Welcome to The Blues Hotel — where the door's always open and the music runs deep. Every week, we check you in for a journey through the heart of the blues. From the raw Delta sounds that started it all to the electric Chicago nights, from Texas shuffles to Memphis soul — we're here to keep the tradition alive and kicking. But we're not just looking back across the ocean. Right here in Australia, there's a thriving blues scene — independent artists pouring their heart into this music, keeping it honest, keeping it real. We shine a light on those voices, the homegrown talent that deserves to be heard alongside the legends. You'll hear the masters who built this music, the modern voices carrying it forward, and the Aussie artists proving the blues belongs to anyone who's got something to say. Expect storytelling that brings the songs to life, deep cuts you won't hear anywhere else, and that timeless feeling only the blues can give you. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering what the blues is all about, there's a room waiting for you. So settle in, turn it up, and let the music take you where it needs to go.
