BANDANA BLUES invites you on a musical journey every week for about an hour and a half of 21st Century Blues with a nod to The Masters. Beardo (from Philly, USA) started with the Bandana Blues shows doing them live on the internet in the late 1990's and was soon joined by his long-time friend Spinner (from The Hague, NL). Soon after the turn of the century Bandana Blues became a weekly podcast. Be... more

An ongoing labor of love and remembrance by Spinner for our friend, Beardo. Thank you, friend.
The best weekly Blues show on the internet, hands down!
Have been listening to this show for well over twelve years. The undeniable best part of my week, it has been with me through some rough times, as well as the good.
