New Orleans music aficionado Drew Miller packs up the jazz train and heads down to The Big Easy for a musical gumbo with authentic flavor. Zydeco, funk, gospel, and brass all converge in the experience you get only with The 2nd Line Parade. Check out the Second Line Parade program page for Drew's interviews with NOLA stalwarts like Irvin Mayfield, Johnny Vidacovich, Mark Mullins from Bonerama and Paul Sanchez.

The longest running blues radio show west of the Mississippi, Every Shade of Blue keeps you hip to the blues with the latest artists climbing up the blues charts, and the foundations of America’s signature sound.

Raymond heads into the midnight hour with jukebox tales of blues and boogie. She done him wrong, he done her wrong, everybody’s wigglin’ to the fat saxophone and not really payin’ any mind. Honkin’ & Screamin’, the gritty sounds of the 40s, 50s, and 60s merging of jazz, blues, and rock & roll. Host: Raymond O'Donnell

The overnight blues sensations keep coming, early into the morning with J. Otis Williams. Straight up old school blues for the night owls who just can’t seem to turn the radio off.  Find the Jazz 88.3 Blues Radio Facebook page.
