Hamilton is Home to House of Blues Radio Network

" I couldn't find a great Blues station...so I started my own," said Trickbag bassist Michael Hickey on his Facebook page. The result was the incredible WHOB (The House of Blues Radio Network), an online destination that plays classic, modern, and local Blues music.

According to Michael, the online station started out as just a bit of fun but once the audience grew, he decided to add Live shows on Wednesday and Saturday.

"Our dedicated DJs and WHOB Research Staff search the world over for the finest in Blues music and bring it to you 24/7 " it says on the stations web site.

So if you're on the 'Net and need a musical pick me up, check it out.
