Blues Before Sunrise

This Chicago-based program explores, preserves, and popularizes the various eras and genre of Blues Heritage, from the 1920s to the 1970s. As a musician himself bearing substantial credentials, Steve Cushing numbers among his friends and closest associates fellow musicians to whom the blues is a vital, thriving music as well as a means of making a living. Blues Before Sunrise serves an audience that includes loyal home listeners, musicians lounging on break, lovers in their living rooms, cab drivers and other service workers pulling the graveyard, and even teen airwave surfers discovering an entire musical world peopled by cats who were hip before them.
