The Four Horsemen Are Coming! The Four Horsemen Are Coming!

Today’s show was pretty much devoted to one of the most amazing non-folk fest gatherings of songwriters this city has ever seen. The so-called “Four Horsemen” tour brings together four of the greatest of all time, and four of our favourites, Guy Clark, Joe Ely, John Hiatt, and Lyle Lovett, and we couldn’t possibly be more excited and couldn’t possibly pass up the opportunity to play some of their best.

Oh, and some new Can-con, cuz we have to and cuz it’s good stuff.

Wow, was that Grand Cariboo Opry good. ‘Nuff said.

This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary Band’s legendary Last Waltz. That group’s impact on music was huge, so we looked at some of their work and some great Band covers.

And, some musical birthdays, including our pal Geoff Berner, the late great Stan Rogers, and Randy Newman.

November 12, 2006 – Barney Bentall

Christmas came early with the announcement of the brilliant Grand Cariboo Opry show coming up at the WECC. With so many of our favourites on board, we just have to celebrate with some songs. We were also joined by the leader of the whole cavalcade, the Legendary Heart himself, Barney Bentall.

Today is the birthday of two great Canadian singer/songwriters, Sarah Harmer and ol’ Neil Young, so we had to celebrate that with some covers, guest appearances, and classics.

October 22, 2006 – Ken Beattie, Dustin Bentall, John Ellis, and Leeroy Stagger!

Sometimes a guy just gets lucky and ends up in the right place at the right time. Today was such a day. With the Western Canadian Music Awards & festival in town and a lot of great musicians hanging around all weekend, there wasn’t much I could do but invite a bunch of them in, and luckily for me, a few of the greatest agreed to drop by. What happens when you throw Ken Beattie of Radiogram, Leeroy Stagger, John Ellis, and Dustin Bentall in a room together with a few acoustic guitars. Magic. Tune in and find out for yourself. This was a show not to be missed and not to be forgotten. Thanks so much to my great guests for making this possible. Truly an amazing way to cap off a great weekend of music.

Some days, it’s really good to be me. This day was definitely one of those. This show featured a live, in-studio visit by the great singer/songwriter Bob Schneider from Austin, TX. Bob’s blend of pop, rock, hip-hop, and folk makes him one of my absolute favourites, and a perfect example of what this show is supposed to be all about. It’s diverse, it’s interesting, and best of all, it’s a lot of fun. He came in to chat and even played a few songs live for us. Very cool indeed.
