August 20, 2023 pt. 1: 20th Anniversary Live Recording

Episode #1001

To commemorate the 1000th episode of the program, I present the recording of a live event that we put on in October of last year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the show. We recorded a live version of Tell the Band to Go Home at The Park Theatre with special guests Keri Latimer, Nicky Mehta (The Wailin' Jennys), and JP Hoe, three longtime friends and favourites. I had a conversation with each, then they played some of their songs. As usual, we also heard some new music and talked about some exciting upcoming events.

Episode #985

What used to be pretty commonplace on this show has become all too rare, as we haven't welcomed a live performer into the studio to chat and play some songs, I believe since Pledge-O-Rama, Oct. of 2019! What better way to get back in the swing of things than by welcoming the great Martyn Joseph back for another wide-ranging conversation and some terrific live songs! As if that weren't enough, chauffeur to the stars and former UMFM co-host T-Bar was along for the ride. We also had time for a few new songs, including Record Store Day finds, and a Blair Packham birthday appreciation set!

Episode #735

An exciting episode indeed, as we welcomed back to the studio one of my very favourite guests and songwriters of them all, Stephen Fearing, who dropped in to chat and sing a few songs. What a treat! We also had another exciting show to preview and some great new music.

Episode #663

UMFM’s annual Pledge-O-Rama is here! This is the time of year when we appeal to you, the listener, to help us keep alive and get better at what we do. We need your help to pay the bills and help us with special projects, like this year’s goal of enough money to buy a new transmitter for the station! But it’s not just all about the money, we’ve got prizes and incentives to give away, requests/dedications for our supporters, and a very special live guest, Jaxon Haldane, who dropped by to chat and play some songs!

Episode #605

Today, a special blast from the past episode as I’m joined by the person who gave me my start on UMFM and my time slot, Lisa-Marie Serafin. She hosted Songwriters’ Circle on UMFM bi-weekly, and I was her borad operator/co-host. When she moved off to Quebec, I eventually inherited the slot and have been firmly entrenched ever since. Before hosting the show, Lisa-Marie was primarily a fine singer/songwriter, and she’s slowly making a return to performing. It was a pleasure to have her back on air and in the booth after 12 years!
