Episode 34 – September 7, 2025Guest: Jim Murry of Skip Towne and the Greyhounds
This week on The Bus Stop Blues, Road Bill takes the wheel alongside the better late than never, Mr. Kevin “Shoeshine” Purcell. And what a trip we’ve got lined up!
Our featured guest is none other than Jim Murry, the powerhouse drummer and vocalist of Skip Towne and the Greyhounds. For decades, Jim has been the driving force behind one of the Midwest’s most celebrated blues and R&B bands, blending groove, grit, and soul into every performance. He joins us to share his stories from the stage, life on the road, and the music that keeps him moving.
And that’s not all—actor/musician/friend of the show Axle Ellis has a brand-new Amazon Prime series The Runarounds, a coming-of-age drama about a high school band chasing big dreams (not far off from Ax’s own journey with Hatchetmen).
So punch your ticket, find your seat, and ride along for another night of great stories, hard-driving blues, and soulful grooves on The Bus Stop Blues!
