Steve Daub hosts WRPI's weekly "Stormy Monday Blues Hour." With live interviews and three sets of music, expect to discover a new favorite tonight. Jamaican born Jimy Graham grew up in NYC where he absorbed the sounds of Motown and the Carribean. As a phenomenal teenage guitarist he joined Wilson Pickett's band, occupying the role filled earlier by Jimi Hendrix. He has lived and played across the globe, and a couple years ago returned to NY bringing his prodigious guitar talents to the acoustic blues. New Jersey bluesman Jeremy Wallace is a protege of Dave Van Ronk who introduced him to the music of Leadbelly, Kokomo Arnold, Furry Lewis and Charlie Patton--influences that continue to form the bedrock of Wallace's gritty lyrics lyrics and greasy, passionate guitar work. Heartbreaking, wry, sexy and rocking--Jeremy Wallace's music is unforgettable. Berkshire-based Robin O'Herin has a rich repertoire of blues and gospel music. Playing bottleneck and fingerstyle guitar, ukelele, and mountain dulcimer, her concerts are affirming experiences that take listeners to the Delta and Piedmont with songs by Robert Johnson, Willie Johnson and Robin's own original blues and ballads.
