Episode #1109

Celebrating 20 or so years of Winnipeg’s Park Theatre with highlights and memories of some of the many great shows that I’ve seen there, and a few that I regret missing. I’ve even got an hour of exclusive live recordings from shows I’ve attended over the years.

Thanks to Erick Casselman and his staff for more than 20 years of being a leader in our music and arts communities! The Park is a privately owned venue that continually improves the experience for performers, attendees, and our city in general. It’s really remarkable how much the venue has improved and contributed over the years. I look forward to many, many more great things to come at the Park, and their new sister venue, Sidestage, which has quickly become one of my favourite places to see a show!

Let me know if you’ve got favourite shows that you’ve seen at the Park or if I missed anything notable! Visit the Contact page to send me a message!

Sidestage: sidestagewpg.com

My rant, referenced during the show: https://tellthebandtogohome.com/2011/12/13/proud-to-be-among-the-5-support-live-music/

This is one of our standby series of episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
