Join Kelvin Huggins as he dives deep into the tangled roots and resonant echoes of October 30th in blues history.

On this episode of Blues Moments in Time, we spotlight October 30th—a date that threads through the genre’s living history. From the birth of Motown architect Eddie Holland to the final notes of harmonica master Norton Buffalo, this day captures the blues as both memory and momentum. With landmark releases like Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and Greg Koch’s 2024 homage to 12-bar tradition, we explore how the blues keeps breathing, teaching, and transforming. Host Kelvin Huggins guides us through this rich timeline, proving that the blues doesn’t just mark time—it makes it.
