A world war, a small city, and the largest movement of people in US history. Mix these together, and you’ll get a unique, patchwork style of music. Join us as we pick apart the ingredients of the West Coast Blues. We'll have a look at the epicenter of Oakland's Blues scene during the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, explore the destruction of that scene, and reflect on how history seems to repeat itself.
