It’s Canada Day, up Canada way, and even Steel Belted Radio takes a day to celebrate that. We’re pre-recorded this week with a musical tour of our great country with songs about our people & places, by some of Canada’s finest musicians (and one honourary Canadian.) Celebrate with us!
I love Winnipeg’s music scene, but I’ve never been as excited about a new Winnipeg artist as I am these days about Del Barber. His new record is one of this year’s finest, his live shows are second to none, and he’s a heck of a swell guy, to boot. I’m super excited to welcome him on to the show today.
After that, it almost doesn’t matter, but there are some great shows coming up in Winnipeg, including The Bottle & The Truth, Joshua Cockerill, Tom Petty, and I’m headed off to Minneapolis to check out The Jayhawks!
The three minds that make up the Steel Belted team don’t always agree (obviously), but if there’s one thing we agree on, it’s that The Damnwells are one of the greatest bands on Earth. Tonight, a very special treat, as we chat live with Alex Dezen, the leader of that amazing band.
