Pre-recorded as I’m off at the Trout Forest Music Festival. The Fred Eaglesmith show rolls into town this week, and that means a heaping helping of Fred and of course a tribute to the late great Willie P Bennett. Then, we’ve got new music, old but interesting music, upcoming events, and more.
Summertime’s a great time to relax and just listen to some great music, and that’s what we did for the most part today. Sure, we talked a bit about the upcoming Trout Forest Music Festival, and a bit about the glory of The Jayhawks, but other than that, it was good music and good times.
We look back at this year’s Winnipeg Folk Festival highs & lows. And just because WFF is over, that doesn’t mean that festival season is over, instead, it’s just gearing up. We take a look ahead at Canada’s best little festival, Trout Forest, as AD Devin Latimer gives us a call to chat about this year’s lineup.
This weekend we lost another great Canadian musician when the legendary Jackie Washington took his last bow. Jackie is truly one of the great, guiding lights of the Canadian folk/roots/blues community, so we had to pay tribute to his legendary career. Also, a look at some upcoming shows, some new music, and some classics we just don’t hear often enough.
The recent Kasey Chambers/Shane Nicholson show in Fargo provided a lot of great moments and inspiration to get us started. Also, it’s Fathers’ Day, and I’m proud to be part of that group finally, so a short celebration. And, some great upcoming shows including Jill Barber, Dan Mangan, and more.
Wow, what a show. Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, along with Bill Chambers, live in Fargo, North Dakota, June 18, 2009. Absolutely incredible. Bet you wish you were there. Well, through the magic of bootlegging technology, you can be.
