Episode 36 – September 21th, 2025 Guest: The Abby Kay Band
Good evening, Musicland! On tonight’s ride of The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill is at the wheel with the Amazing Bill LeClair filling in for Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell — at least until we patch him in along the way. Together, we’re keeping the blues bus rolling strong with another unforgettable night of music, stories, and soul.
This week, we’re rolling out the red carpet for a band that’s been shaking up the blues and roots scene with power and passion — The Abby Kay Band. Fronted by the commanding and soulful vocals of Abby Kay, this band fuses the grit of the blues with the driving punch of rock and the heart of Americana. From tear-in-your-beer ballads to high-energy rockers, the Abby Kay Band delivers a live show that leaves audiences buzzing long after the lights go down.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
