Today’s show is pre-recorded, because John Wort Hannam is playing at The Sunset Saloon! He hasn’t been back to Winnipeg since 2010, when he dropped by the studio with his trio to chat and play some of his great songs. Today we look back at that visit and replay that great session. At the time, John Wort Hannam was touring with Austin singer/songwriter Danny Schmidt, so we’ll take a trip back to that one as well. Along with the old, we’ve got some current upcoming shows to preview.

February 15 marks the sad anniversary of the death of one of Canada’s greatest songwriters, Willie P Bennett. With his recordings still tragically held up and unavailable for release or sale, it’s become one of my missions in life to keep as much of Willie’s music on the airwaves as possible, and today is a great chance to play a bunch of his amazing songs.
