Pre-recorded today because we’re off at the 40th Winnipeg Folk Festival! It was important to put together a show today, however, to expose the truth behind yet more Stu Reid lies, including the announcement of a July 22 Winnipeg show with Mary Gauthier, Scott Nolan, and Joanna Miller, and the truth behind Danny Michel’s real first appearance at The Winnipeg Folk Fest. New music! Mail Bag! More!

Today it’s a star-studded tribute to the great dads out there, on Father’s Day.

Today a long overdue in-studio visit by former Winnipegger, Matt Epp. He’s been on quite a roll the past few years with his Amorian Assembly, and their new album is a winner. Good to have him in to chat all about it. As usual, we’ve got all of the new music and classics you could shake a stick at, if you were to shake a stick at music. (That’s pretty weird, but if you’re so inclined, go for it.)
