Tell the Band to Go Home

We don’t really get excited about sports around here very often, but today the Bombers are playing for the Grey Cup, and they can use all the help they can get. With that in mind, we send out a set of Blue & Gold songs that will hopefully help the boys win the big game. There are a couple of shows this week that we’re excited about, including the return of our pal Andy Sheppard and his new project Find the Others, and the legendary Gordon Lightfoot!

Luckily, I made it off my duff and out to Neilfest this weekend, and it got me thinking (as I often do) about how amazing our local musicians are. Truly world class, and we’ve got some of the best today, including some songs from Hatcher Briggs, who do a rare live show next weekend. Also next weekend is the return of the amazing CR Avery (along with Wil). We’ve also got some neat new music, some requests, and even a trip to the opera/opry!
