Q&A with Canadian Folk-Blues musician Alex Beraldo, veteran of his craft, his music is a modern take on folk, blues, roots music and rock n roll

“Off the top of my head.. I think the Blues probably did a lot for civil rights back in the 60's.  You had all these young white British and American kids looking up to the old black Chicago (by way of Mississippi, usually) bluesmen and emulating them.  It hopefully helped bring the cultures together. Although it is worth noting that there was a lot of theft of songs going on around then too by white people from the black folks who started it…

Q&A with bluesman Adrian Byron Burns - Europe-based considered to be one of the most exciting performers around today.

Blues is a very fundamental language in music. In essence, it speaks truer of emotion rather than vocabulary. While you can find plenty of sophistication, it, at base allows simple et profound understanding. That’s why it’s so popular around the world.”

Q&A with keyboardist, singer and songwriter, Dave Keyes - veteran of the Blues and American Roots music scenes

My hope is that music and the arts in general are supported as a way of culture that supports the human existence… Europe treats the arts as an essential form of the learning process… whereas in the US, arts funding is being cut and politicized as being non-essential. That is ludicrous.”

Q&A with France-based uprising blues musician Enzo Cappadona - a passion, respect and skills for the blues

Posted on October 6, 2025 at 12:00pm 0 Comments

I think that to make the blues more popular today, a musician needs to blend it with other musical styles, so that more people can relate to it. He can also write about universal or modern themes — subjects that people can identify with. That’s how you keep the blues alive and relevant.”

Q&A with Nashville musician Ben Brandt, exploring the sweet spot where indie meets the grit of blues rock

Posted on October 6, 2025 at 11:00am 0 Comments

“It’s important to preserve the blues for its history for its raw emotion that crosses over into many different genres. Without blues as a foundation many of these styles would not exist today. I feel that it’s important to understand where the roots came from.”

Q&A with The Dutch singer/songwriter Harry Loco - peace activist and troubadour, well known in the folk music scene

Posted on September 30, 2025 at 9:30pm 0 Comments

“There should be new young artists emerging like in the 60/70's, but maybe that's wishful thinking, especially with the rise of AI. These days, the music industry is ruling the music business as it ever was, and it's heavily in the minority. Music is becoming purely a consumer product, and the artists are interchangeable.”

Q&A with multifarious artist Al Basile - poet, playwright and musician known to blues fans world wide

Posted on September 28, 2025 at 11:00am 0 Comments

“It’s important to preserve and spread the blues publicly because there are a lot of people who don’t know what an inspiration and balm it can be in your life – because they haven’t been exposed. There are other people who don’t know they can write, sing and, play blues to keep themselves sane and to cope with a crazy world - because they haven’t heard it. So we have to get it out there.”…

Q&A with Pierre Lacocque of Mississippi Heat - continues to look ahead as it stretches the boundaries of Chicago blues.

Posted on September 27, 2025 at 10:30pm 0 Comments

Blues music is existential. It will never die. It reveals what human beings experience from infancy to old age. The intricacies, joys, and struggles of life are embedded in this profound music.”

Q&A with veteran musician Larin Michaels, brings his multi-instrumental talents and deep Motown roots to the forefront

Posted on September 27, 2025 at 10:00pm 0 Comments

What I miss most from music nowadays are, nowadays music with lyrics and stories that have poor substance and lack of a good melody line that songs of the past had. Many new artists don’t understand hooks and how to sing the song to deliver it out of a box.”
