KGNU’s DJ Steve Cser sits down with longtime Boulder blues musician Paul Soderman for an in-depth conversation about his decades-long journey through music, community, and the Colorado blues scene. Soderman reflects on arriving in Boulder in 1988, the open stages and blues jams that shaped his career, and formative experiences working with the Monterey Jazz and Blues Festivals, where he learned directly from legends like B.B. King, Etta James, John Lee Hooker, and Charlie Musselwhite. The interview weaves together personal stories, reflections on the healing power of blues music, and memories of Boulder’s organic music spaces—including the influential Outlook Hotel era. Soderman also shares music from past projects, discusses his ongoing work at Roots Music Project, and highlights the importance of supporting local musicians and community-driven spaces (November 28, 2025).
