Tell the Band to Go Home

Episode #1098

New music, upcoming shows aplenty, and a special primer for our upcoming house concert with Jadea Kelly! Not only has Jadea made some great albums of her own, she’s recorded a bunch of covers and appeared on albums and recordings alongside a wide variety of artists. We heard a whole bunch of Jadea’s contributions.

Episode #1095

I take great pride in playing a lot of local music on this show and celebrating and supporting the local music community as much as I can, but I don’t think I’ve ever devoted an entire episode to showing off the wide variety of great music being made by artists from Manitoba or by other artists who have come here to record. I realized quickly that there was no way to distill it to a “Best of” or a complete overview, so this is a personal sampling of some of the great music that I love that came from here or was recorded here. There’s so much more to discover and enjoy, but I hope you get a sense of the talent and passion that comes from this place by listening to this show!

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!

Episode #1094

Shining a spotlight on a true Canadian music MVP, producer/singer/songwriter/guitar player/pedal steel wizard/all-around good guy, Dale Murray! Dale is well-known by musicians but tends to be out of the spotlight most of the time, spending much of his time and sharing his talent by making others shine. He’s been a valuable contributor to a wide variety of bands and projects, and on today’s show, we listen to as many and as much as we can fit into 3 hours, but still ended up leaving a LOT out!
