This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill takes the wheel with Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell riding shotgun, and together they welcome the soulful and gravel-voiced Jeff Anthony to the studio. Known for his heartfelt songwriting, road-worn vocals, and deeply personal lyrics, Jeff shares stories behind the music, his creative journey, and his roots in the Midwest music scene.

From the quiet power of his acoustic ballads to the raw punch of his bluesy numbers, Jeff delivers a performance that feels both intimate and cinematic. The conversation drifts through tales of heartbreak, hope, and highway miles, all tied together with that signature Bus Stop Blues wit and warmth.

 Featuring live performances and handpicked tracks that reflect the soul of Americana, folk, and back-alley blues, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves their music with a little dust and a lot of truth.

So pull up a seat, pour a drink, and stay awhile—this is The Bus Stop Blues.
