Tell the Band to Go Home

Episode #1080

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.

Episode #1078

A bunch of great new music today including a couple of exclusive tracks from an exciting upcoming all-star album release featuring women and gender-diverse artists covering homegrown songs. The album, “HER (204): Stories Of One Great City Revisited,” will be released next Sunday at The Park Theatre. This got me wanting to explore some of the talented women performing at the show and on the album, as well as other female talent from Winnipeg and elsewhere!

Episode #1077

A bunch of new music to start, then we bid a fond farewell to our longtime friend and show favourite, Del Barber, who is wrapping up his “Last Kick at the Can” tour with two big hometown shows this week. I’ve seen Del a lot of times in a lot of places over the past 14 years. Whether solo or with a band, he’s one of the great live performers, and his albums have all been mainstays on this show. If this truly is the end of his music career, we wish him well and look back at some magical moments and great achievements. Thanks for the music and the memories, Del!
