Winnipeg Folk Festival preview part 1

Our favourite time of year is almost here, it’s almost time for the Winnipeg Folk Festival! This is the first of our official Folk Fest previews, and the first of two special podcasts we’re doing in conjunction with the Winnipeg Folk Festival website. This week, one of the most exciting performers coming to the festival for the very first time, all the way from Austin Texas, the legendary Eliza Gilkyson. We caught up with her on the telephone before she heads to town to find out all about her new album and her amazing career up to this point.

On today’s show we heard some eagerly awaited new music from folks like Shannon Lyon, Brock Zeman, Jackie Greene, the new Skydiggers! and much more.

Also, today marks father’s day, and although that day’s never meant a whole lot to me, that’s about to change, so we looked at some songs for dads and some famous dads & their offspring.

yup, podcast machine was broken AGAIN, so another episode that you’ll never get to hear again, sadly

I hate to strip away the magic, but the truth is that sometimes I show up to the station somewhat uninspired, with no real vision or idea what to play. Luckily, in those cases, the listeners often come to the rescue, and thankfully that was the case today. Loyal listeners Rob & Laura started us off by asking for some songs that might help them plant the flowers in the garden, and it was off and running from there. We slipped in a few for Allie and even one for our neighbour Julianne.

The new NQ Arbuckle is here! The new NQ Arbuckle is here! Couldn’t wait even a moment to play this one. Get it June 10.

Last night our beloved West End Cultural Centre said goodbye to the old hall and looked forward to the new with a stellar all-star recreation of the classic concert film, The Band’s Last Waltz. So many things came to mind, great memories, the amazing local music community, and how damn good The Band was. We paid tribute to The Band & friends for a good long while on the show.

And, at long last, June is here. Some songs celebrating the calendar’s turn for the better.
