For quite some time now, UMFM has been undergoing some much-needed renovations. It was time to get rid of the old gear from 1972 and leap into the modern age. Our studios got a much needed makeover, and we’ve added some nifty new features.
Now, we’d love to show you the results! Starting Sunday, June 5, 2011, UMFM is hosting its first Open House event, where you are invited to come down and take a tour of the place where all of t…he magic happens. You’ll get to meet your favourite show hosts and see how we put the shows together.
And, since it kicks off on a Sunday, Tell the Band to Go Home will get things going in grand style. We can’t give away all of our secrets yet (mostly because they haven’t been confirmed), but we’re working on having some great prizes, super snacks, and talented special guests!
We couldn’t do it without you! Plan to come on down and say hi and take it all in. You can even bring in your own requests, dedications, or whatever you think the show is missing. You’re more than welcome to play a song, say hi to your mom, or just tell me how great I am on-air. I’m serious about most of that.
Mark it on your calendar and get on down to the UMFM open house, starting June 5! Check back here for updates on special guests appearing, prize lists, tempting treats, and more. As we confirm them, we’ll post it here first!
email us if you have questions, requests, suggestions, want to plan part of the show, or just want to come down: tellthebandtogohome at gmail dot com

We’re looking forward to the next exciting Sunset Saloon show, featuring Chris Carmichael. In a music scene bursting with world-class talent, Chris Carmichael is surely one of WInnipeg’s most valuable players. His drumming, vocals, and badass guitar have been featured alongside a who’s-who of local and Canadian talent. His 2009 self-titled CD established him as a formidable solo artist in his own right, with a warm, simmering sound steeped in classic blues and rock, but all original. Catch this rare opportunity to see this legend-in-the-making up close and personal.
Tell the Band to Go Home is proud to present this rare, amazing opportunity to see this great musician in the comfort of my living room. Even if you don’t know us (yet), you’re more than welcome to come on over. All you need to do is email me tellthebandtogohome at gmail dot com to reserve your set or to get more details.
Check out Chris’ amazing music at SonicBids or Myspace or CDBaby or just come out to the show!
Hayes Carll dropped by the Winnipeg Folk Fest Music Store on Saturday to play a few songs and sign some CDs. Before Jeremy freaked out and I had to leave, I managed to capture Hayes doing the title track to his latest record, KMAG YOYO.

Every year we rave about the best little festival in Canada, held in Ear Falls, Ontario. You can’t find a more intimate, enjoyable, relaxing festival ANYWHERE. This year’s lineup is taking shape, and it’s already looking good. Among other favourites:
Matt Epp
Deep Dark Woods
Bob Wiseman
Tannis Slimmon
Carolyn Mark
and…
NQ Arbuckle!
The last time Arbuckle & Mark played the festival, it was one of the most enjoyable, entertaining, amazing things I’ve ever seen (thank you Hayes Carll!). Yeah, sure, you can see ’em at Times Change(d) on the Thursday before the festival, but last time, the Trout shows were WAY more entertaining and interesting, and tons more fun. Did Arbuckle do any covers of Lucero, Drive-By Truckers, or Guy Clark at Times? NO! But he did at Trout. Be there and see.
Hopefully we’ll convince our pal and Troutfest Artistic Director, Devin Latimer to stop by this summer. In the meantime, check out the website, mark it on your calendar, and make your plans!
We kick things off with a birthday tribute to our namesake, Paul MacLeod, which prompted him to give us a call and chat for the first time in a long, long time. We also played some tunes in honour of ol’ Bobby Dylan’s upcoming B-Day. Surprisingly, he didn’t call us. Oh well. We heard some new music, some timely music, and all kinds of other great stuff!

Well, we’ve learned that the end of the world is near, so we’re trying to go out on a high note. We’ve got some songs about the end to ease the blow, and some great new music that must be heard before we all die. We also look ahead to the (alleged) last show we’ll ever see, featuring Sharon Jones on Friday.
The great new music just keeps rolling in – gotta love spring. We’ve got plenty to be excited about this week. We also look back on the latest StuDome concert and look ahead to some great upcoming shows this week. And, for reasons not entirely clear, we pay tribute to The Replacements. Why not?
