MAGNET Blues N Roots - Salty Dog (May 2026)

This week on the MAGNET Podcast we're rolling out a rich mix of blues, roots, Americana and soulful grooves from both sides of the Pacific. We've got fresh cuts from Lecia Louise, Kathleen Halloran, Karen Lee Andrews, Heavy Medicine and Jesse Valach N The Testaments flying the Australian flag, alongside legends and favourites including Robert Finley, Lucinda Williams, Gov't Mule, James McMurtry, John Mellencamp and The Derek Trucks Band. Bold Australian content, deep roots grooves and a few surprises along the way — just how we like it.
