Over 50 shows are housed on our network from around the world of which a vast majority are produced exclusively for us playing Blues, Soul, R&B, Americana, Alt Country, Bluegrass, Celtic, Folk, Roots and everything in between.

“ Blues And Roots Radio plays an important part in connecting the independent musician with their audience - and I see this both as a musician and a broadcaster. The network delivers finely crafted programmes to an audience who are not casual listeners but dedicated music fans, each one of them passionate about the folk, blues or roots music that they love and look to the network to deliver. As a radio broadcaster it means a lot to me to realise that I am reaching people with the same love of the music as me, and also as an independent musician the opportunity to have my music heard and appreciated, and connect with people worldwide is invaluable. The fast-growing listenership of Blues And Roots Radio is significant and is well served by the station and its programmes - shows that you would not find on traditional commercial or network radio, and in the post-big label music industry its role will become ever more crucial to the independent musician.”
— Paul Long, Producer, Musician, Broadcaster

" Blues and Roots Radio reminds me of my youth – when the pirate stations broadcast whatever the hell they liked and challenged the status quo with non-mainstream music. Contemporary music would not be what it is today without those who look beyond the big money for their musical kick. For better or worse, I have always lived on the edges of the mainstream and I am grateful to the likes of Stevie Connor and Blues and Roots Radio for finding another way to celebrate the beautiful underdogs " - ​Stephen Fearing ( Canada )
​Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Singer / Songwriter / Producer

" Blues & Roots Radio's tag line is " The Voice of the Artist, " and the station is true to its promise. In a world where the medium has more often than not sought to eclipse the message, The Team make it their business to ensure that both the message of music and its messengers arrive safe and sound in homes around the world. This is a radio station run by folks with enthusiasm, generosity, determination, good humour, and - above all - integrity. In short, they're in it for the long haul, and for the right reasons " - Andrea England ( Canada ) Singer / Songwriter, Lemonade Factory Music

“Stevie Connor and his passionate team have done an outstanding job in providing a platform for both independent and signed artists to gain increased international radio exposure. Blues and Roots radio has greatly aided me with my album of the week promotion through a broadened fan base.” Ben J. Carter, Guitarist, Singer / Songwriter ( Australia )

" We could not have done without the support of Blues and Roots Radio, a phenomenally successful platform for artists to promote their music worldwide " Oka Vanga ( UK )

" I cannot thank Blues & Roots Radio enough for their sincere interest in my music. My first impression of their quality, far reaching, website was upheld by their gracious service, and rapid ex*****on of their promotional services. Independent artists now have a splendid resource to turn toward for worldwide exposure of their precious musical endeavors !

The Long Road To Flin Flon: A new chapter is coming…

The Independent Ecosystem is the latest chapter from The Long Road To Flin Flon, and this one takes the story behind the story.

From Blues & Roots Radio to FEA Media, Music2Radio, Boreal PR and eventually The Sound Cafe Journal, this chapter looks at how one idea kept leading to another, and how trying to solve one problem for independent artists eventually became something much bigger.

At its heart is a simple question: Where does the history go when the music stops playing?

This is the story of why we decided that sometimes, artists need more than somewhere to be heard.

They need somewhere to be remembered.

Coming soon to The Sound Cafe Journal.

The Long Road To Flin Flon

Some stories take years to tell.

The Long Road To Flin Flon is mine.

It is a story about where I came from, the people I met, the music that shaped me, the mistakes, the adventures, the friendships, the unexpected turns, and the journey that eventually brought me from Scotland to Canada.

Over the past months, I’ve been sharing exclusive excerpts from the book through The Sound Cafe Journal.

Looking back through these memories has been quite a journey in itself. Some make me laugh. Some make me cringe. Some remind me of people and places I haven't thought about in years.

And some make me stop and think about just how much a life can change.

From football and the pipes, to travelling the world, discovering music, building a new life in Canada and finding my way into the world of broadcasting and journalism, these are stories from a life lived rather than planned.

If you’ve been following along, thank you.

And if you haven’t, you can start the journey here.

The Long Road To Flin Flon, exclusive excerpts, only at The Sound Cafe Journal.
