We’ve been talking about it and preparing for it for a long time, and finally it’s here, UMFM’s first Pledge-O-Rama fall funding event. Things are a little different today, because instead of giving you the best music and information, we’re hoping that you’ll give to us and make a pledge to support the station. We’ve got plenty of prizes and incentives to dole out, and special live musical guests, Nathan!

Upcoming shows, new music, and a tribute to the West End Cultural Centre, Winnipeg’s music venue of choice for 25 years!

Local singer/songwriter Don Amero has been on our radar for a few years, but today marks the first time we get to sit down and chat and hear some of his impressive songs performed live. We’ve got a few other exciting shows to preview, and of course, UMFM Pledge-O-Rama kicks off next week, so this is our last pre-pledge show!

Pre-recorded today, but we’ve got plenty of great upcoming shows to talk about, including the return of CR Avery, the long-awaited return of Matt Mays, and a show tonight featuring one of our favourites, Sunparlour Players! The version of this show that aired on UMFM contained an interview with Andrew & Rosie of Sunparlour Players, so the last half hour of this podcast is a download exclusive.

Lots of great music to be thankful for today, with a whole lot of great new releases, and an extended preview of this week’s Sunparlour Players show at the West End!
September 29, 2002, we officially kicked off and christened Tell the Band to Go Home. Hard to believe, but 10 years later, we’re still here, still loving it, and still screwing up regularly! Today we look back at the first full decade of the show, hoping that we’ll be around for one or two more! Joining us via the telephone is one of our most played artists over the past 10 years, Jim Bryson, as well as the host that gave us the time slot and the inspiration, Lisa-Marie Serafin, former host of UMFM’s Songwriters’ Circle!

It’s a “new music and upcoming shows” kind of day, with plenty of both.

Too much to do today and not enough time to get to it all, but we did our best and managed to squeeze in new music, requests, dedications, a preview of Kathleen Edwards’ upcoming show, and a special live in-studio visit by Redgy Blackout for some live music and conversation!

As usual tonight, we’ve got new music and upcoming shows to hype, but it isn’t every week that we’re joined by guests as lovely and talented as Andrea Romalo and Cindy Doire, otherwise known as Scarlett Jane. They’re in Manitoba for a Home Routes tour, and they kicked it all off with a visit to the studio for a chat and some live music!

We’ve got plenty of upcoming shows this week, including Redgy Blackout, Christa Couture, Craig Cardiff, Valdy, Leeroy Stagger, and Jeremy Messersmith! That’s a pretty good basis for a show, but we’ve also got plenty of new music and old favourites to fill it out.
