The Fred Eaglesmith “Will He or Won’t He” Show

Listeners to this show know that one of my favourite singer/songwriters of all time is undoubtedly Fred J Eaglesmith. And he’s a fascinating guy, too. So I’ve always wanted to have a long talk with him and get him on the show. Well, for one reason or another, whenever I’ve tried to connect with Fred in the past, it hasn’t happened. This time, he was in Winnipeg on a Sunday, so I wasn’t about to let him get away so easily. I thought I had it all lined up. But, did he or didn’t he show?

Also on the program was a special live in-studio visit by American singer/songwriter Josh Ritter. He’s currently on tour with Sarah Harmer, and he was nice enough to stop by the studio to talk, perform live, and play some songs from his great new album “Hello Starling.”

For the most part, the same show that you know and love (I hope); new releases, upcoming shows, the best shows of the past week, etc.

In the last half hour, however, one more valiant attempt at converting a whole new crop of Rheostatics nerds. Can’t wait to see that band again, October 30 at The West End. Of course, some small-minded folks can’t wait ’til then because it means I’ll stop playing so much Rheostatics on the show. Small minds probably don’t deserve to be enlightened, but I try!

Whenever there’s an artist that I’m a fan of in Winnipeg on a Sunday, I do everything I can to get them live in the studio. And I must say, I’ve been pretty darn successful in the past. Past guests include Stephen Fearing, Eric Bogle, Luke Doucet, and a whole lot more. Of course, not everybody is in town on a Sunday and not everyone can make it down to the studio, so I often line up phone interviews as well.

But sometimes… artists, no matter how good my instructions and no matter how much they promise to be there, sometimes… well… sometimes they just don’t call or show up. It’s a part of life. Usually there’s a good excuse. Sometimes, however, the artist just forgets, screws up the time, needs dental work, or just plain doesn’t feel like talking to me. I can’t blame ’em, really.

And nobody has been a no-show more times than Fred Eaglesmith. I don’t know what it is, but Fred and I just can’t seem to connect. In 2002, I went for weeks at a time trying to talk to Fred. WEEKS! Every week, his wonderful publicist would tell me “he’ll be there this time.” Every week I had numbers where I could contact Fred if he didn’t call (I’ve heard his answering machine message many, many times. I’ve also spoken to band-members, ex-wives, children, publicists, etc…) but no matter what the situation, no Fred. (I should mention that I did FINALLY get to speak to Fred (briefly) on December 23, 2002, but he phoned almost two hours late, with only a few minutes left in my show, from a pay phone in Port Dover. It was Christmas, so I forgave him.)

If you’ve been a listener for a while, you may remember “The Fred Eaglesmith Clause,” which I used to enact whenever I had an interview scheduled. It said that although I’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that the interview will happen, I will not be held responsible for musicians who fail to call or show up for whatever reason. It ain’t my fault, folks.

Now, I LOVE Fred. I really do. Look back at my playlists. I play his music every week. I’ve written articles about him, and I go see him whenever he’s anywhere near here. Just this week, I’m going to see him in Clearwater Manitoba at The Harvest Moon Festival on October 2, The West End Cultural Centre on October 3, and at The Gimli Rec Centre in Gimli, Manitoba on October 9. And I’m excited to see Fred that many times. I’m a Fredhead, and I’m fine with that.

Well, this Sunday, Fred will be in Winnipeg. For weeks, I’ve been working on getting him in the studio, and I thought I had it all lined up. All of the Ts were dotted and the Is were crossed (or something like that), or so I thought. Well, I have reason to doubt that old Fred isn’t going to make it. But there’s always hope, brothers and sisters. So, with that hope (but a strong sense of reality) in mind, I proudly present:

The Fred Eaglesmith “Will He or Won’t He” Show

We’ll hear classic Fred. New Fred. Fred tributes. Fred covers. Fred co-writes. Past Fred interviews.

And maybe, just maybe, if we’re really good Fredheads, we’ll hear from the man himself.

Will he be live in the studio?
Will he call?

Will I have to hear his answering machine message again?

Tune in this Sunday, October 3, 2-5 pm central to find out.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. For years now, I’ve been dying to see Willie P Bennett perform live. We see him all the time as part of Fred’s band, but I’ve never heard him sing one of his own amazing songs live. Well, with him in Winnipeg, I just HAD to try and get him in the studio, also, so I could finally see him perform. I’m doing everything I can to make that happen. Tune in…

Also in town on that SAME NIGHT!

Sarah Harmer

Josh Ritter

I can’t make any promises about Fred, but it looks like we do have one very exciting special guest all lined up. Opening for Sarah Harmer on Sunday at Pantages Playhouse Theatre will be American singer/songwriter Josh Ritter. This guy is a pretty big deal in The States and Europe, but is just starting to get noticed in Canada.

His new album Hello Starling should go a long way toward introducing this talented musician in our country. It’s a wonderful collection of beautiful story songs. I can’t wait to hear more from this guy after hearing this album. And it looks like I’ll get my chance.

Live in-studio visit from Josh Ritter

Of course, we’ll try to coax some live performances out of him, also.

Why is it that in Winnipeg we can go for weeks at a time with nothing much going on, and then all of a sudden it’s non-stop action? Just when I’m back to school and actually have to be up in the morning and all of that, I’ve got two amazing shows, two days in a row that’ll keep me up late. I’m not complaining, believe me.

Monday, September 20 at Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club, I just have to go and see Geoff Berner, Carolyn Mark, and Ford Pier. That’s an amazing lineup, don’t you think? You’ve heard Geoff Berner on the show before, so I don’t have to tell you how great he is. Recently, I saw Carolyn Mark in concert for the first time and was blown away. She’s been called the most entertaining woman in Canada, and I will not argue. Onstage, she’s wild, wacky, exciting, interesting, sexy, and smart. This week, we’ll get to find out a bit more about her as Carolyn joins us live via the telephone. Once we’ve learned all there is to know about Carolyn, she’ll pass the phone over to her pal Ford Pier. You might have seen Ford as part of Martin Tielli’s backup band. He’s an accomplished songwriter and performer in his own right, and he’s got a great new album to introduce us to.

Tuesday, September 21 at the West End Cultural Centre, my old friend David Francey returns with Kieran Kane & Kevin Welch. I’ve been going on and on about this show for weeks, and for good reason. This is bound to be the most solid night of entertainment this year. With three amazing singer/songwriters being joined by virtuoso multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplan, this is bound to be a stellar night of music. We’ll catch up with David Francey via the telephone to talk about the new album and touring with those fine folks.

Music & conversation with Carolyn Mark, Ford Pier, and David Francey, this Sunday.

Plus, whatever new music we’ve got time for.

Should be a great show, hope you can tune in!

This week, I’m all giddy with glee about being the cool kid on the block with all of the hot new releases, most of ’em before anyone else. Sometimes being a radio weasel has its perks. But don’t worry, I’m not one of those mean kids who picks on others who are less fortunate; no, in fact I couldn’t wait to share these new releases with the listeners.

Last week we had hoped to hear from Kevin Welch to discuss his great new album with Kieran Kane and his work on the new David Francey CD, but it was not meant to be. This week, we got our act together and connected for a fascinating talk.

There’s a bountiful treasure of interviews waiting to behold, on this International Talk Like a Pirate Day, mateys.

First up, we set our sights on the good ship David Francey, who sails these seas on Tuesday with his good crew, Kevin Welch, Kieran Kane, and Fats Kaplan. That land lubber was wantin’ ta talk about his new CD, The Waking Hour, too. Well worth following a treasure map for.

Next, we spotted some scurvy dogs setting sail for Winnipeg’s muddy waters tomorrow night. Carolyn Mark & Ford Pier were aboard to wager a peace treaty. At ye old High & Lonesome Club, they’ll hitch their boat and unload a big chest o’ golden songs along with their crewmate Geoff Berner.

Recently, our crew pillaged a bounty of new music, including CDs from the likes of Mike Plume, Nathan Wiley, Luke Doucet, Chuck Prophet, and more. We’ll be crackin’ a big bottle o’ rum and sharin’ some chanteys from them salty dogs, too.

Well, blow me down! If that ain’t a richly rewarding sail on the good ship TTBTGH, methinks I’ll just have to walk the plank!

What’s this? Another pre-recorded show? Yup, this week I’m off in Brandon checking out their great folk festival and getting away from all of the things I have to do here. But, the show must go on, and I’ve got a lot planned for TTBTGH while I’m away.

I love telling you about upcoming and recent concerts in town, and there are a TON to discuss this week. Today’s special guest interview is with a guy who’s playing at the Collective on Wednesday, a rockin’ young singer/songwriter from Victoria named Leeroy Stagger. He’s an interesting guy and has a great CD to boot.

And, looking ahead to next week, what’s that on the horizon, another pre-record? Yup, next week I’m off to that hot vacation spot, Regina to see their great folk festival. I’ll tell you what’s in store in case you want to call the travel agent and meet me at the resort.

Don’t worry, I’ll do another live show, someday.

Well, just one more pre-recorded show for now, I promise. I’ll be back in the studio live next Sunday, but this Sunday I have another great excuse for missing the show, the Regina Folk Fest. I’ve told you all about how great the lineup is, so you’ll excuse me for not being here live this week, especially after you hear the show I’ve got planned out. It’s a good one. Lots of great music, of course.

One of our favourite bands around these parts is the mighty Nathan. They’ve got a brand new record coming out and it’s a fine one. The CD release party will be on August 26 at the West End. Looking forward to that, we’ll hear some brand new Nathan. In fact, we’ll go back in time to July 6, 2003, when Nathan was live in the studio playing some brand new songs and chatting and having fun. If you missed it the first time ’round, you’ll want to hear this. Even if you heard it, you’ll want to relive the memories. It was a great show, I know you’ll enjoy it.

We were expecting a call from Kevin Welch to discuss his fantastic new disc with Kieran Kane & Fats Kaplan and the upcoming collaboration with David Francey, but he was a no-show, so instead we just listened to a whole bunch of music from these amazing artists.

In hour 2, we heard stuff. Yeah, that’s right, stuff.

Pretaped. Part 2 of the second annual Tell the Band to Go Home Invitational Event. This week’s guests were Stu Reid, host of CKUW’s Twang Trust, and the new artistic director of the West End Cultural Centre, Dominic Lloyd. If anyone knows music, it’s these two guys, and they put your humble host to shame with their extensive knowledge this week. Good to have ‘em on the show, but glad they won’t be back for a while. They reveal me for the amateur that I really am, when they’re on the show.

Pretaped. Part of the second annual Tell the Band to Go Home Invitational Event, where I invite other local music fans to come and program the show. This year, there were twice as many weeks to pretape, so more guests and more fun. I always learn a lot by inviting new people to play songs on the show. Just when I think I know just about everything about singer/songwriters, I’m humbled by the talents of my guests.

This week, I was off with my co-hosts on Steel Belted Free Range Radio (www.steelbeltedradio.com) to see Steve Forbert at Hugh’s Room in Toronto. What a road trip.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, through the miracle of modern digital recording, I was joined on the show by Jenny Western, host of Hit the Big Wide Strum, Pal, CKUW 95.9 fm’s weekly bluegrass program. Judging by her appearance this week, she knows a heck of a lot more than just bluegrass.
