Out of town, so this show is pre-recorded, but we take our role as your informant seriously, so we’re here to let you know what’s going on, what’s important, and what you need to know. Tonight, we’re encouraging you to support CKUW FunDrive, go to some amazing upcoming shows, and play even more great Texas songwriters that we didn’t get to on last week’s show or Sunday’s TTBTGH special!

Texas holds a magical, mythical appeal, because it is the birthplace and the home of many of the greatest songwriters of all time. Today, a Texas Songwriter Special, featuring some of the many timeless songs and writers to emerge from The Lone Star State.

The show is pre-recorded this week because I’m off on my dream vacation, visit to Austin, TX, music central. Texas is the centre of so much of the music we love, so there’s much to celebrate, and we’ll play you some songs from a few Texas greats tonight. Sadly, being there means that I can’t see NQ Arbuckle in Winnipeg, but we’ve got some songs for you tonight that will hopefully get you primed up for the show.

Enough of that Best of 2012 nonsense, let’s get back to the roots rockin’ classics, including tributes to a couple of our faves, Matthew Ryan & Alejandro Escovedo. We also get some big concert news, which brings sadness to our host’s heart, we kill off Ted Nugent (#riptednugent) and then bring him back to life! A wild & wacky ride.

It’s the end of 2012 as we know it, and I feel fine. Our last show of the year is a perfect time to look back at the year that was – highlights and letdowns, and look forward to things to come in the new year. Today’s show is full of all of that, as well as a little New Year celebration (and one leftover Christmas classic.)

‘twas the show before Christmas and on today’s show, we’re playing some great Christmas music; it exists, you know.
Yeah, we’re playing songs with that festive feeling, as well as some non holiday requests, favourites, and looking at some upcoming shows.

This is our last Steel Belted show before The Big Day, so a celebration of Christmas music that is not terrible (as well as some roots rockin classics, by request from The Big Man himself).
