Episode #1128

Today we catch up on a backlog of new music and get set for some big shows this week including a benefit show featuring The Fuse, a Times show featuring our old friend Mike Plume, and a show at T & A Garage with Joel Stewart! Joel's music was new to us when he visited with Mike last year, but I knew his name as the mastermind behind some amazing programming that aired on CMT Canada. Joel's IMDB page is a who's who of Canadian music as he's produced or directed specials, shows, and videos for a lot of our favourites. Today, we took a trip to Toronto to visit The Dakota Tavern for a few of the many great Dakota Sessions and we heard clips from a bunch of other great shows that Joel made possible!

February 1, 2026 pt. 1

New music & festival confirmations & dreams to start, then we play the 2016 game by looking back 10 years to a time when life seemed a little more simple and hopeful. I don't know how or where this 2016 trend started, but it was a good opportunity to look back at a very busy year with some real highlights. On today's show, we looked at highlights of shows & festivals, at least one disappointment, a few I couldn't attend, and a few that I can't believe I missed out on.
