Steel Belted Radio – June 7, 2012

Word came down recently that one of our favourite places to hear live music, The Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club is facing an uncertain future. That hits us right in the heart, so we started off with just a few of the many songs immortalizing that hallowed stage. On a happier note, we’ve got plenty of new music, upcoming shows, concert news, and all around good times.

Tonight we’re super-excited to present the world broadcast premiere of Christina Martin’s dynamite new CD, “Sleeping with a Stranger.” We’ll get Christina on the phone to chat all about it and spin a few of our early favourites from a super-solid recording. As if that weren’t enough, we’re excited about the local debut of Deer Tick, and we’ve got a big preview and tickets to give away for that show. We’ve also got some great new music.
