Good morning, blues lovers! Welcome to another Tuesday Bluesday as I return to work and The Music Mermaid takes charge. We start with some Louisiana blues!

Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday lineup:

9:00 a.m. The Best of Louisiana Blues: Various Artists

4:00 p.m. Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at The Mann Music Center, Philadelphia, PA, June 30, 1987

We spend some time this afternoon listening to guitar god Stevie Ray Vaughan live from Philly!

8:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Tracy Nelson

She’s a little bit country and she’s a little bit blues, and that makes for some great country blues sounds to close out our Tuesday Bluesday programming!

Tuesdays are always busy in The Lounge, but there’s plenty of room for everyone. We’re on 24/7 and we’re totally free and every Tuesday is a blues day. That’s how it works here. The button is below.
