Brigitte Purdy, Our Favorite West Coast Blues Artist Live In Studio!

Los Angeles Blues singer/songwriter BRIGITTE PURDY stopped in-studio this past week while in town for the big Chicago Blues Fest. Tom talked to Brigitte about her career experiences as a back-up singer for various music legends like The Who, Paul Rodgers and others, along with her own solo musical career.

Some of Brigitte's brand new music will be spotlighted during this week's program. Purdy is a savvy radio guest, because she is also the host of a West Coast blues radio program "Ms. Purdy's Traveling Blues Show" and a celebrity interview podcast, "Purdy Amazing People." She will chat about that side of her career as well.
