Blues Moments in Time – October 22: The Echoes of a Living Legacy

Join Kelvin Huggins as he explores October 22nd through the lens of blues history.

Four defining moments tell the story:

  • 1931 – Jack Teagarden bridges blues and jazz with his landmark recording of “Beale Street Blues.”
  • 1969 – Led Zeppelin reimagines Chicago blues as electrified, heavy rock with Led Zeppelin II.
  • 975 – Linda Hopkins brings Bessie Smith’s spirit to Broadway in Me and Bessie, proving the blues can command the stage.
  • 1990 – The passing of Arthur “Big Boy” Spires reminds us that the blues was built not just by legends, but by the journeymen who lived it night after night.

Hosted by: Kelvin Huggins

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.
