Live, Uncut, Uncensored Conversations With "Musicians You Should Know"

Howard & the White Boys (Howard McCullum, Rocco Calipari, Pete Galanis and Jim Christopulos), got together for a little jam in 1988 and the magic of what they brought to the table was evident. Since then with a few minor personnel changes, the band has been in this formation since about 2007. 

Their 6th album, Rosa's Lounge, is their second live release.  I will get to sit and talk with the band about the their 26 years together and where they came from beforehand as we check out tunes from the album.

Chefjimi Patricola slides into his Couch Seat for the last time in 2014, with his Blues411 Report, to review the year and preview the coming year in the Blues.

Billy Boy Arnold has released first album on his new label, Stoney Plain Records, entitled The Blues Soul Of Billy Boy Arnold.  He released his first album in 1952 and has been thrilling audiences ever since.  The new album was produced by Duke Robbillard and features a group of incredible musicians backing him. 

I get to sit and talk with this incredible talent who was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame in 2013 about his life and career and we'll check out tunes on the album.

Niecie has a new album entitled The Other Side, and she will be returning to The Couch to discuss this collection of songs and what her life has been like since she first became a Couch Kid.
