Ever since we heard Catherine MacLellan’s amazing album Church Bell Blues a few years ago, she’s been one of our favourites. We had the chance to speak with her on the phone a while back, but this weekend, we’re expecting to meet her and hear her play live on Tell the Band to Go Home! Surprisingly, this will be our first live guest of 2011, and the first performer in our fancy new studio, so this should be great!
Tune in this Sunday, 2-4 pm to hear Catherine MacLellan, LIVE!
A (long) while back, I finally got around to recording a generic non-time-sensitive standby show for Steel Belted Radio, for those instances when we can’t make it in to the studio and don’t have time to whip something up. I’d say that we’re pretty reliable at getting new stuff on for you, so if we skip a few weeks a year, hopefully you won’t mind.
We’ve aired the standby show a number of times over the years, but it wasn’t until TODAY that I actually listened to the damn thing and found out that I’d labeled it in the wrong damn order! Yikes!
I hate it when I make a mistake. Hate it. But I hate it more when nobody tells me. If you notice me doing stupid crap like this again, TELL ME! Please!
Anyway, here, for your downloading pleasure is a pretty solid “best of” Steel Belted standby show. (now, if only I could dig up the playlist…)
It’s Juno weekend in the centre of the universe, so we call up our pal, first-time nominee Del Barber for some inside dirt. We take a look at some great upcoming shows and spin some rockin’ requests.

This weekend marked the release of the information that we wait all year for – the lineup for the Winnipeg Folk Festival! This year’s lineup is an interesting mix of legends and unknowns, and we heard from some of the expected highlights. We also got to some exciting new music, as well as a look ahead to next week’s Juno Awards. Lastly, we had a conversation with our old friend Martyn Joseph, who returns to Winnipeg after a few years’ absence.

Carter’s along for the ride again, and that means that things get even sillier than usual, as we hear some songs from the animal kingdom, and some unusual bird calls, courtesy of Ron from Lockport. We’ve also got some great new music and previews of upcoming shows by the likes of Spirit of the West, Harry Manx, and more!
