About the Show
Blue Monday makes it feel real good to feel so bad. From classic bluesmen like Lightnin’ Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, to local favorites Doug Sahm, Toni Price, and Ray Benson – and of course, Stevie Ray Vaughan – Larry Monroe wraps up Monday night with a cathartic dose of the blues.
