We like to mix things up on this show, and today we did both, with a bunch of very happy news and music, and some sad & bitter songs. Perfect. The first part of the show was a celebration of new music, new discoveries, concert news, and even a birthday tribute to a fine Canadian songwriter (now politician), Andrew Cash. Later in the show, we delved into the joys of sad, bitter, and miserable breakup songs! Why not?

We took a trip back in time today with a whole bunch of classic songwriters’ songwriters. We played a game of Singer/Songwriter, where we heard some writers who are famous for their covers of their material, more than their own, as well as some famous folks who we love, covering classics by others. In the end, this show was heavy on the classic country, just the way listener Barb likes it. We’ve also got memories of concerts past, and exciting shows to look forward to.

We’ve been pretty preoccupied lately with looking back at 2011, now it’s time to look forward to 2012. We talked about some of the exciting albums and shows we’re looking forward to, including one of the biggest and best shows, which goes down Saturday at the West End, when Ridley Bent is joined by Nathan and various special guests. Ridley and his guitarist, Chris Dunn, were our special guests this week, as they dropped by to chat and play some new songs.

For full details, surf on over to the previous sales pitch.

If I hadn’t convinced you already, hopefully these gorgeous show posters will do the trick – definitely our finest advertisement yet, and we wouldn’t put this out there unless the show was going to be high class, all the way. Hope you can join us!
