April 2, 2006

Today a 2-hour celebration of great Canadian music. The Junos are especially silly this year, so it’s hard to consider winning or even being nominated a huge honour, but any celebration of great Canadian music is ok by me. With that in mind, this show looked at some of the better music being nominated, as well as some of the winners from the non-televised awards (which are always more important anyway).

Also, a listen to some of the great music put out by Sarah Harmer, who is in town this week. Not only does she put out great music on her own, but Harmer has been on more great Canadian albums than anyone I can think of, so we heard some of her contributions to others’ albums.

Steel Belted Radio – March 30, 2006 – Greg Leskiw (Swing Soniq)

Featuring an interview with Winnipeg legend, and leader of Swing Soniq, Greg Leskiw. Greg played an integral role in The Guess Who after Randy Bachman left the band, and was the leader of legendary bands Mood Jga Jga, Killowatt, and Les Q. He dropped by the studio to talk about the new disc, “Love Wild,” and the upcoming CD release show. Quite a treat to have this man in.

T-Bar is in on this one, so you’ll hear some bad jokes and some oddball picks.
