Three-quarters of the way through the holiday season for 2021, and I think the mood could be described as festive. Buffalo Nichols, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Samantha Fish, Jools Holland, and Big Maybelle help provide the soundtrack for our holiday festival. It doesn't really matter whether it's an intimate holiday gathering or a raucous Christmas party - it's all another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
My name's Tony Steidler-Dennison. The hour ahead will put us halfway through the 2021 holiday season. I've got another six holiday blues tracks in the hour, and three Roadhouse artist debuts. It should all be enough to keep you moving, whether that's in y
The next hour of The Roadhouse is full of new artists and blue cheer. It's the first edition of the holiday season and it features four Roadhouse debuts, as well.

It's an hour of cheer and another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
It's an hour of contemporary blues this week, even though some veers off toward blues rock.

Ricci/Krown, Hitman Blues Band, Beth Hart, Sue Foley, and Johnny Tucker will keep you moving for the hour. Sitting or standing, I think you'll be dancing through another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
If you're looking for the headline in the next edition of The Roadhouse, it that it's another upbeat hour. With three instrumentals and a fully acoustic set, the hour takes off with R.J.

It's an hour of blues with an edge, and - well, you know it - another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
I've got lots of great blues in the next hour of The Roadhouse, organized, I think, in a way that'll make sense to you. Witout a any special sets or focus this week, there's just a flow from the first minute to the sixtieth. Tito Jackson, Danny Bryant, Ben Levin, Joanne Shaw Taylor, and Robert Cray are all ahead. It's an hour organized quite sensibly and another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
I've got a Roadhouse Rewind this week, but will return next week with a new edition. I've got another broad hour of blues with a pretty big variety of styles.

Gary Hoey, Fiona Boyes, Bobby Rush, Wee Willie Walker, and The David Bromberg Band all help to take us away from the rest of the world for awhile. Let's hope it's a comfortable, if temporary, shelter. Nonethele...
The next hour of The Roadhouse has some real standout sets. I've got a next generation set focused on the future of the blues, and a set of smokin' Freddie King covers. Rod Gator, Popa Chubby, Buffalo Nichols, Neal Black, and Malted Milk & Toni Green are all ahead. It's a pretty big variety, as usual, with a couple of sets leading the way for another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
A more mid-tempo show lies ahead, without quite the hectic usual pace. Davy Knowles, Tony Holiday, Buffalo Nichols, Hanna PK, and Miss Lady Blues shine in this hour. There are a couple of new names in that list with Roadhouse debuts, too. So, maybe a little less tempo but no less another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
Live and Misissippi could be the theme of the next hour of The Roadhouse. I've got a fully live set, and a set with a couple of Mississippi Hill Country blues, along with a ton of other great blues all around those features.

I'm also pretty certain you'll find it to be another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
The hour ahead is an unintentional guitar hour, including a full set of blues-rock guitar just past the halfway point.
