David Michaels has loved hearing Blues music going back to the days of listening to Live bands at the Castaway Club in Berkeley, Missouri in the late 60's and early 70's.

He is a member of the St. Louis Blues Society and became a member of The National Blues Museum in 2016. He has been in St. Louis radio since 1994 spinning music to the masses on different radio stations. One of the stations was ending a Blues Music show and the Operations Manager told him that he could have the music as they would never again have a Blues show on the station.

David has a radio station's Blues library in his home office and has plenty of music to share with the listeners that he hopes you will enjoy listening every Monday night.

Tune in to the ROOTS.FM every Friday night at 6:00pm (Central) for the Friday Night HAPPY HOUR!
