This episode of The Blues Hotel takes you on a non-stop journey into the heart of live, authentic blues from across the globe. Hosted by your captain Kelvin Huggins, you’ll board as a Blues Traveler and be guided through scorching guitar solos, gritty vocals, and the raw energy of stage-born blues performances.

From the deep roots of the Mississippi Delta to the electric buzz of Chicago, the rebellious British blues invasion, and the fresh sounds of contemporary Australian acts like Catch 23 and The Honey Badgers, this episode celebrates the full spectrum of blues.

In our Then and Now segment, we spotlight the evolution of a classic tune—BB King’s mournful masterpiece “The Thrill is Gone” and its powerful modern interpretation by Joe Bonamassa.

Whether you’re revisiting old favorites or discovering new ones, The Blues Hotel is more than a radio show—it’s a celebration of blues as a living, breathing journey.
