Saturday Night Blues
with Holger Petersen

Come on over to the new site

Since the launch of cbcmusic.ca we have slowly been building up our Saturday Night Blues content on the new website.

It has been a strategic transition based on generating new content that welcomes the uninitiated to the world of blues music.

Over the next few months we will also focus on moving some of the archive SNB material to cbcmusic.ca/snb.  You will soon be able to go there to once again enjoy some of our exclusive interviews with folks like Bill Wyman, Mick Fleetwood, Ry Cooder and more.

And of course we have two non-stop streams of the best blues music in the world, to listen to at home, at the office, at your weekend bar-b-que party or any time of the day or night.

Come on over and enjoy the new SNB site, register to be a member of the community if you like and soak up the blues.

About The Show


About the Show

Since 1986 Saturday Night Blues has been CBC's flagship program of great blues, swing, boogie, gospel, and roots music with Holger Petersen at the helm.

SNB is everything a good radio program should be. Entertaining, informative, casual, and for a Saturday night, its where the party is. We offer exclusive interviews, concerts and live in-studio performances.

The Blues can be found equally in music created today or a hundred years ago. It is in gospel, swing, boogie woogie, roots, pop, jazz and even classical every now and then. From the Mississippi Delta to the Yukon, from Vancouver Island to Great Britain to Japan, it is a global phenomenon with universal appeal.
