King's Bluesville" heard over Sirius XM. The Los Angeles-based Widow reguarly performs as Dave Widow & The Lineup with some of the best musicians in the business, and is a past "Musical Group of the Year" nominee (2012 L.A. Music Awards).

   "Waiting For The World To End" was recently part of a high-profile Spring KKJZ 88.1 FM Pledge Drive that featured an Apple I-Pod Shuffle/2-G loaded with the albums of eight area Indie Blues artists, given to those who made a $200.00 pledge to the Long Beach station. Widow's music is reguarly played on the station's long-running show, "Nothin' But The Blues" hosted by longtime SoCal air personality, Gary "Wagman" Wagner.
