Bop N The Blues
Fridays from 8pm - 10pm

Cut to the basics--and completely contrary to your preconceptions of the blues—Bop 'n The Blues features joyous, danceable music to fuel your TGIF party! Tune in and you'll hear the raw backwoods blues of Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, and John Lee Hooker contrasted with the polished urban sounds of LeRoy Carr, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Robert Cray, gospel, rockabilly, doo wop, blues-based jazz, jump blues, swing, and even some plain old rock and roll from folks like Little Richard, Fats Domino, and Elvis Presley.

Bop 'n The Blues first aired on WQLN on May 19, 1995. Since then, every Friday night, the show boards the listener on the mythical Blue Train for a two-hour ride along the big-city boulevards and the back-country roads of the blues.
