Hop on the big bus and ride with us for another unforgettable night of music, stories, and local flavor! This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill and Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell welcome Chicagoland’s own Heather Moran — jazz vocalist and frontwoman for Bluewater Creek — for a deep-dive conversation about her musical roots, current projects, and road stories.
This episode is packed with soul, blues, and rock classics, plus a few surprising twists along the way. We also take a moment to correct the record on last week's Derrick Procell track “The Wolf Will Howl Again,” which features unreleased demo vocals by the late, great Eddie Shaw in a touching posthumous duet.
