This week:
BARBARA BLUE
and
DANIKA HOLMES
sit on
THE COUCH

A veteran and a rookie – each causing a stir.
 

Barbara Blue has been a staple on Beale Street in Memphis for the last 13 years as she takes the stage at Silky O'Sullivans five nights a week. She has traveled the world finding fans wherever she goes.

Having performed with luminaries such as Taj Mahal & The Phantom Blues Band, Jeff Healey, Marcia Ball, Delbert McClinton and others, you know Barbara has the talent. Her newest album ROYAL BLUE was recorded at the legendary Royal Studios here in Memphis.

This is a great collection of Memphis Blues/Soul with Barbara taking on some iconic tunes and making them her own.

  

Danika Holmes was scheduled to sit on The Couch back in July, but she was not able to make it at the last minute.

She will be here to discuss her debut album, SECOND CHANCES and how the entire project came about.

Danika has a unique vocal style that will catch your ear immediately.  “Danika Holmes is a rising star in the heartland!” says Bill Sullivan of The Rock and Roll Report.

We will take your calls and questions for both guests at 1.347.633.9400. 

The live interactive chat room opens 20 minutes before show time. Follow this link HERE and click on the Chat Now icon.

Remember, unless you take the two minutes to register, you will not be able to participate in the chat room or send me questions to ask Barbara or Danika, but you will still hear the show.

This week:
HOT BUTTERED RUM
and
DANIKA HOLMES
sit on
THE COUCH

 

Hot Buttered Rum - evolution is what has brought this band to their current place after 7 years of almost constant touring and adaption.

Beginning with their acoustic bluegrass roots on their first album to their latest LIMBS AKIMBO, showing off a harder rock edge while continuing to keep their 'high-altitude' bluegrass roots.

They have even included a drummer – an instrument not normally found in traditional bluegrass bands. The band is on constant rotation on XM's Grateful Dead channel playing both their Dead covers and their unique brand of music.

This is a booking I have been working on and am very excited to have the band come on and talk about their lives and dreams.

 

DANIKA HOLMES began playing piano at five and by 13 was recording in a studio and found herself a finalist in a songwriting contest.

Other activities in high school caused Danika to put her music to the side. As it seems to happen more often than not, sadness in Danika’s life brought her back to her initial love – music.

Her debut album Second Chances blends pop and country bringing a collection of songs that will paint vivid pictures behind Danika’s full voice.

We will take your calls and questions for both guests at 1.347.633.9400.
