When most people think of American blues - they envision a solitary man, with a battered old guitar - waiting at the crossroad to claim his destiny of fame and fortune, but all that would come decades after the genre first became a hit.
What few people realize today - is that the first decade of blues music was dominated by women. Much of their music is irreverent, biting and vehemently feminist.
Their names are largely unknown today, but it’s past time they received their due - as the Founding Mothers of American Music.
We’ll tell you the whole amazing story of these remarkable women - on AEWorks Blues Alley – The Founding Mothers Podcast.

Blues music has been around for well over a hundred years. In the 21st century, we have the same relationship to W.C. Handy, that he had to Beethoven. It’s time to begin looking at the founders of blues as the American corollaries of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. The Blues Alley Podcast, is more than just the story of the founders. It’s also about the places and environment that they lived in, because art, literature, science, technology, even economics – all influence music and vice versa.The Blues Alley takes a look at all of these elements, and how they each contributed to the rise of American Music.It’s an inspiring story. One you won't believe, but one you will love.Stay Tuned ~
