CRUNCH Blues N Roots - Salty Dog (July 2025)

Visit: On CRUNCH, we’re dialling in the distortion, kicking up the soul, and easing back into some American slow-burners. From Ian Siegal N Johnny Mastro’s swamp-fired 'Balling The Jack' to Sweet Talk’s full-tilt psych-blues rattle 'Have I Gone F&n Crazy?', this episode swings hard and lands smooth. We spotlight a stellar crew of Australian artists: Sweet Talk, Gwyn Ashton, Checkerboard Lounge N Bob Sedergreen, Hamish Anderson, Brad Palmer, Laurel and the Painkillers, The Blow Out, and Jimmy Dowling — each delivering grit, soul, and something unmistakably downunder. It’s a vibrant cross-section of Australia's deep blues and indie roots scene. Threaded through the mix are laid-back American gems from Ray Bonneville, Lucy Kaplansky, Mia Kelly, and more — subtle, soulful and dusted in storytelling gold.
