Some healing summertime vibes today to kick things off, with an inadvertent Sunset Saloon Best Of, a new discovery that’s ringing an unknown bell, some new music, an exciting upcoming show, and we send some love and healing feelings to a guy we’ve admired and followed for a long time, Vance Gilbert, as he faces a battle with cancer that’ll keep him off stage for the time being. Here’s hoping he can rest up, heal, and come back as great as ever!

It’s our last official day to ask for your help before we go back to doing what we do without asking anything of you. If you feel like showing your support and encouragement, your donation, no matter how seemingly small, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who donated and once again made Tell the Band to Go Home‘s pledge drive a smashing success! I really appreciate hearing from so many people.

It’s time once again for UMFM’s Pledge-O-Rama, the one week of the year where we ask for your help. In order to keep the station functioning the way we’d like and to make necessary improvements, we need an infusion of money that we hope you will be willing to help provide. More importantly for me, however, it’s the one week where I get to learn some of the names of the people out there listening in. We truly have no idea who’s listening or how many of you there are unless you let us know directly, and this is the best way to find out. Your donations, large or small, all show that what we do is important to you, and that means a whole lot. I adore putting together this show every week, and I’d gladly do it just for myself, but knowing that it means something to you is very rewarding and it helps motivate you to make the best show possible.

As usual, the show includes a bunch of new music, memories of a truly great concert last night and we look ahead to a busy week of shows here and elsewhere. We also spin some classic Winnipeg music that doesn’t get played anywhere other than on campus & community radio.

We’ve also got a new interview with one of the greatest songwriters in Canada and one of my true heroes, Ron Hawkins, all about the new album from The Lowest of the Low, which is truly exciting. We’ve even got some tracks from the upcoming album to debut!

Thanks for all of your support. If you didn’t get a chance to donate during the show, Pledge-O-Rama is on all week and you could help us get to our station goal.

Join me Friday morning from 6-9 am for Mudge in the Morning!

Some new music and some new magic courtesy of Dagwood Radio (Wednesdays, 6-8 on UMFM), a local show to look forward to on the horizon, and a pile of great music and great memories I was lucky enough to experience at the wonderful Regina Folk Festival over the years. The festival recently announced that it would not be returning, as was hoped for this year. The festival existed for over 50 years and despite being a smaller festival in a smaller city, it was known for daring lineups, female-first programming, diversity, and memorable collaborations. I’m grateful for the good times I had there in 2004, 2005, and 2012, and today’s show featured a lot of highlights from those festivals.
