Jeff Robson, Dietmar Leibecke, Leeroy Stagger in Germany, June 10, 2016

New music & festival confirmations & dreams to start, then we play the 2016 game by looking back 10 years to a time when life seemed a little more simple and hopeful. I don’t know how or where this 2016 trend started, but it was a good opportunity to look back at a very busy year with some real highlights. On today’s show, we looked at highlights of shows & festivals, at least one disappointment, a few I couldn’t attend, and a few that I can’t believe I missed out on.

This week, Winnipeg’s Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club is celebrating 25 years of good people with excellent taste in music. Today on the show, we hear loads of music recorded at the club, released by the club, about the club, and songs & stories from plenty of my personal highlights of great shows I’ve seen there over the years.

This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
