It’s back to school time, and while I don’t expect any sympathy from anyone, perhaps we can all use a good set of picker-upper favourites to start the day, so we shall provide one for any occasion. If that didn’t do the trick, surely the great new music or the exciting upcoming shows should, or perhaps a tribute to my wonderful son Jeremy, who is having his 4th birthday party today!

I’m fresh in from a trip to the Minnesota State fair where I saw some amazing shows, picked up a bunch of new music, and saw plenty to talk about. Also on today’s show, some show previews, new music, and much more!

Another fun-filled afternoon of new music and information, plus a couple of spotlight sets of songs by folks we love, but don’t play all that often because they don’t often release new music or come to Winnipeg, Kim Barlow and Rory McLeod – tired of waiting for an excuse to play them, we’ll just do it because we feel like it.

Today we’re joined by Liam Titcomb who’s in town to promote his great new album, Cicada. He drops in to tell us all about it and to play some songs live.

This is one of those “standby” episodes that we put on the air in times when we can’t make it in and don’t have time to whip up something new. As such, it’s a timely one that doesn’t refer to anything new or upcoming, so it’s full of classics that stand the test of time. This one also attempts to pull out some of our favourites that we don’t hear often enough.
This is a BONUS episode, only avaialble online (for now), as it has not been aired and we aren’t even sure when we’ll need to play it, so enjoy this little online “extra.”
There is also a new BONUS episode of Steel Belted Radio, available at the all-new STEELBELTEDRADIO.COM !

Lots of new music today, including the eagerly awaited new album from Whitehorse and another dig into the mailbag. As usual, there are some exciting shows to preview, and all kinds of other good things to talk about.

The mailbag overfloweth, so it’s time to dig deep and pull out some of the many new releases that have come our way. We’ve got plenty of good ones from past favourites and new discoveries. We’ve also got the goods on upcoming shows at Times Change(d) and the BBQ & Blues festival, and much more!

We’re deep in the thick of festival season (our favourite season), and next weekend marks an unpleasant apex, when 3 of our favourites, Edmonton, Regina, and Trout Forest take place on the same weekend. It’s tough to choose from among your favourites, so today on the show we’ll lay out the highlights of the two closest (and the ones not sold out) in hopes of reaching a decision. Today is also the day for the Gimli Alternative Folk Festival, and that’s always worth a drive, so a few highlights from that one as well.
