Tonight we get our annual visit from Devin Latimer, Artistic Director of the best little festival in Canada, The Trout Forest Music Festival. He drops in with some new tunes and some details on what to expect this year in Ear Falls.

Ooops, in all of our summer haste/revelry, this podcast didn’t get posted when it should have…
Today we wish all of our American friends & listeners a happy Fourth of July, with a set of patriotic tunes by, for, and about the U.S.A. Closer to home (and our hearts), we’re only a week away from the Winnipeg Folk Festival, so it’s time for Part 2 of the OFFICIAL Winnipeg Folk Festival preview.
We’ve confirmed our next guest at Sunset Saloon, and boy is it an exciting show!

And, as if that weren’t enough of a draw, Jaine has already started thinking about the next amazing, exclusive, limited-edition flavour of Ben & Jeremy’s Ice Cream. Everyone who had a taste of “Christina Maraschino” at our last house show was blown away. We could have sold gallons of it, but instead, it’s available for consumption the night of the show ONLY. We’ll take what we learned from the last batch and make it even better this time around. DON’T MISS OUT!!!

The Yellow Dog Tavern (386 Donald St.)
featuring a variety of musical guests
We haven’t confirmed the lineup entirely, yet, but it looks like we should have Chris Neufeld and/or The Other Brothers, Keri Latimer (and/or Nathan?), Mike Petkau (and/or Les Jupes?), and hopefully a few tunes from Darren (I don’t think it’ll take much to convince him to jump onto a stage in front of a room full of people who love him, do you?) We’ll tell you more about the particulars, but really, it shouldn’t matter. Get down there and wish the best to a guy who really deserves it.
We here at the show have been big fans of Shannon McNally for a number of years now. We’ve followed her through a few phases of her career and a bunch of great albums. After a few different labels over the years, she’s gone back to the indie route, and we’re all for that. Shannon’s joining the fan-funded movement for her next album, and we here at Tell the Band to Go Home are more than happy to contribute.

She’s got a new song up there already, and unlike those Damnwells, we know when we’re going to get this disc!

Today, we’re pre-recorded because I’m off riding in the MS Bike Tour, which sees me and a whole bunch of fit people ride from Stonewall to Gimli, and back again. So how does an overweight, out of shape, nerd like myself manage such a task? Why, with the right music, of course! Today, we take a listen to some of the songs in my “Motivators” playlist, which definitely rocks a little harder than we’re used to on a Sunday afternoon.
Plus, you’ve heard all those dog songs, even our pal Stu’s cat songs, but how about monkey songs! That’s right, in honour of one of the few words that Jeremy can actually say pretty clearly, he sits in on the show and plays a whole set of songs about his favourite animal (we think), monkeys!
