A show so busy, we didn’t even really have time to celebrate our monumental 800th episode (we’ll do that next week)! We’re back from some great summer festivals and shows with memories to share, we’ve got two exciting new Sunset Saloon shows to announce, more fine requests, and a chat with Hayes Carll, who returns to Winnipeg after a rather lengthy absence in September!

This show features another pile of new and new-to-me music as well as a look at some exciting upcoming shows including a long look at my favourite North American festival of them all, the Trout Forest Music Festival, happening August 9-11 in lovely Ear Falls, Ontario! (https://www.troutfest.com/)

Our next new episode will be episode 800! Wow! That’s a lot of great music! Should we party? Take a look back at the first 800? Just roll on with great music like we always do? Tune in next week (or the week after…) and find out!

This episode is another one of those timeless standby episodes that you might hear again sometime when I can’t make it down to the station and I’m not able to provide something all-new. Hopefully, you’ll agree that the music in here is so great that you won’t mind revisiting this episode down the road.

This episode is called the Special Guest Spectacular because every song features some kind of special guest sitting in with another artist or band. Every once in a while you catch one artist singing backup or doing a duet or playing a solo on someone else’s song, and this show collects a whole bunch of those. We also dip our toes into the extensive well of special guest appearances by the Canadian and American queens of such appearances!
