More than two full years after our last live broadcast, Tell the Band to Go Home returned to the studio to see whether we remember how it’s done. Things got off to a little late due to some access issues and ran a little late, but in between, we had some fun with some new music and some exciting upcoming shows.

Episode #933

It’s one of those weeks where there’s not a lot going on, not a lot of exciting new music, and no real requests or special themes to cover, so it’s a good time to look through the collection and pull out some gems that we haven’t heard in a while.

Episode #931

Hour 1 is loaded with new music, German requests, and Mary’s birthday (which I think I forgot to even mention…) In hour 2, I steal a page from this past week’s Boots and Saddle (listen HERE), where guest host Brian Saunderson of the great show Hurtin’ for Real cheekily played a bunch of great 90s country music, which B&S host Sean Burns loves to hate. Through 2 hours of great 90s country, Brian played a lot of my favourites, but left a few out, so we pick up the scraps and tack on another hour of great music from the 90s that even Sean Burns can’t dislike!
