Podcast: June 21, 2015 – Matt Epp / Father’s Day Special

It’s Father’s Day today, so a very special episode featuring fathers & our children, as I’m joined by my son Jeremy, and a special co-host, Gary Annable, who was one of the original hosts of Steel Belted Radio but hasn’t been back on UMFM in a decade; he brought his son along and we were joined by Matt Epp, who brought his infant daughter Luma with him for a chat and to play some songs from his new album.

Today’s show is a love letter to one of the most significant influences in my life and certainly the biggest source of musical education in my life, The Winnipeg Folk Festival. I’ve seen and been a part of many amazing things at the festival, and today’s show discusses some of the many highlights of my 22 years at the festival.

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)!
