Episode #1003
The big news this week is the Winnipeg return of one of the greatest live bands I’ve ever seen, the original Mike Plume Band! In the late 90s/early 200s, Mike and this band toured relentlessly and along the way, crafted some of the greatest Canadian albums of all time. They get together every once in a while, but haven’t played in Winnipeg for over 20 years, so it’s kind of a big deal that they’ll be back in the cozy confines of Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club on Tuesday. To prove the point, get you ready, and hopefully win over a few more folks, I present the official Mike Plume Band Primer, where I dive into three outstanding albums that the band made. If these tunes don’t convince you, I’m not sure what would. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/mike-plume-band-tickets-585979058137
In addition, we’ve got some timely tunes, an overdue tribute to Robbie Robertson, and a pile of old classics!
