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.

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 !

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.

Jaine and Carter are along today to co-host and keep us company, which is always appreciated. We’ve got new music, a look ahead at Gimli’s Alternative Folk Festival, The Trout Forest Music Festival, and a chat with a guy who will be at the Trout and in Winnipeg next Thursday, Gordie Tentrees.

Today we’re joined by singer/songwriter/fringe festival performer Corin Raymond, who’s touring his new one-man show, Bookworm, and preparing for his upcoming album “Paper Nickels” which is made up of songs by great under-appreciated Canadian writers, and is being funded with Canadian Tire money! Along to help out with the hosting duties is a big fan of Corin’s and all kinds of great music, and a very knowledgeable and great guy, Oly Backstrom.

A folk music miracle has occurred, as someone, somewhere found some new, unreleased live recordings of the late great Willie P Bennett, and managed to sneak some copies out into the world. We love folks like that, and it’s our great pleasure and duty to spin it for you, as well as some other Willie songs by other great people. We’ve also got a bit of a tribute to Steve Goodman, we’ve got tickets to giveaway and much more!
