The Ecclectricty of Pacific Street Blues and Americana weaves together a divergent mix of old and new blues against a texture of Americana roots and the rock bands you either grew up with...or wish you had. Pacific St. Blues and Americana is a highly knowledgeable, Omaha-centric, radio show for those that hold a lust in their hearts to hear new music that is anchored in the love and lore from the blues to those halcyon music daze gone by. 

In 2010 PSB&A received a prestigious Keeping the Blues Alive award and has, over its 31 years of radio broadcasting, culled an extensive international and domestic audience. ...If you like your blues straight-up, this may or may not work for you...and that's okay. It's only music. Stay in touch at www.facebook.com/PSBlues.
