Always a pleasure to catch up with a couple of my favourite people and musicians, both of whom are coming to town this week, Christina Martin and Ruth Moody. Christina stops by The Sunset Saloon next Sunday while Ruth Moody stops in at home on Thursday night. Both ladies have wonderful latest albums and both are great to talk to. A real treat. Also, yesterday was Record Store Day and as usual I came home with a bag full of new tunes, so we had to spin some of those as well as a few new releases. Busy show!

I’ve done a lot of interviews over the past 12 or 13 years, but very few as moving, interesting, and memorable as today’s chat. And it’s with a guy that we’ve talked to many times before, Scott Nolan, who called us from the snowy road on the way back home after a marathon tour with Mary Gauthier. Thursday marks the premiere of his new documentary film, Chasing a Song. Besides that, we’ve got some upcoming shows and show news, and still a bit of time for some interesting new releases.
