One of the greatest songwriters of all time, and one of the corner stones of our playlists, Paul Kelly returns on Monday, and if that ain’t cause for celebration, what could be? Sticking with Australia for a bit, we’ve got some music from Kasey & Shane, and we discuss those awful, untrue rumours spread by Stu Reid. We’ve also got a pile of new music that you won’t want to miss.

Always a pleasure to catch up with a couple of my favourite people and musicians, both of whom are coming to town this week, Christina Martin and Ruth Moody. Christina stops by The Sunset Saloon next Sunday while Ruth Moody stops in at home on Thursday night. Both ladies have wonderful latest albums and both are great to talk to. A real treat. Also, yesterday was Record Store Day and as usual I came home with a bag full of new tunes, so we had to spin some of those as well as a few new releases. Busy show!

I’ve done a lot of interviews over the past 12 or 13 years, but very few as moving, interesting, and memorable as today’s chat. And it’s with a guy that we’ve talked to many times before, Scott Nolan, who called us from the snowy road on the way back home after a marathon tour with Mary Gauthier. Thursday marks the premiere of his new documentary film, Chasing a Song. Besides that, we’ve got some upcoming shows and show news, and still a bit of time for some interesting new releases.

Wasn’t that a party? Corin Raymond & The Sundowners came to town to celebrate the release of Paper Nickels, and I was there for 2 out of the 3 shows. Magical. The project aims to expose great underappreciated songs & writers, so in true folk detective style, we’ve got some of the many songs that Corin played and recommended, as well as some friends and colleagues. On a more sombre note, this weekend marks the anniversary of the death of the late great John Bottomley, as well as the star-studded tribute to another great musician gone too soon, Jay Smith.

A look behind the scenes as we’re joined by a couple of folks behind one of the most amazing and inspiring projects in a long time, Corin Raymond & Rob Vaarmeyer. They were the guiding forces behind Corin’s “Paper Nickels” project which collects together some amazing, underappreciated songs from across the nation.

A bit of a shorter episode today as I’m off to see Express and Co. at River City Social Club, but I had to come in to remind you of some great upcoming events and play a few old favourites.

It’s Spring Break for the kiddies (and us teachers), and there’s lots of great shows this week to help us celebrate. We preview some of the highlights and one of the most exciting is Thursday’s EP release show for local roots trio Red Moon Road. They dropped by to chat about the EP, the show, and perform for us.
