Bob Eike grew up in Texas and is a self-taught guitar player. Throughout his youth, he had a passion for the Blues and Americana music. His musical talents gained him recognition by ‘Guitar Player’ magazine, featuring him as “an undiscovered great.† After moving to Chicago, he discontinued recording and performing live...until now.  Bob just released "happy little songs about futility and despair," and he will join me to talk about his journey and the new album.

Carolyn will join me to talk about her incredible career and the new music.
