Ah, the May long weekend is upon us at last. The weather’s ruining the party a bit, but hey, at least it’s not snow! We’ve got some great tunes to start the summer off right. First up some great new music before settling in to preview a couple of exciting shows this week, as well as some upcoming house concerts, real and imaginary. To end off the show, a tribute to a legendary cornerstone of the Canadian folk/roots community. Why? Because.
