Today a long overdue in-studio visit by former Winnipegger, Matt Epp. He’s been on quite a roll the past few years with his Amorian Assembly, and their new album is a winner. Good to have him in to chat all about it. As usual, we’ve got all of the new music and classics you could shake a stick at, if you were to shake a stick at music. (That’s pretty weird, but if you’re so inclined, go for it.)

Ah, the May long weekend is upon us at last. The weather’s ruining the party a bit, but hey, at least it’s not snow! We’ve got some great tunes to start the summer off right. First up some great new music before settling in to preview a couple of exciting shows this week, as well as some upcoming house concerts, real and imaginary. To end off the show, a tribute to a legendary cornerstone of the Canadian folk/roots community. Why? Because.
