Episode Title: Triadd on the Bus – Tim McGovern & Pete Gustafson

This week on The Bus Stop Blues, we’ve got the kind of guests who make you want to grab a front-row seat and hang on for the ride. Host Road Bill, alongside Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell, welcomes two powerhouse players from the band Triadd — Tim McGovern and Pete Gustafson.

Triadd isn’t just another weekend warrior band — they’re a well-oiled, road-tested machine that blends soulful blues, classic rock grit, and just the right dash of jam-band freedom. Tim McGovern brings commanding vocals and a guitar style that moves seamlessly from raw edge to smooth finesse, while Pete Gustafson lays down tasteful leads and deep-groove rhythms with the kind of feel you can’t fake. Together, they’ve built a sound that’s tight, vibrant, and rooted in the kind of musical chemistry that only comes from years of playing side by side.
