Featuring roots artist, Angela Easterling, Tuesday, April 5, 2016

 Tonight,  Blues Moon Radio is pleased to feature an interview with Angela Easterling.
Roots/Americana singer,

Easterling is a resident of South Carolina, who returned here after years of living on the West Coast and who is partnered, in music as in life, with longtime friend of the show, Brandon Turner.

Her voice puts the "angel" in Angela, and I'm sure you will enjoy listening to her sing, as well as talk about her musical influences and life philosophy.

Angela will be appearing with Brandon Turner at the UU Coffeehouse on Saturday, April 9th. Click the icon for details, or call the hotline at: 803-200-2824 to reserve advance tickets or for more information. You can also connect on Facebook at UUCoffeehouse.  Don't forget to mark your calendars for Tish Hinojosa, who will finish out the UU season on April 30th.

Following Angela's interview, we'll play some Springtime Things, Plus Tax; and will fill in with some leftover money songs from last week's fundraiser. Imagine... leftover money! What a concept.

Enjoy the show and special thanks to Angela Easterling for taking time out to be on the show.

Blues Moon Radio playlist March 15, 2016


Good evening and welcome to Blues Moon Radio


Tonight we will combine some music with some commemorations...

Yesterday was international Pi Day, so we'll combine that with Blues Moon and have some Moon Pi music.

Then we'll segue into some Women's history month songs - with the date being the Ides of March, we'll call it Ides of Ida Cox and friends...

Enjoy!

Blues Moon Radio playlist March 1, 2016: Blues Plate Special!

Hey, y'all!

We had a great weekend in Denmark (SC) at the Julius Daniels Festival, featuring Blues Deluxe with John Hartness and Deej May; as well as my first opportunity to meet and hear Sollie "Puddin'" Jenkins, which was a wonderful treat... the Dane Theater is a wonderful treasure, and is filled with history and cool artifacts (photos to follow).

On tonight's show, we'll make the effort to "march forth" into the week with March 4th in it ... but in reality, we are looking back and gathering some leftovers from a few previous shows that were filled with too many great tidbits to let go.

So, we're clearing out our Blues cupboards and having a Blues Plate Special made up of songs from the Presidential show and the RockyDawg tribute.


Enjoy!

Blues Moon Radio Salute to co-host, RockyDawg Feb. 23, 2016


Tonight it is my distinct honor and joy to dedic-eight (dedicate) this show to my beautiful, talented, loyal and charming co-host, RockyDawg Blues Defender... RockyDawg has been the inspiration for Blues Moon Radio shows since he came on board eight years ago yesterday -- all without once "pawsing" to consider his own needs first, he picked up where Claudette, the Blues Doggess, left off when she passed away after giving her heart and soul to the show for 12 and a half years.

We had a few songs named for Claudie, but Rocky can choose from over four hours of songs with references to him... and these are the ones he has selected for his very special tribute show.

To the most empathic, fiercest and "softest dog ever": You truly do ROCK everyone's blues away... this one is for you, RockStar!

xoxo furever,
Mama Clair
