Steel Belted Radio – April 30, 2009

KK takes the wheel for a rare solo show, and does the unthinkable: plays 1.5 hours of great music with no ridiculous arguing. She’s trying to ruin the show, I’m sure of it. Hopefully you don’t get used to hearing just the best music out there, because the circus will be back in town soon. In the meantime, enjoy it with birthday wishes for Jim Bryson, and great tunes from the likes of The Weakerthans, Leeroy Stagger, Romi Mayes, Matt Mays, and much more!

Guy Clark – Live in Winnipeg, April 5, 2009

When one of the greatest songwriters of all time comes to town for a rare appearance, you know I’m going to be there front and centre, and since I’ve got a bad memory and he may not ever come back, I needed to have the recorder rolling. Enjoy: http://www.tellthebandtogohome.com/GuyClark.zip

Martin Sexton – Live in Winnipeg

Were you at the Martin Sexton concert last week? Whether you were or not, you may be interested in revisiting what you saw or missed. Lucky for you, I had my recorder handy: http://www.tellthebandtogohome.com/MartinSexton.zip

Martin Sexton special – April 15, 2009

When one of the singer/songwriters who first blew my mind at the Folk Fest and set me off on this musical journey calls and asks if he can drop by the studio, I don’t care what day it is, I’m coming in. So, this was a Wednesday night special with special guest, live, in studio chatting and singing, Martin Sexton!
