Episode #1003

The big news this week is the Winnipeg return of one of the greatest live bands I’ve ever seen, the original Mike Plume Band! In the late 90s/early 200s, Mike and this band toured relentlessly and along the way, crafted some of the greatest Canadian albums of all time. They get together every once in a while, but haven’t played in Winnipeg for over 20 years, so it’s kind of a big deal that they’ll be back in the cozy confines of Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club on Tuesday. To prove the point, get you ready, and hopefully win over a few more folks, I present the official Mike Plume Band Primer, where I dive into three outstanding albums that the band made. If these tunes don’t convince you, I’m not sure what would. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mike-plume-band-tickets-585979058137

In addition, we’ve got some timely tunes, an overdue tribute to Robbie Robertson, and a pile of old classics!

Episode #1001

To commemorate the 1000th episode of the program, I present the recording of a live event that we put on in October of last year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the show. We recorded a live version of Tell the Band to Go Home at The Park Theatre with special guests Keri Latimer, Nicky Mehta (The Wailin’ Jennys), and JP Hoe, three longtime friends and favourites. I had a conversation with each, then they played some of their songs. As usual, we also heard some new music and talked about some exciting upcoming events.
