Crossroads Chicago Radio is a return to the way radio should be presented. Before there were algorithms, advertisers clamoring for market share, corporate takeovers of commercial radio, pre-prescribed music formulated to the cause…there were talented people who had a finger on the pulse of what makes great music as well as what the audience wanted to hear.  And like the original intent of being able to adapt to the tastes of the audience using good old-fashioned “shit, grit, and mother-wit” (Petey Wheatstraw), Crossroads Chicago Radio has created the next generation of the way you should listen to music. There are no boundaries. There is a central idea of preserving all the music that has crossed paths in the history of Chicago and Midwestern music (hence the name, Crossroads Chicago), but there is also the next generation of independent artists that have a finger on what good ol’ American music sounds like.  It’s a big gumbo pot of old and new, with a good portion of the “roots” of where the music came from.  Blues, Jazz, Soul, Soul Jazz, Rock, Hispanic, Irish, Italian, German, Jewish…it all made its impact.  It’s Maxwell Street on a Sunday. It’s the Southside “Stroll” on a warm Chicago night. It’s an all you can eat Polish buffet that leaves you comatose. It’s Southside ribs vs. Westside Soul food.  It’s a porkchop sandwich with a bone in it.  It’s those memories of going to concerts when you were in high school with some random guy named Dave at the Aragon Ballroom where you still brag about who you saw there before they were big. And most importantly, it’s a celebration of one of the best radio markets in the country, Chicago! At one time every ethnicity found a home on the radio dial. In this revolution we are giving “all” a voice in one place.  And if that isn’t the American dream you are barking up the wrong tree Hoss!
