Our first live guests of the year, and what a great way to kick things off. Today we’re joined by Dylan Ireland & Melissa Payne, Express and Company. Their new disc Ontario is one of the best of the year so far, and Melissa got our attention with her fine self-titled CD last year, so it’s a real treat to get to know them and hear them perform live.

The show is pre-recorded this week because I’m off on my dream vacation, visit to Austin, TX, music central. Texas is the center of so much of the music we love, so there’s much to celebrate, and we’ll play you some songs from a few Texas greats tonight. Sadly, being there means that I can’t see NQ Arbuckle in Winnipeg, but we’ve got some songs for you tonight that will hopefully get you primed up for the show.

Steel Belted Standby Show 2012

This is one of those “standby” episodes that we put on the air in times when we can’t make it in and don’t have time to whip up something new. As such, it’s a timely one that doesn’t refer to anything new or upcoming, so it’s full of classics that stand the test of time. This one also attempts to pull out some of our favourites that we don’t hear often enough.
