BLUES-BELTING, SOUL-SHOUTING, GUITAR-SLINGING TROUBLE!

Hey there, cats and kittens, sinners and saints, heartbreakers and troublemakers! Better nail down the furniture, 'cause THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD is back with another two-fisted, hard-luck, low-down, high-steppin' excursion into the wild blue yonder!

There's gospel for the righteous, whiskey for the wicked, and enough rhythm to make a wooden Indian get up and dance!

It's THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD, where the blues ain't an experiment — IT'S A FULL-BLOWN EMERGENCY!

THE BLUES KEEP MOVING ON

 

The blues get knocked down, get back up, and keep moving. Thirty songs. Two hours. 

This edition of The Scientific Method follows the blues wherever they want to go. Chicago grit, Southern soul, hard-driving guitars, deep grooves, new retro R&B, raw boogie, and the music being made right now.

Fools and lovers, accusations and second chances, gratitude and regret. Things get lost. Things get found. Plans change. Along the way, survival starts sounding a whole lot like celebration.

Old hands alongside new voices, tradition bumping into invention, and one song leading naturally —and sometimes unexpectedly — into the next.

Turn it up and follow the trail.

LOOK OUT, PEOPLE — THE BLUES ARE LOOSE!

Guitars! Shouters! Belters! Boogie! Hoodoo! Gospel! Soul! A little sanctification and a whole lotta trouble!

We got blues chasing you! Black cats crossing your path! Cherry red wine! Blind men crying! Crybabies crying! Somebody wants to go home and somebody else had better not come around THIS house!

There's hoodoo ahead, somebody you can't escape, trouble left over from last night, a Brooklyn boogie — and waiting at the end of the whole two-hour blowout is one final piece of advice!

But you'll have to listen, brother, to FIND OUT!

Blues on Demand. Demand the blues.

A blues show built from what’s happening now — electric blues, soul, funk, R&B, and rock ’n’ roll, with artists who know the tradition without being trapped by it. The connections are there: in the grooves, the voices, the riffs, the attitude and the occasional sideways turn.

Not a history lesson. Not a lecture. Call it informed programming without the annotated bibliography. Mostly just letting the music do the talking. Jovin Webb - Every Time I Roll The Dice

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method is a blues show that refuses to stay in one place. New voices, deep roots, soul, R&B, rock & roll, & the occasional left turn—all connected by that particular electricity that makes a great blues record impossible to sit still through.

From Carolyn Wonderland and Samantha Fish to Ike Turner and Hubert Sumlin, to Amani Burnham and Jimi Hendrix, the past keeps colliding with the present. Along the way: St. Louis history, Memphis soul, Chicago grit, Mississippi heat, and plenty of trouble.

Turn it up. Something here is bound to grab you.
