Episode #1089

Timely tunes, new music, nostalgia, classics, and a 4:00 feature showcasing some of the many, many recordings that my old friend Tannis Slimmon has made and appeared on. She’s been a part of iconic classics, up and comers, and obscure recordings, and we tried to dive into a good cross section of it all as we prepare for a rare and long-awaited return to the province where she was born. She’s coming for 3 shows next weekend in the area with her trio Boreal. I hope to see you out at one or more of them!

Episode #1088

Some healing summertime vibes today to kick things off, with an inadvertent Sunset Saloon Best Of, a new discovery that’s ringing an unknown bell, some new music, an exciting upcoming show, and we send some love and healing feelings to a guy we’ve admired and followed for a long time, Vance Gilbert, as he faces a battle with cancer that’ll keep him off stage for the time being. Here’s hoping he can rest up, heal, and come back as great as ever!

It’s the final day of UMFM’s Pledge-O-Rama and I managed to once again weasel myself in between Joe & Twisty on The Wee Hours and Cretin Rob on Cretin Radio for 3 hours of bangers for breakfast on Mudge in the Morning! It’s our last official day to ask for your help before we go back to doing what we do without asking anything of you. If you feel like showing your support and encouragement, your donation, no matter how seemingly small, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who donated and once again made Tell the Band to Go Home‘s pledge drive a smashing success! I really appreciate hearing from so many people.

If you missed out, there’s always time to get your name on the list:
