Kelvin Huggins didn’t grow up with a guitar in his hands, but he was always surrounded by the sound of music. Born in a small town where the only thing louder than the church bells was the sound of his grandmother humming the blues, Kelvin developed a deep connection to the genre before he ever understood its full meaning. Blues was the soundtrack to his life, not through playing, but through listening. The way it told stories of joy, sorrow, triumph, and heartache resonated with him in ways words alone never could.
Although Kelvin didn’t pick up an instrument, he became a student of the blues in his own right. He poured over the records in his grandmother’s collection, studied the lives of the greats, and spent endless hours in local record shops. He immersed himself in the history, the legends, and the modern-day artists who were keeping the blues alive. Music wasn’t just entertainment for Kelvin—it was a culture, a language that transcended generations and borders.
Over the years, Kelvin found his own voice, not through song, but through the microphone. His knack for storytelling and his passion for the blues naturally led him to radio, where he quickly made a name for himself as an expert curator of the genre. Unlike most radio hosts, Kelvin wasn’t just reading a script or playing the hits—he was creating an experience. The Blues Hotel became his platform, a place where listeners could journey through the history of the blues, hear personal stories, and connect with both iconic musicians and up-and-coming talent.
His ability to speak about the music with authority, yet without pretension, made The Blues Hotel more than just a radio show—it became a home for blues lovers. Whether he’s introducing a soulful classic or diving deep into the lives of modern blues artists, Kelvin’s deep knowledge and passion shine through. His approach was always personal and genuine, as though he was inviting each listener to sit with him over a drink and share a few tales from the road.
What made The Blues Hotel truly special was that Kelvin was able to connect the dots between the past and the present, showcasing how the blues continues to evolve. He may not have been a musician himself, but his understanding of the music was second to none. Each show was a journey through time, with Kelvin as the guide—a warm, welcoming voice leading his listeners through the twists and turns of blues history.
And so, every week, whether you’re a lifelong blues aficionado or a newcomer eager to learn, Kelvin opens the doors of The Blues Hotel to you. No reservations needed—just a love for music and the stories that come with it.
