It’s Tuesday Bluesday and We’ve Got Roomful of Blues, Hot Tuna With Our AOW, and ‘Live’ Tedeschi Trucks, March 28, 2023

Good morning, bluesologists! We’ve got ourselves a blues trifecta today. Even our AOW is a blues-rock offering today. Red on for details!

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

9:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Roomful of Blues

We kick off Tuesday Bluesday with the great swinging blues of Roomful of Blues, a Rhode Island band that has been recording and performing for over fifty years. Not to be missed!

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Steady As She Goes by Hot Tuna

We’ve got the great blues-rock vibe of Hot Tuna ad mid-afternoon, with a 2011 release that was their first studio album after a long list of live performance albums. Jorma Kaukonen wrote six of the songs on this album.

7:00 p.m. Tedeschi Trucks Band Live at Red Rocks, Morrison, CO, August 30, 2012

The biggest, baddest blues-rock band in town with one of the all-time great guitarists in Derek Trucks. This great band, helmed by Susan Tedeschi, is known for its high-energy live performances. Another one that’s not to be missed today.

Tonight we air No Nukes, a 1979 concert from MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy), a group consisting of Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt, Harvey Wasserman, and John Hall. This activist group formed shortly after the Three Mile Island accident in March of 1979.
