About Blues Radio
Blues radio honors one of America's most foundational musical traditions — a genre that gave birth to rock and roll, soul, R&B, and jazz. Blues stations are concentrated in the American South (particularly Mississippi, Chicago, and Texas, the three great regional blues traditions) but dedicated blues stations exist worldwide, reflecting the genre's profound influence on 20th century global music. The format typically mixes classic Delta and Chicago blues from the 1940s-60s with contemporary blues artists who carry the tradition forward. Blues radio audiences tend to be highly engaged and knowledgeable, creating communities around the music rather than simply passive listeners.
Blues stations are strongest in the US (South and Midwest) and UK. Dedicated blues programming exists in France, Germany, Netherlands, and Australia where the genre has devoted expatriate audiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different regional styles of blues radio?
Delta blues (Mississippi) is the rootsy, raw acoustic tradition of Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. Chicago blues electrified the Delta tradition — think Howlin' Wolf and Buddy Guy. Texas blues has a more guitar-forward, jazzy feel — Stevie Ray Vaughan is the definitive example. Blues rock stations blend these traditions with rock production.
