Boston born with a childhood in North Carolina, Watermelon Slim talks about the tracks which have inspired him.

Boston born with a childhood in North Carolina, Watermelon Slim talks about the tracks which inspired him as a boy and have helped him produce the music he’s made– with some acapella thrown in along the way!

Cerys digs into her collection to play blues of all hues.

From cutting edge contemporary sounds to scratchy old vinyl from the past, whether it’s from Memphis, Mali, or Manchester, no stone is left unturned in the search for the best of the blues. With live guest sessions and interviews, alongside blues voices from the archives.
