Juke Joint Shuffle offers listeners a two-hour weekly mix of blues, jazz, and roots music. Long-time WKMS personality, John Griffin hosts the eclectic music program featuring artists like Mavis Staples, Neko Case, Ry Cooder, Allison Krauss, Robert Plant and Yo-Yo Ma. Griffin says, “The name of the show honors older blues musicians who were expected to play anything the juke joint customers cared to hear; not just home-made blues, but all the popular songs of the day. And of course when you hit the shuffle button on an mp3 player, there is no telling what will play next." Most every week, he is joined by his old pal, graphic artist Rick Nance. This partnership means that the music often goes in even stranger directions.
Juke Joint Shuffle is on hiatus while John Griffin travels to Germany.
Until his return, tune in to Rough Mix, hosted by Bryan and Jen Bartlett.
