The International Blues Express members speak the global language of music with dialects ranging from Creole to Malian folk. Hypnotic rhythms drive this set. Interesting background details about songs such as "Hanna" dedicated to the first born in a Malian family in Sidi's tribe shared prior to the performance. The music of this group has traveled far and wide, passed down through generations and is very much alive with the International Blues Express.

Lori’s love for public broadcasting runs deep. She was raised on Car Talk, Morning Edition, Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas, and later while studying wildlife biology at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, she realized that if she helped answer phones during the fund drive at KMUW, she could meet and chat with the hosts of locally produced shows.
