CKNM Rory Block, Jason Elmore, Mitch Kashmar & CKNM Stevie J

Rory Block returns to The Couch to talk about her latest release, Keepin’ Outta Trouble, the sixth album in her “Mentor Series” saluting the blues masters who’ve had a profound impact on her music. This time she pays tribute to Bukka White.  Rory will be making her third appearance on The Couch and we’ll talk about the music. Jason Elmore takes a seat with me to discuss his journey and the new album from he and the Hoodoo Witch, Champagne Velvet.  This is the third release for the band from Dallas who won “Best Blues” in 2012.  Jason and I will talk about his winding journey, putting the band together and where they are heading with this new release. Mitch Kashmar has just released his third album on Delta Groove entitled West Coast Toast.  The two-time BMA nominee honors the unique sounds of the west coast on this album.  I am looking forward to speaking with Mitch and learning of his journey and influences and what he sees in his future. Stevie J is an original Couch Kid having sat here back in January of 2011.  He is now about to release a new album entitled Back 2 Blues and as we listen to the tunes, we’ll find out what has been happening in Stevie’s life.
