Blues Progressions
Where Every Note Tells a Story

The blues is more than a musical genre. It is the foundation of countless musical traditions, a reflection of American history, and a powerful expression of the human experience.

Blues Progressions explores the people, instruments, innovations, and cultural influences that shaped the blues and the music that grew from it.

From the Delta to Chicago, from acoustic guitars to electrified stages, and from traditional blues to rock, soul, and beyond, we follow the musical connections that changed popular music forever.

Explore the Music, One Season at a Time

Each season of Blues Progressions takes a deep dive into one subject through six focused episodes, released weekly.

Our shorter, approximately 25-minute episodes make it easy to explore a subject one chapter at a time—or listen to an entire season as a connected musical journey.

Whether you're a lifelong blues enthusiast, a musician, a student of music history, or simply curious about where today's music came from, there's a story waiting to be discovered.

Listen. Learn. Discover the Blues.

Blues Progressions is sponsored and produced by EKA Technology, LLC.
