Jaine and Carter are along today to co-host and keep us company, which is always appreciated. We’ve got new music, a look ahead at Gimli’s Alternative Folk Festival, The Trout Forest Music Festival, and a chat with a guy who will be at the Trout and in Winnipeg next Thursday, Gordie Tentrees.

We’re deep in the thick of festival season (our favourite season), and next weekend marks an unpleasant apex, when 3 of our favourites, Edmonton, Regina, and Trout Forest take place on the same weekend. It’s tough to choose from among your favourites, so today on the show we’ll lay out the highlights of the two closest (and the ones not sold out) in hopes of reaching a decision. Today is also the day for the Gimli Alternative Folk Festival, and that’s always worth a drive, so a few highlights from that one as well.

A few notes about Jeremy, in case you’re not familiar:
Check out Jeremy’s wonderful music and inspired videos: http://jeremymessersmith.com/#media
This one’s my favourite:
I often get credit for the great music on the show, but the reality is, a lot of the best tips come from listeners. Such is the case with Jeremy Messersmith, who was introduced to me by listener Tonya, when she lived near Minneapolis. Messersmith is based in the area, and is a darling of the great radio station The Current. Once I heard this guy’s music, I was hooked, and I know that you will be also.
He’s got a knack for irresistable pop hooks and some wonderful production on his albums, but at the core, he’s a singer/songwriter with a keen eye, a delicate heart, and a way with words – just the way we like ’em. His albums just keep getting better, and his star just keeps rising. In the Minneapolis area, he can fill huge rooms (like First Avenue) and take part in huge bills (such as the show at the Minnesota State Fair, where he’s co-billed along with The Jayhawks and a rare and eagerly anticipated reunion of Semisonic), but he’s about to embark on an intimate tour of house concerts/pot luck dinners, called The Supper Club Tour.
We always encourage folks to bring food and make a meal of it, but this time, Jeremy is upping the pressure. He’s asking folks to bring their favourite family dish to share. Sure, we understand if you can’t/won’t, and we won’t kick you out if you don’t bring the Corning Ware, but we really hope you’ll take us up on the idea this time.
New for this show is the online advance ticket sales. All tickets are supposed to be purchased online, in advance. If that isn’t possible for you, please drop us a line below and we’ll negotiate, but it would make things much easier (and less stressful) if you’d do your part and buy a ticket online. It’s cheap, easy, and much appreciated:

Today we’re joined by singer/songwriter/fringe festival performer Corin Raymond, who’s touring his new one-man show, Bookworm, and preparing for his upcoming album “Paper Nickels” which is made up of songs by great under-appreciated Canadian writers, and is being funded with Canadian Tire money! Along to help out with the hosting duties is a big fan of Corin’s and all kinds of great music, and a very knowledgeable and great guy, Oly Backstrom.

A folk music miracle has occurred, as someone, somewhere found some new, unreleased live recordings of the late great Willie P Bennett, and managed to sneak some copies out into the world. We love folks like that, and it’s our great pleasure and duty to spin it for you, as well as some other Willie songs by other great people. We’ve also got a bit of a tribute to Steve Goodman, we’ve got tickets to giveaway and much more!
I’ve been a Shannon Lyon fan since I first heard his album Wandered almost a decade ago. Since then, he’s written some of my favourite songs in the world. They’re gritty, dark, often sad, sometimes beautiful and celebratory, always amazing. So it was with great excitement that I put together plans to bring him to Winnipeg for a couple of shows.
Well, things don’t always go as planned. One show got cancelled, and the other got moved at the last minute. There was some scrambling to rearrange the show date, and unfortunately that meant that some folks couldn’t make the show. We also knew that some other friends wouldn’t be able to make the show, because they’re a little too far away.
And so, in an attempt to make all those who missed out feel like they were there, and to have a permanent record of what turned out to be an amazing night for all in attendance, I wanted to record a bunch of the show.
With that in mind, I present the following video and audio of the show. None of the recordings are particularly spectacular. I thought I had all bases covered by using two audio recorders, but both ended up with some problems – one was too distorted and the other (which you’ll find here) has some noise (I think Carter was kicking the table that the recorder was sitting on). Oh well, it’s not meant to be a proper live album or a totally accurate reflection of Shannon’s amazing talent.
For those, I highly encourage you to look up his official sites:
http://shannonlyonmusic.com/
http://shannonlyon.bandcamp.com/ – at this site, you can download a lot of Shannon’s work over the years. Most people download it for free. Good people make a donation in return. Be a good person, eh.

Apparently, there were a couple of great songs left over for an encore, but our crowd was a little too polite, and I was a little too quick to jump up and signal that the show was over. For that, I am eternally regretful. Oh well, we’ll do better next time.
We’ve got some great shows coming up around town this week, so some previews are in order. Today would have been the late great Paul Quarrington’s birthday, so a tribute is also in order.
