Steel Belted Radio – Feb. 9, 2012

Tonight we’ve got a tip o’ the hat to our friends at CKUW in honour of their upcoming FunDrive, a last bit of encouragement to come see Christina Martin, a listen to the talented Kelly family, and a birthday tribute to one of our longest running, most devoted, most enthusiastic listeners of all, Allison Green!

Episode #430 Sunday, February 12, 2012

Today we’re joined by a couple of very special guests, as Christina Martin and Dale Murray drop in to chat, play some songs, and even program the second half of the show. Plus, we get to be the first to play Dale’s exceptional new album, Dream Mountain Dream. This was indeed, one come true.

The Wooden Sky AND Sunparlour Players? Are you kiddin’ me?

Sometimes a show is just too amazing to miss. Coming up is one of those. On March 29, our friends at the West End Cultural Centre are hosting what promises to be one of the best shows of the year, and surely one of the best double-bill shows we’ve seen in a while. Sunparlour Players and The Wooden Sky. Both have appeared live on Tell the Band to Go Home, and both are vying for top spot in our totally subjective, totally unscientific “Best Band in the Land” contest.

Best of all, tickets are stupid cheap. Get yours. Now.

It’s a wild ride today, with really new music, really old music, a seemingly random tribute to Paul Kelly, and a deliberate tribute to Bob Marley, who would have celebrated his 67th birthday tomorrow.

Steel Belted Radio – Feb. 2, 2012

It’s Arbuckle eve, as NQ Arbuckle returns to town tomorrow. We also chat with Christina Martin who returns for another house concert on Feb. 11. And we may not be the biggest Bob Dylan fans, but the new Amnesty International compilation has plenty to love, so a few songs from his Bobness to end things off.
