We’re deep in the thick of festival season (our favourite season), and next weekend marks an unpleasant apex, when 3 of our favourites, Edmonton, Regina, and Trout Forest take place on the same weekend. It’s tough to choose from among your favourites, so today on the show we’ll lay out the highlights of the two closest (and the ones not sold out) in hopes of reaching a decision. Today is also the day for the Gimli Alternative Folk Festival, and that’s always worth a drive, so a few highlights from that one as well.
Jaine and Carter are along today to co-host and keep us company, which is always appreciated. We’ve got new music, a look ahead at Gimli’s Alternative Folk Festival, The Trout Forest Music Festival, and a chat with a guy who will be at the Trout and in Winnipeg next Thursday, Gordie Tentrees.

Jeremy Messersmith‘s Supper Club Tour
Live @ Sunset Saloon (house concert, West Winnipeg, contact us for address and info)
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
7:30 doors, 8:00 show, over by 10:00 Tickets $15 in advance:
Please bring a pot-luck style dish to share (if you are able) and adult beverages of your choice (if you wish)
All are welcome, family friendly
A few notes about Jeremy, in case you’re not familiar:
Based out of Minneapolis, Jeremy is widely known as the premier songwriter of the bustling Minneapolis music scene. He has been named so several times by each of the major print publications around town
National Public Radio (NPR) named Jeremy’s last album, The Reluctant Graveyard, as one of the Top 10 albums of 2010
Jeremy’s video for Tatooine was a viral sensation, landing in online publications like Wired, USA Today, BoingBoing, Yahoo! (Front Page), etc
Jeremy opened up for President Obama in Minneapolis! Democrat or Republic anytime you can whip the crowd into a frenzy before POTUS its a remarkable thing! 🙂
I often get credit for the great music on the show, but the reality is, a lot of the best tips come from listeners. Such is the case with Jeremy Messersmith, who was introduced to me by listener Tonya, when she lived near Minneapolis. Messersmith is based in the area, and is a darling of the great radio station The Current. Once I heard this guy’s music, I was hooked, and I know that you will be also.
He’s got a knack for irresistable pop hooks and some wonderful production on his albums, but at the core, he’s a singer/songwriter with a keen eye, a delicate heart, and a way with words – just the way we like ’em. His albums just keep getting better, and his star just keeps rising. In the Minneapolis area, he can fill huge rooms (like First Avenue) and take part in huge bills (such as the show at the Minnesota State Fair, where he’s co-billed along with The Jayhawks and a rare and eagerly anticipated reunion of Semisonic), but he’s about to embark on an intimate tour of house concerts/pot luck dinners, called The Supper Club Tour.
We always encourage folks to bring food and make a meal of it, but this time, Jeremy is upping the pressure. He’s asking folks to bring their favourite family dish to share. Sure, we understand if you can’t/won’t, and we won’t kick you out if you don’t bring the Corning Ware, but we really hope you’ll take us up on the idea this time.
New for this show is the online advance ticket sales. All tickets are supposed to be purchased online, in advance. If that isn’t possible for you, please drop us a line below and we’ll negotiate, but it would make things much easier (and less stressful) if you’d do your part and buy a ticket online. It’s cheap, easy, and much appreciated:
Today we’re joined by singer/songwriter/fringe festival performer Corin Raymond, who’s touring his new one-man show, Bookworm, and preparing for his upcoming album “Paper Nickels” which is made up of songs by great under-appreciated Canadian writers, and is being funded with Canadian Tire money! Along to help out with the hosting duties is a big fan of Corin’s and all kinds of great music, and a very knowledgeable and great guy, Oly Backstrom.
