The Blues Hotel with Kelvin Huggins: Neon Blues Nights

The Blues Hotel: Neon Blues Nights

In this atmospheric episode of The Blues Hotel, we take a late-night journey through the flickering neon-lit world of classic and modern blues. From smoky bars to city streets, “Neon Blues Nights” blends timeless legends like Little Walter, Etta James, and BB King with modern torchbearers including Samantha Fish, Gary Clark Jr., and Seasick Steve.

Highlights include:

  • Live at the MBAS: Featuring explosive Aussie blues band The Blowout.
  • Then & Now: A deep dive into Little Walter’s “My Babe” and its gritty reimagining by Seasick Steve.
  • Backstory Blues: A reflective tale on quiet love and emotional depth.

With soulful cuts, raw emotion, and community spirit, this episode reminds us that the blues evolves—but never forgets its roots. Tune in, check in, and keep the blues alive.

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.
