It’s time to nerd out about some amazing upcoming shows! We’ll run down the Sunset Saloon summer series, and go totally overboard playing only 2 bands in the last hour of the show, but with a wealth of material between them, there’s plenty to love. In between, we’ve got a solid set of classics from folks we don’t hear often enough.

The Damnwells are back and on tour, and it rolls in to St. Paul, MN this weekend! We’re not going to pass up this opportunity, so T-Bar & I are heading down, and I know that other local folks will as well. In honour of that, we listen to some rockin’ Damnwells classics and travel back in time to our chat with Alex from the band in 2010. We’ve also got a whole pile of other great roots rockin’ classics, including a trip to Mississippi with Mike Plume for some snake grabbing!

New Damnwells!

I’m more than a little obsessed at the moment with the new track from one of my very favourite bands in the world, The Damnwells. They released a new single and the artwork today for the new self-titled record, and I can’t get enough! Plus, I found out that they’re playing May 16 in St. Paul – that’s a Saturday AND it’s May long weekend, baby!

The new record comes out April 14, 2015!
