Big E Radio is honoured to have the award-winning syndicated blues radio show, At The Crossroads, every Monday night at 8pm mst on

Writer, host, and executive producer Brant Zwicker was recently presented with The 2023 Blues Booster of the Year Award from The Toronto Blues Society at The Maple Blues Awards
and that’s not all!

ATC launched in early February 2003. The program is engineered and produced by Mike Braniff, who is also ATC’s web guru; Rosemary Trace provides the program’s imaging voice; and ATC’s intro theme was written and recorded by Neil Harnett.

“We're a pretty laid-back, humble crew here at ATC, but I've just got to bust out about this. Media publication 'Broadcast Dialogue' does its Canadian Radio Awards every year, and for 2023, we have just scored big with two nods: Best Canadian Multi-Market Network Program and also Best Imaging Voice, both in the small-market category. The imaging win goes to Rosemary Trace, and both nods are without question a total team effort. My thanks to Mike Braniff, Rose, and Neil Harnett for their invaluable contributions to the project!” - Brant Zwicker, atcblues.ca
​​
For the most part, each edition of ATC is a new-music sampler of the many styles that fit under the umbrella of the blues. The program includes plenty of tunes, a two-song spotlight on a new release, a classic blues cut or artist, and emphasis upon both established and independent artists from around the world. The over-riding goal is to attract new listeners to the blues, while also satisfying purists and long-time aficionados.
​
We're happy to now be a part of Big E Radio, and we hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as we enjoy putting it together!

Do you have araskavedekatriaphobia?
That word might be applicable to some today - as it's the fear of Friday the 13th!
But have no fear, we have some great music on Big E today to calm you!
Is there any spooky music you associate with Friday the 13th - the day or the movies?
Here's a few we thought of by Canadian musicians:
Superstitious Feeling - Harlequin
Very Spooky - by YEG's Mac DeMarco
Creep - Deadmau5
Dark Night of the Soul - Alexis on Fire
Afraid of the Dark - Lindi Ortega

Happy Humpday, Big E friends and family! Here's what we have happening for you tonight

8pm - Both Sides Now

Clockwork Angels is the nineteenth and final studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. Although the band's 1976 and 1978 albums 2112 and Hemispheres are often referred to as concept albums, Clockwork Angels is the band's only true concept album as the album features a continuous theme with the lyrics telling a story that runs from beginning to end. Tune in to hear the album Geddy Lee loves the most from their catalogue...

Curator profile!
Tuesday nights at 8 - between Serenderpity and It's Not All I Got, It's What I Got - you'll find these two: Evan van Ramshorst & Quinton Herbert, curators of Two Dudes in a Tune Mood. They share songs and stories that inspire them. Fair warning these two are a little dimly lit, and have an eclectic music taste so don’t expect anything to stay on the rails!
Fun fact - between the two of them - they play in several bands including Mt. Rotterdam and
Tune in tonight to check them out. They coined our phrase - the E stands for Edmonton!

This day in Canadian music history:
9 Sep 1975 Michael Bublé, Canadian singer, crooner, big band singer and actor was born.
Definitely following in the footsteps of crooners of old - he also has his side hustle of changing Bubly water cans to read "Bublé"!

Happy Friday Big E friends!

Today we wish a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to William DuVall who turns 57 today.

DuVall took over vocalist duties in Alice in Chains in 2006 after the death of Layne Staley in 2002. As a member of Alice in Chains, DuVall has appeared on 3 records, 'Black Gives Way To Blue', 'The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here', and 'Rainier Fog'.

On DuVall's audition, band members said they were drawn to him because he did not try and emulate Staley's voice. After only one audition with DuVall the search for a new vocalist was declared over.

Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to crank "Check My Brain".
