R&B Jukebox

Saturday, 6 to 8pm

Every week we revisit the Golden Era of Rhythm & Blues, from the early 1940's through the late 1960's. Jump Blues, Vocal Groups, early Rock n' Roll, Doo Wop, New Orleans R&B, Soul, even some big band, swing, and gospel, it's all on board what has been nicknamed "The quickest two hours on radio."

What does a place in Memphis with a name like “Ernestine and Hazel’s” have to do with the history of the Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, and Soul Music? 

To learn more, join us this Saturday for R&B Jukebox with guest host Pete Simon, who recently returned from a trip to Memphis where he heard an earful about the legendary goings-on at “Ernestine’s” through the decades. 

Pete also attended the grand opening of the Blues Hall of Fame, and was (as he says) “finally” able to tour the Stax Museum of Soul Music.
