Just when you think winter is long gone, you wake up and it’s grey and snowy outside. It’s been a long week for me, and that was just enough to make me want to stay in bed. So, this week, we go back Under the Covers for some of our favourite cover songs. This week was almost all covers, some new, some neat, some downright weird.

It’s Mom’s day and we’ve got a lot to celebrate as always. For Jaine, Lucy, and all of the mothers out there, we just had to play a few songs in their honour. Hour two was full of songs dedicated to moms and some that mom should love.

Hour 1 was devoted to nostalgia (with the announcement of an upcoming Mike Plume Band show!), and some fabulous new music from the likes of Langhorne Slim, Eliza Gilkyson, and Elliott BROOD!

We started off with a look back at last night’s amazing Romi Mayes/Dustin Bentall show, and ended off with a look forward to Thursday’s Scott Nolan/C.R. Avery show. In between, we took a listen to some classics that haven’t been heard on the show for a while, but are worthy of a listen every once in a while.

One just for fun today. My family and I went to the Teddy Bear Picnic (always a good time for the kids) and then headed down to UMFM. So, you get to hear me goof around with the always entertaining and talented Carter & Elysha, who provided some great jokes & riddles for the listeners to answer.
