We’re looking forward to two exciting local shows, unfortunately happening on the same night, as favourites JP Hoe and Scott Nolan battle for listener loyalty on Friday. We also celebrate the life and lasting legacy of Rick Danko, spin a few holiday favourites, and dust off some new and classic vinyl.

It’s not Christmas yet, but it’ll feel like it this week as we receive many gifts in the form of great upcoming concerts. Lots to celebrate and enjoy on today’s show. We’ll also celebrate last week’s show by Charlie Mars and The Dixie Chicks. The Chicks sometimes don’t get a lot of respect, but they sure do cover some great songs and hang out with some pretty special friends, so a celebration of both today. And on a less joyful note, we would be remiss if we didn’t honour Remembrance Day, so a few songs in honour of the day.
