Interview: Tom Around the World benefit

Ore Dock Brewing CO.

The Marquette Area Blues Society and the Ore Dock Brewing Co. are teaming up to put on a benefit for local blues writer and champion Tom Hyslop. The blues society's Walt Lindala spoke with Public Radio 90's Hans Ahlstrom about the event.

The event is Friday, September 27th at the Ore Dock Brewing Co. Doors open at 6pm with music starting at 7 with Marquette's own Flat Broke Blues Band. At 8:30, it's Felix Reyes & Paul Linden from Chicago. Then at 10pm, Johnny Burgin (aka Rockin' Johnny) takes the stage, and the evening concludes with Devil's Elbow from St. Louis. 

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
