Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we remind you that although the funding drive is over it's never too late to give! You know what to do. Now let's start the show. I don't NEED to remind you how talented Canadian artists are - but I will anyway. Here are the latest from Crystal Shawanda, Ginger St. James, Lucas Haneman, Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin, Geoff Arsenault, and the McKenna Moonah Blues Duo. Next come the hottest new blues(y) singles from Robert Jon & The Wreck, Pat Smillie, Robert Randolph, two singles from Harrell "Young Rell" Davenport,plus this week's feature new release by Larry Kurtz And The Lawbreakers. In the "history" set we go back more than a hundred years for a 1924 recording by Sylvester Weaver followed by Sippie Wallace, Ethel Waters, Tony Hollins, John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson, Lowell Fulson, Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Jimmy Rogers, Tinsley Ellis, Raful Neal, and Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater. Rob Lutes is appearing at the Hemmingford Coffeehouse du Vendredi Soir so we'll close with a song from Sussex' latest release "Shine".
