Mudge and T-Bar hold down the fort this week, and we’ve got a whole bunch of great new music. Heck, even T-Bar’s set didn’t suck this week! Unfortunately, a technical malfunction leaves this podcast a little short, as the half hour was a live-only sensation.
Simon & Garfunkle may not be coming to town this week, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hear some of their songs done by themselves and others. You know who is co12qaming to town? Brock Zeman, Peter Katz, Romi Mayes, and more! We’ve also got some new, some notable, and some just plain great music.
This is a show we’ve been looking forward to for a long time, as we’re joined LIVE, in-studio by two great bands, Madison Violet and The John Henrys. We’ve been eager to see both live for some time now, and to have them performing in the studio was amazing.
Another busy week of shows, past and future. Thursday on Steel Belted Radio we heard some live music from Wyckham Porteous, who was in town with BOP Ensemble, and we revisited that. Coming up are great shows featuring Rose Cousins, Amelia Curran, Madison Violet, The John Henrys, and The Other Brothers. Plus, new music aplenty from Record Store Day and some great new and upcoming releases. And, in honour of the new vinyl picked up on Record Store Day, a big ol’ stack of classic vinyl!
Tonight, KK and Mudge are in the house, but leaving early to see the mighty BOP Ensemble at WECC. Luckily, we had a special visitor to the studio this week, as the legendary Wyckham Porteous came down to chat about BOP, his fine solo work, and play us some selections from both. As if that weren’t enough, we have some selections for Mother Earth and a few Record Store Day finds!
One more week without KK to keep it all in line, so T-Bar & Mudge have the run of the place. KK does call in to update us on her exciting travels. Musically, we revisited an amazing show full of live guests one year ago, and made an exclusive concert announcement. We preview some Folk Fest artists, play some great new music, and, yeah, we let T-Bar slip in a few as well. Not bad ones, actually!
