Radio BluesFlac is here to help great Blues get listened to. Today Mojomama
We receive lots of Blues from PR companies, Record Labels and Artists. All get played on Radio BluesFlac but you might not be listening. So this post will give you a chance to hear what you are missing.
Mojomama is fueled by the power vocals of Jessica Rowand making this band stand out from the others. Mojomama combines Funk Rock and Soul influences from Aretha Franklin to Stevie Nicks and Susan Tedeschi leaving you with a new yet familiar sound. Every Mojomama performance excites the crowd with their hip shaking grooves and undeniable melodies filling your head and making you want more.

Lead singer/founder of Misty Blues since 1999, Gina Coleman makes my eyes go misty when listening to her wonderful voice. Why it affects my eyes and not ears I cannot understand.
Summer Specials. Katie Knipp.
We sent out a message to some of our favorite artists-
During these times I guess you have more time on your hands than usual.
So hopefully you will have a few minutes to let me know which songs you have listened to over the last few months. 10 maximum will be fine.
WHY?
The three radio stations I run will be doing one hour+ specials of music the artists listen to along with some of their songs that I choose.
The three radio stations will be doing specials IF you supply the songs you listened to and think deserve to be played on the radios.
Our Sactown pal Katie was one of the first to reply with an eclectic choice of songs from –
Gary Clark Jr.
Sharon Van Etten
Lucinda Williams
Bruce Springsteen
Son House
Mary Chaplin Carpenter
Tom Waits
Nina Simone
Elton John
Jolie Holland
Join us at 24.00 hrs C.E.T. Tuesday to listen to Katie’s choice and of course a few of her songs too.

Wily Bo Walker is Radio BluesFlac’s Artist of the Month for March.
While waiting for an Album of the Month we decided to spotlight Wily Bo’s music as a way of saying thank you for his support of our new venture.
Without further ado here is our copy/paste effort for this post.
About
Wily Bo Walker is a solo artist, songwriter, composer and performer noted for his characterful vocals and swaggering ‘live’ performances
Renowned as being a diverse and prolific artist and hailing originally from Glasgow, Scotland, Wily Bo works across many styles and genres; Rock, Blues, Gospel, Soul, Classic R&B, Jazz, AAA and Americana
From his huge New York based ‘blues and soul revue’ productions to his UK based, New Orleans themed, ’Rattlin Bone Theatre Show’ and from his acoustic swamp’n’stomp Americana ‘VoodooVille’ shows through to his stripped-down & kickin’ 4 piece Rock & Blues ‘Wily Bo Walker Band’, Wily Bo proves why he has been recognised as an Artist who can twist genres into new forms and has been inducted in to, and is worthy of, the ‘U.S. Blues Hall of Fame’ accolade of ‘Master Blues Artist’
An independent Scottish artist, selling into 70+ countries and with a huge global following on streaming sites like Spotify (1.5 million streams 2017/2018), his previous release ‘Moon Over Indigo’ (Sept 2015) was considered for a 2016 Grammy nomination as was his prior collaboration with Grammy Award winner, Danny Flam; ‘Wily Bo Walker & The Danny Flam Big Band‘ (Nov 2013)
Working with guitar supremo E. D. Brayshaw, the album ‘The Roads We Ride’ was released in March 2019, charted worldwide and received spectacular reviews
Expanding upon the success of ‘Moon Over Indigo’, Wily Bo and Danny Flam are currently working with some of the cream of U.S. & U.K. musicians on a new volume of music that explores the genre-twists that have come to be expected of a Wily Bo production. The album is entitled ‘Ain’t No Man a Good Man’ and will be released early 2020
All roads lead to VoodooVille…

More about Katie: “Having hit #10 on the Blues Albums Billboard Charts with her 5th album release titled “Take it With You,” Northern California Blues Americana Siren Katie Knipp is equipped with powerful vocals and plays a variety of instruments from boogie woogie piano to slide guitar, to honest harmonica laden stories in between. Her various performance formats from raw solo act to full band captures audiences hearts from her first notes.

She has won 2019 SAMMIE for Best Blues Artist, and was nominated Artist of The Year by The Sacramento News and Review. She has gained worldwide radio support, putting “Take it With You” on the Roots Music Report in Top Contemporary Blues Albums spun for 2019 and 2018. She is currently in the studio with her 6th album that includes special guest Keith Cotton, the musical director and keyboardist for Joan Osborne.”
Val Starr & The Blues Rocket – Lighter Side Of The Blues will be our Album of the Month for February.
Lighter Side Of The Blues, the new album from Val Starr taps into a melting pot of influences from across the musical spectrum to create her unique brand of California Blues. “It’s a mindset as opposed to a style,” she comments. “I really try to capture the joy that the blues instills in the hearts of those who love it.” As with all four of her previous releases, Val is backed once again by a legit all-star band of west coast blues vets (dubbed The Blues Rocket by Starr because they send her songs into the stratosphere). Lighter Side offers up a baker’s dozen of original tracks that echo everything from traditional blues to ’60s girl group pop to guitar-driven rock and roll. But no matter what the tempo or the direction the songs take, every track has an undeniable groove that radiates with positive energy. “It doesn’t have to be heavy to be the blues.” Welcome to the Lighter Side Of The Blues.
Good vibes from Wily Bo Walker, Glaswegian Blues Master.
”Thank you for the spin!
I am a big fan of flac (and especially 24bit Hi Res Flacs!) so it’s great to see radio embrace this format – so much more depth to the music and much nicer on the ears!
Fab stuff!”
Thanks Wily, good to know we have had a listener, a listener who knows his flac not just a listener.
As the first good post on Twitter mentioning flac it will be cherished.
