Tonight we (yes, “we”, T-Bar’s in again) look at a great benefit show going on at the West End, celebrate 10 years of Transistor 66, new music, T-Bar’s picks, and even a little Hall & Oates. Yup.

Today we’re joined by Rob Lutes who’s busy on the Home Routes tour. He drops by to chat and play some of his great songs live. Today is also especially well-stocked with great new music, as well as a couple of significant birthdays and a fond farewell.

A sad day today, as the world said goodbye to Levon Helm. Few figures loom larger than The Band in our world, and Levon was a huge part of what we knew and loved and were so inspired by. It’s our duty to play a whole bunch of Levon Helm today. We also pay tribute to another departed favourite figure, Billy Cowsill, as we hear Dustin Bentall’s new tribute song. On a higher note, there are some great shows coming up in our town.

Today we’re proud to present the world premiere of Del Barber’s new album “Headwaters,” which will be released May 1 on Six Shooter Records. We’ve been fanatics and friends of Del’s since first seeing him a couple of years ago, so we’ve watched the progress and are super excited about his new contract and this great record. Del stops by to chat about it and play a couple of songs live.

It’s Easter Sunday, so that means we’re bound for trouble with a little bit of sacreligious snarky music. We try to redeem ourselves by celebrating birthdays, paying tribute to the late great John Bottomley, and looking forward to exciting upcoming shows, including the long-awaited return of Kathleen Edwards.

A real mixed bag today, something for everybody: April Fools, 90s indie rock, new music, goodbye Earl (Scruggs), birthday parties for Emmylou, Merle, and Eilen, as well as a look at this year’s Junos. All of that, jammed into 2 hours.

Tonight there’s a can’t miss show going on at the West End, so we’re pre-recorded. Tonight’s concert features two great bands who have visited us in the past for some conversation and live performances. Those were great sessions, worthy of reviewing while we dash off to see the concert tonight. So, we revist classic live sessions with The Wooden Sky (recorded in February, 2010) and The Sunparlour Players (recorde in November, 2009).

We gots lots goin’ on today, including previews of some of the best shows coming up this week (and there are plenty), including Rose Cousins, who joins us on the telephone today to chat about her fine new album and upcoming debut at the West End Cultural Centre. We’re also celebrating Nick Lowe’s birthday (whenever it might be) and looking at the lineup for this year’s Winnipeg Folk Festival, which was announced this weekend.
