Episode 12 – “Main Street Mojo” | Guests: Paul & Tammy from MSO (Main Street Outfitters)
Aired: April 6, 2025

Hop on the big blues bus for a ride like no other! This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill and Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell welcome Paul and Tammy, the dynamic duo behind Main Street Outfitters (MSO) in Wauconda, IL—a bike shop turned bluesy juke joint that’s redefining local culture. It’s the first time we’ve featured a non-musician guest... and our first-ever duo interview!

We dive into:

• The roots and rise of MSO as both a bike haven and music venue

• Tales from the road with Paul and Tammy

• Conversations about passion, community, and building a blues-fueled lifestyle

Plus, Road Bill and Kevin swap some new road stories, drop deep blues insights, and keep the vibe alive with laughs, history, and soulful grooves.
