Tonight, we play a whole show of songs in the key of Mike (Plume, that is!) Our pal Mike is celebrating his birthday today, and he’s also headed to Winnipeg in June, so we’ve got lots to celebrate. Mike has been not only our namesake, but an amazing inspiration and a great friend of this show the entire time. Our theme song also provides a great roadmap for the type of music that we love to hear. In the song, Mike name checks some of our favourites, so tonight we listen to different versions of the song where he drops different names, and we play ’em all! A show chock full of songs that you don’t hear on your normal radio; good thing we’ve never pretended to be normal! Check out www.mikeplume.com for lots of great content, and join us for a roots rockin’ party June 24 at Times Change(d)!
