Blues Moments in Time - November 9 A Living Lineage

Join Kelvin Huggins as he dives deep into the tangled roots and resonant echoes of November 9th in blues history.

Hosted by Kelvin Huggins of The Blues Hotel Collective, we rewind the reel to November 9—a date that hums with historical resonance and global rhythm. From the coal country grit of Frank Hutchinson’s slide guitar to the gospel-fired urgency of Susan Tedeschi’s blues-rock, and the hypnotic Hill Country grooves of RL Boyce, this episode traces a lineage that refuses to fade.

But this isn’t just a look back. It’s a celebration of the blues as a lifeblood—timeless, borderless, and alive. Across Australia, the UK, and North America, November 9 pulses with live jams, street soul, and festival fire. Whether it’s Bridgetown’s final festival notes, London’s funk-fueled explosions, or Toronto’s smoky riffs, the blues is kicking hard and echoing louder than ever.

With poetic nods to James Talley’s storytelling and a global roundup of contemporary events, this broadcast proves one thing: the blues is not a relic. It’s a moment in time that keeps on playing.

“Every groove holds a memory, and every moment echoes the truth of what came before.”

The Blues Hotel Collective is an independent blues media platform dedicated to preserving, promoting, and celebrating blues culture. While we are based in Perth, Western Australia, our "hotel" is a metaphorical space—a welcoming hub where artists, fans, and historians can "check in" to connect, share stories, and immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of the blues. Our mission is simple: to give the blues a bigger voice – through authentic storytelling, in-depth interviews, and passionate music discovery.
