Juke Joint Shuffle

Juke Joint Shuffle offers listeners a two-hour weekly mix of blues, jazz, rock, World and roots music. John Griffin and Rick Nance co-host this eclectic music program featuring a wide selection of artists from  Frank Sinatra to Frank Zappa, from B.B. King to J.J. Cale to Z.Z. Topp. 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." With their huge music libraries that encompass the World, this partnership of Griffin and Nance means that each week's music often goes in strange and wondrous directions.

John Griffin has been a volunteer program host on WKMS for over a quarter century, most of that time with Stateline Blues, plus MC-ing Kenlake's Hot August Blues Festival for years.  And after 30 years on the Murray State faculty, Griffin began half-time retirement in 2006 to serve as Resident Director for MSU’s Semester in Regensburg Program, spending five month of each year in Germany.

Rick Nance has been co-hosting for WKMS's Juke Joint Shuffle for several years now, and was also the host of his own eclectic program, Rick's Kitchen Sink. Rick enjoys and collects all kinds of music and in his words has "spent a large amount of disposable income on music and concerts". A local graphic designer and illustrator, Rick, for many years, produced the posters for Kenlake's Hot August Blues Festival.
