Beale Street Caravan this week features The Subdudes and the Lionel Young band.
If you're a follower of the show Tremé you would've seen New Orleans band, The Subdudes. If not, now's your chance to hear them on stage at the 2011 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Lionel Young is a much respected performer and is a past winner of the Blues Foundation's IBC award. The Lionel Young band was recorded rockin' the 2011 Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise.
Author, Preston Lauterbach, returns with another episode of The Chitlin Circuit and the Road to Rock & Roll.
Information
Beale Street Caravan features live performances drawn from concerts recorded in the US for The Blues Foundation who are based in Memphis Tennessee.
The styles vary from traditional acoustic Country Blues to the latest approaches by the new generation of performers, with gospel and Cajun along the way. Guest presenters host mini-series about Blues History and performers, and during New Zealand Music month Kiwi blues takes centre stage.
