Happy belated 4th-ish. Rob and Greg are back in studio and are joined by returning guest and friend Steve Tortoretti and we're going to talk blues. Sit back for some history and chat about the blues that we hope will boost your spirits.

Stay tuned after the show for a song from The Blastoffs. Sit back and enjoy! Follow them for more music, info on upcoming shows and keep on staying safe and supporting those local businesses and musicians.

The Blastoffs

There’s a certain magic in the unplanned conversation, the kind where a shared love for a melody leads to a story you never saw coming. That’s the space Season 7 (2024) occupies. Hosted by the folks at Carnival of Randomness, this series leans into its name, offering a vibrant mix of sounds and candid talks. While it lives firmly in the Music and Interviews categories, it feels less like a formal interview and more like hanging out backstage or digging through crates with someone who has fascinating tales to tell. Each episode is built around genuine curiosity, whether the focus is on an emerging artist’s creative process, the hidden history behind a genre, or the personal soundtrack to a guest’s life. You’ll hear the music itself woven into the dialogue, not just as a backdrop but as a central character in the discussion. The result is a podcast that celebrates the eclectic and the authentic, where every conversation is its own unique carnival ride. Tune in for moments of discovery, unexpected connections, and the pure joy of talking about the art that moves us.
