Every once in a while you notice that an artist or band that you loved or saw a bunch of times seems to be missing in action. Sometimes a band or artist will just give up the hectic, unpredictable, stressful, dangerous life of a touring musician, and sometimes they’ll just drop a little further off the radar, still making music that you might not necessarily even know about. This episode compiles some of those artists and bands and we track a few down and wonder about some others.

This is another in our long line of timeless “standby” episodes that you might hear again some day when I’m not able to come up with a new show. It’s full of great music, so I’m sure you won’t mind. Heck, you might just want to come back and revisit it on your own some time!

It’s our 900th episode and time to look back at the past hundred episodes since we last tallied up our most played artists a couple of years ago! It’s interesting to compare recent episodes to those cumulative totals, so we did some of that today, but we’ve also got some great new music to share and we chat about the Great Cycle Challenge Canada, going on now. Thanks to all of the generous sponsors so far. There’s still plenty of time to support the cause, so consider making a tax-deductable pledge here if you’re able: https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/JeffRobson

This month, I’ll be taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge, in support of SickKids, an organization trying to find a cure for childhood cancer. That sounds like a mighty amazing mission that I can get behind. If you’re able and willing, consider supporting the cause! https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/JeffRobson

Had to slip in some exciting new music and one big concert announcement, but the bulk of today’s show is inspired by a recent trip down to Blue Note Park where I saw Andrew Neville & The Poor Choices tear through a set of stellar songs that had me thinking that Poor Choices sure do make excellent choices, so I stole a pile of classics off of their playlist and threw in a bunch of my own for a pretty solid set of music that’ll have you eager to join me down at the Park this week for another sure-to-be-great Poor Choices show! Tickets are limited but available here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/andrew-neville-and-the-poor-choices-tickets-160294359745

It’s a pretty incredible week all around at Blue Note Park. Hope to see you there! Whatever tickets remain are available here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/times-changed-high-amp-lonesome-club-18256543452

It’s the Fourth of July, and a few songs are in order for our friends to the South, as well as some words about what’s been going on here at home lately. We’ve got a big backpile of great new music, including new tracks from some of our very favourites. This past week on Fly with your Shadow, I spoke to old friend and longtime favourite, David Francey, and had a bit left for this show, where he talked about the new music that he’s been working on and some of his favourite artists right now.
