Featuring a visit in-studio from Amy Campbell, in town for the Babes for Breasts songwriters’ circle, and a phone call from Tom Wilson, about his new “Acid-folk” band, Lee Harvey Osmond.
TTBTGH: On the show this week
Just a quick note to tell you about some exciting guests on this week’s edition of Tell the Band to Go Home:
This Sunday night at The Park Theatre there’s a great benefit show called Babes for Breasts (http://www.babesforbreasts.com) (easy T-Bar, it’s not that kind of show…) featuring some great female singer/songwriters raising awareness and money for breast cancer research. One of the babes is a singer/songwriter who I’ve had on my radar for a couple of years because of some great projects she’s put out. Her name is Amy Campbell (http://www.amycampbell.ca), and she seems like such a great person and a talented artist that I know we’re going to love her. She’s going to drop by the studio to chat and sing us a few songs and talk about this great event.
Also, we’ll talk to the legendary leader of Junkhouse, member of Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, solo artist, and now leader of Lee Harvey Osmond, Tom Wilson. He’s bringing the Lee Harvey Osmond (http://latentrecordings.com/leeharveyosmond/) collective to the West End this week, and I know that’s going to be an amazing show. I also know that Tom has a million stories and a lot to say, and I’m really excited to be talking to him for, believe it or not, the very first time on the air.
And the usual new music, pointless chat, as well as me bragging about the trip I am going on next weekend!
As if that weren’t exciting enough, we have some very special guests lined up for Thursday on Steel Belted Radio as well. I’ve learned the power of suggestion and the old “ask and ye shall receive” policy, and lucked into a special in-studio guest, as well as a fun phoner that I know we’ll enjoy. I’ll give you more details on TTBTGH and in a few days through this list.
Hope you can join us!
Steel Belted Radio – October 15, 2009
October 11, 2009
Only one real show of any interest this week as our old pal Dave Lang returns to town. We paid an early birthday tribute to John Prine, who comes to town later this month, and did our duty and played some classic Stan Rogers. For the most part, this show was all about the new music, and what great new music it is, including the long-awaited collaboration between NQ Arbuckle & Carolyn Mark.

We’re certifying fall as officially here, as the busy late summer concert concert season is winding down. Sure, there are a couple of shows this week, including The Deep Dark Woods and Kent McAlister, but for the most part, we looked back at great shows past, and heard some great new music.
