This weekend is the opening of that big, goofy museum at The Forks. As controversial as that thing is, they are bringing us some great music, and there’s nothing questionable about that, so some music from the performers this weekend, and some music with a message and for a good cause.
We’re once again joined by Grant Davidson, aka Slow Leaves, in advance of the release of the new full-length CD, Beauty Is so Common on Sept. 6 at The West End Cultural Centre! The first weekend back at school also includes plenty of other great concerts to check out and ease your way back into the usual routines.
A couple of exciting events to celebrate today. First, the BBQ and Blues festival wraps up today, and I’ve finally made it out there after a couple of years of laziness, and I was really impressed, so a celebration of some great rockin’ blues to kick things off. Then, a lady I’ve been dying to talk to and see play in this city for a long, long time, Lynn Miles not only made it to Winnipeg, but came down to UMFM for a great live session, which we get to hear today!

This past week, the amazing Martyn Joseph spent a bunch of time in town, and it was wonderful. He made some time to stop by the station to chat and play some songs for today’s show! As if that weren’t enough, we’ve got more new music, a Trout Forest Music Festival preview, and a look ahead to another upcoming house concert that promises to be equally amazing!
