It’s nice to remember that in summer, there’s more going on than just folk festivals. To remind us of that, we were visited by a couple of great live guests, who dropped by to sing and chat about upcoming non-festival appearances.

First up, singer/songwriter Kim Beggs came in all the way from the Yukon to appear on the show. Sure, she’s got a concert coming up on Aug. 10 with Christine Fellows and Kim Barlow, but I like to think that I’m the real reason she came to Winnipeg. I’m a dreamer, what can I say.

Then, another visit by one of our most frequent, and definitely one of our favourite guests, JP Hoe. Hoe’s got a show coming up on Aug. 16 at the West End, and he dropped by to plead for people to attend, and he gave his best sales pitch by singing and playing for us. I know I’m going to that show.

Then, my own plea for you to attend an upcoming show featuring one of the world’s great underrated songwriters, Australia’s Paul Kelly. Paul stops by the WECC on Wednesday, Aug. 9, and man, it’s gonna be good.

Some days, it’s really good to be me. This day was definitely one of those. This show featured a live, in-studio visit by the great singer/songwriter Bob Schneider from Austin, TX. Bob’s blend of pop, rock, hip-hop, and folk makes him one of my absolute favourites, and a perfect example of what this show is supposed to be all about. It’s diverse, it’s interesting, and best of all, it’s a lot of fun. He came in to chat and even played a few songs live for us. Very cool indeed.

This week marks the sad end of summer festival season. I’m off marking the occasion with one of the biggest and best of the season, The Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Big stars and big fun await. While I’m away, a pre-recorded show that should not disappoint. First up I’ll brag about some of the great acts I’m going to see in Edmonton, but then, a whole lot of great new music. Some from the mail bag, some brand new releases, and some that’s just new to me.

Imagine how confusing that will be for people who just tune in on the radio! HA!

Steel Belted Radio – July 27, 2006

KK and I took off out of town, to catch the Calgary Folk Fest, and we’re giving the old T-Bar a week off. He’s earned it. In our absence, a classic episode from the past. This one is from July 7, 2005, when we were away at the WInnipeg Folk Festival, so you’ll hear me yapping about last year’s festival. The show does, however, feature an interesting interview with Willy Porter, who was at last year’s festival. This is a super-sized show, a full 2 hours of music and pointless yammering! Enjoy!

We’re off at the Folk Fest this week, as all good music lovers should be, but nonetheless, the show must go on. We present some of the best of the Fest, for those of you heading out there and for those unfortunate souls who just need to know what you’re missing out on.

As part of the look at this year’s lineup, we had a chat with Willy Porter, a first time Winnipeg Folk Fest performer, and one that I know folks are going to enjoy.
