Lots of exciting stuff coming up on the show today!

We’ll chat with James Murdoch, who’s headed to Winnipeg for a show with Jay Sparrow at The Sunset Saloon. These guys have been working hard on the road playing their fine album “Dominion Day,” and they’re finally headed home with one more stop. There will surely be stories from the road and we’ll learn more about how two songwriters with strong pop leanings came together to record a roots-rockin’ concept album.

Also, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings are rolling their Kings & Queens tour into town tonight, and since we love visiting with all of those guys, we’ll get one on the phone to tell us all about it! Looks like we’ll get one of our favourites and a regular guest on the show, Stephen Fearing on the line. He’s got a new album coming out in the new year and many different projects on the go, so we’ll surely find lots to talk about.

And, we’ve got new music coming at us from every direction with exciting new releases from Barney Bentall, Ron Hawkins & The Do Good Assassins, Paul Kelly, Andy Shauf, and a whole lot more!

That’s all today, November 18, 2-4 pm central on 101.5 UMFM, www.umfm.com!
