks for her album being named "International Release Of The Year" for the Jimi Awards. Georgie Bonds is a Philadelphis, PA native who was a part of the storied Black Cowboys organization.  While working as a blacksmith, Georgie would play his guitar and make up songs. That led to playing with the likes of Hubert Sumlin, Koko Taylor, Jimmy Vaughn and many others. He released his debut album in 2001.  It took until 2013 for his second, Stepping Into Time to be released. I'll speak with Georgie and find out more about the obstacles he has faced along the way and his determination to keep moving forward.  This is a great story. George Taylor has spent time in the Delta perfecting his art, had the honor of being invited to do an interview with the legendary Sonny Paine and lived in Austin where he recorded his second album, Rain Or Shine.  The album is a collection of 10 originals that show the depth of Taylor's lyrical style and his wonderful melodies. Altered Five Blues Band are Jeff Taylor, Jeff Schroedl, Mark Solveson, Scott Schroedl and Raymond Tevich and this Milwaukee based band's third album, Cryin' Mercy has been produced by Tom Hambridge.  I will speak with the guys and find out about ther journies to come together and thier new music. Erin Harpe & The Delta Swingers (JIm Countryman, Bob Nisi and Richard Rosenblatt) have a new album entitled Love Whip Blues and we will chat with them during the Couch Kid New Music Segment of the show.  They're on the way to Memphis for the 2015IBC
