Classic & Contemporary Blues Make Waves Together on WHQR

This week's installment of Front Street Blues seizes on the latest wave of 21st century blues artists, weaving them between time-honored tracks from familiar voices of the genre. FSB host & producer Lan Nichols blends the classic work of Homesick James, Chick Willis, John Weston, and Chico Banks with the modern artistry of Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps, Delmark Record's Breezy Rodio, vocalist Carolyn Gaines, guitarist J.J. Vicars, and the Peter V Blues Train. Tune in every Saturday at 91.3fm or listen online from anywhere on planet Earth at whqr.org, from 11:00 pm until midnight.

A Wilmington resident since 1993, Lan began his tenure as on-air host for WHQR’s Front Street Blues in 2003, later adding operations and information technology to his duties, as well as production & logistical support for the long-running music series, Soup To Nuts Live!. He also provides images, video, and written content to WHQR.org.
