    These days, the blues seem more relevant than ever. Enter The Reverend Shawn Amos, an Angeleno singer-songwriter who plays covers of Prince, Howlin' Wolf and everything in between in his kitchen and at restaurants around town. He releases a new performance on his YouTube channel, Kitchen Table Blues, at 7am every Sunday. Amos shares childhood memories working for his dad's cookie company, Famous Amos, and tells us what moved him to throw music into the mix.

    Music: "The Jean Genie" & "Let's Go Crazy" and "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" both by the Reverend Shawn Amos
