🎙️ Over 50 Years of Keeping the Blues Alive
At the heart of the show is John Mullen, a man who has lived and breathed the blues for over half a century.
John’s journey began in the 1970s as a founding member of the legendary Cadilac Hooker. Throughout his storied career, he has shared the stage with an absolute "who’s who" of blues royalty, including:
⚡ The Tradition Continues
Three years ago, John teamed up to form The John Thomas Blues Band. Since then, they have become a definitive staple in the Windsor, Ontario blues scene, carrying the torch for a new generation of listeners.
Now, we’re bringing that Windsor soul directly to you. Tune in this weekend and let the music do the talking.
💻 The Intersection of Tradition and Technology
While the station honours the past, it embraces the future of music production. A unique highlight of our programming is the original music created by John Mullen and his brother, Marty (the station’s DJ and announcer).
Much of this original work was composed and produced in Mixcraft, a powerful Digital Audio Workstation. By blending old-school blues with modern tools, John and Marty showcase the incredible creative heights that can be reached using today’s computers and AI-assisted technology.
This isn't just a trip down memory lane; it’s a demonstration of how the blues continues to evolve in the digital age.
