In 2012, Saturday Night Blues, produced at CBC studios in Edmonton, reached the 25-year milestone.
To celebrate SNB’s quarter-century as CBC’s flagship blues and roots radio show, host Holger Petersen and crew pulled together a concert featuring the best in Canadian blues. Colin Linden, Jim Byrnes, Tom Lavin, Shakura S’Aida and Donna Grantis were backed by the Colin James band.
Colin Linden and the Colin James Band perform "Smoke 'Em All."
Canadian classic blues, the best standards and virtuoso playing combine to make this performance a one-of-a-kind event. Not just recorded for radio, the show was also videotaped and can be seen online on Concerts on Demand.
