The Blues Hotel: Nocturnal Souls from the Delta to Down Under

Season 3 · Episode 1

Sunday, January 18, 2026 • Duration 01:40:01

Kelvin Huggins unlocks the doors to The Blues Hotel for 2026. We turn the lights down low and the stories up loud. Each episode walks the hallway between Chicago and the Mississippi Delta, then takes a sharp turn into Melbourne bars and Australian backroads—tracing how the blues became a declaration of identity, swagger, and survival.

From Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley’s duelling “I’m a Man” anthems to Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s gospel fire, from Lead Belly calling out Washington D.C. in “Bourgeois Blues” to the raw evolution of “Death Letter” from Son House to The White Stripes, this show treats the blues as a living, breathing force—not a museum piece.

The Blues Hotel also throws a spotlight on the women who shaped the genre, the activists who weaponised it, and the Australian artists who keep its flame burning with local stories and independent grit. Segments like “Then and Now” and “Buried in the Blues” unearth forgotten voices such as Bumblebee Slim, while celebrating contemporary creators from Nathan Cavaleri to Kaliopi and the Blues Messengers.

From dusty Delta roads to neon city nights, The Blues Hotel is where every soul—restless, resilient, or just curious—can check in, listen close, and find themselves somewhere in the song.

Sunday, December 21, 2025 • Duration 01:43:12

In this episode of The Blues Hotel, host Kelvin Huggins sits down with Australian music icon Mark “Diesel” Lizotte for an intimate, wide‑ranging conversation. Diesel retraces his journey from Little Compton, Rhode Island to the Aussie bush and finally Perth, sharing how a house full of jazz, soul, and funk records – and a sudden switch from cello to guitar – set him on his path. He then takes us inside Short Cool Ones, his landmark collaboration with the late Chris Wilson, recalling farmhouse recording sessions, Wilson’s deep, commanding presence, and their shared mission to honour the giants of the blues.
