Podcast: Steel Belted Radio – May 28, 2015 – Mad About Mike Plume

Tonight, we play a whole show of songs in the key of Mike (Plume, that is!) Our pal Mike is celebrating his birthday today, and he’s also headed to Winnipeg in June, so we’ve got lots to celebrate. Mike has been not only our namesake, but an amazing inspiration and a great friend of this show the entire time. Our theme song also provides a great roadmap for the type of music that we love to hear. In the song, Mike name checks some of our favourites, so tonight we listen to different versions of the song where he drops different names, and we play ’em all! A show chock full of songs that you don’t hear on your normal radio; good thing we’ve never pretended to be normal! Check out www.mikeplume.com for lots of great content, and join us for a roots rockin’ party June 24 at Times Change(d)!

It’s time to nerd out about some amazing upcoming shows! We’ll run down the Sunset Saloon summer series, and go totally overboard playing only 2 bands in the last hour of the show, but with a wealth of material between them, there’s plenty to love. In between, we’ve got a solid set of classics from folks we don’t hear often enough.

The Damnwells are back and on tour, and it rolls in to St. Paul, MN this weekend! We’re not going to pass up this opportunity, so T-Bar & I are heading down, and I know that other local folks will as well. In honour of that, we listen to some rockin’ Damnwells classics and travel back in time to our chat with Alex from the band in 2010. We’ve also got a whole pile of other great roots rockin’ classics, including a trip to Mississippi with Mike Plume for some snake grabbing!
