About this listen

The Blues Hotel, hosted by Kelvin Huggins (with regular contributions from Rufus “Old Man” Tate), is a fortnightly audio journey into the heart of the blues. Each episode mixes deep-dive storytelling, musical analysis, and live performances across four signature segments: Backstory Blues (the history and myth behind iconic songs), Then & Now(originals vs. transformative covers), Buried in the Blues (obscure, heartrending recordings born of hardship), and Live at the MBAS (vibrant performances from today’s Melbourne scene). Expect Robert Johnson’s mythology, prison-born music from Robert Pete Williams, gritty reinterpretations from Koko Taylor, and a spotlight on local bands like Catch 23. New episodes every two weeks. Also check out our companion podcast, Blues Moments in Time.
