Support Live Music!

I can imagine lots of you are feeling the pinch of higher prices… they always go up and rarely drop. I can understand if that alters your entertainment habits as it has mine. 😕

There are still lots of options to hear some great music this week, with musicians from this area as well as some on tour (plans undoubtedly made when it made more sense financially) and a whole host of other great choices. If it’s within your means to go to a show I encourage you to make the effort. I’m certain that you being in the audience will make a difference in the life of the artist(s) as well as to the venue owner. They’re all depending on us for our continued support.

Thanks

Mavis Staples proved once again that passion and purpose only deepen with time, taking home two GRAMMY Awards at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards and reaffirming her place as one of the most enduring voices in American music.

Staples won Best Americana Performance for her stirring rendition of “Godspeed” and Best American Roots Performance for “Beautiful Strangers,” honors that reflect her continued excellence across gospel, soul, roots, and Americana traditions.

These latest wins bring Staples’ career total to five GRAMMY Awards, adding to a legacy that stretches back decades. Best known for her groundbreaking work with The Staple Singers and timeless songs such as “I’ll Take You There” and “Respect Yourself,” Staples has also enjoyed a celebrated solo career marked by socially conscious, deeply human songwriting.

Now in her eighth decade, Mavis Staples remains a vital creative force, with music rooted in faith, justice, and hope. Her 2026 GRAMMY victories stand as a powerful reminder that authenticity and soul never fade.

Hi Blues Fans! I learned tonight of a Blues Radio show, streaming, too. 91.5 FM Time: Fridays 8pm 1am. It's called the Billy Beaver Show.. give it a shot tonight as you rest up post NYE.

Stream it here:

Billy grew up in northwest Mississippi about five miles from the Tennessee state line and the city limits of Memphis – the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock n’ Roll. He listened to 1960s rock, the local soul music of Hi and Stax record labels and old school country music and performed...
