2/01/26 - W/ Special Guest: Bob Carlson from The Sundance Saloon

Hosts: Kevin Purcell & Road Bill 

 

This week on The Bus Stop Blues, we welcome Bob Carlson, owner of the legendary Sundance Saloon in Mundelein, Illinois. Bob joins the show to talk about building a true home for live music, the realities of running a music-first venue, and the vital role local clubs play in keeping the blues and roots scenes alive.

From stories behind the bar to nights when the room caught fire with sound, Bob shares what it takes to keep guitars loud, dance floors moving, and musicians coming back. The conversation is backed by a rock-solid soundtrack featuring Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, Chicago, Van Halen, The Eagles, Billy Joel, James Leg, and Howard and the White Boys.

Pull up a chair, settle in, and enjoy an episode dedicated to the people who keep the lights on and the music playing. Another great ride rolls through The Bus Stop Blues.
