Nathan James and Ben Hernandez Bring American Roots Music to These Days

Local musicians Nathan James and Ben Hernandez performed in the KPBS studios yesterday, filling it with old time blues and American roots music. The duo showed serious musical chops, with original tunes conjured from guitar, harmonica, suitcases, jugs, washboards, a washtub bass. Stick around Culture Lust a bit and watch these two unlikely blues musicians... you'll be a convert in no time...

Check out Nathan and Ben's site for performance dates and information on their new album Hollerin. They play a lot around town, so you can definitely catch them. You can hear the full interview with These Days' Tom Fudge here.

Oh, and here are some YouTube videos of Nathan and Ben... but there's no reason to watch those until you're done with ours... I mean, we have amazing jug footage!
