Welcome to the King Biscuit Time web site. King Biscuit is the first name in blues. The King Biscuit Time radio show was founded in 1941 with the first ever live broadcast of blues music and the daily programming of Sonny Boy Williamson, Pinetop Perkins, Robert Lockwood Jr. and other blues legends throughout the delta. The program is still broadcast each weekday on KFFA in Helena, Arkansas. With more than 14,000 broadcasts, King Biscuit Time has had an influence on several generations of blues, rock, and pop trend setters.

Our sister publication, the King Biscuit Time magazine, takes this rich blues legacy to many of the finest blues festivals around the country, presenting in depth reporting of the events, the artists, and venues that keep America’s roots music alive and vibrant. You’ll want to check in with us regularly for the pulse of the sound that has defined America’s rich cultural heritage.
