I love Winnipeg’s music scene, but I’ve never been as excited about a new Winnipeg artist as I am these days about Del Barber. His new record is one of this year’s finest, his live shows are second to none, and he’s a heck of a swell guy, to boot. I’m super excited to welcome him on to the show today.

After that, it almost doesn’t matter, but there are some great shows coming up in Winnipeg, including The Bottle & The Truth, Joshua Cockerill, Tom Petty, and I’m headed off to Minneapolis to check out The Jayhawks!

Steel Belted Radio – May 27, 2010

The three minds that make up the Steel Belted team don’t always agree (obviously), but if there’s one thing we agree on, it’s that The Damnwells are one of the greatest bands on Earth. Tonight, a very special treat, as we chat live with Alex Dezen, the leader of that amazing band.

We’re joined by special co-host “Tony” today, which always makes things a little more fun. We play a musical game of connect-the-dots, hear some brilliant new music from Del Barber, some summer songs, a whole bunch of NQ Arbuckle (and related) music, and more!

It’s Mother’s Day, and there’s nobody more worthy of a tribute, and so be it. We also send some musical love down to flooded Music City. We also had the usual mix of great new releases, upcoming shows you should care about, and some classics.
