Episode #845
This is the weekend when we'd normally be off in Germany enjoying our beloved Static Roots Festival, but alas, COVID has ruined everything. Luckily, we've got some new music from festival friends & past performers to enjoy. We've also got another batch of great new releases to tell you about, and there have been so many this year that I thought we'd take some time halfway through the year to play some songs from some of my favourite 2020 releases thus far.

Episode #843
This is another in our collection of timeless Standby episodes, which you may hear again sometime when I'm not able to put together a new episode for whatever reason. I'm pretty sure you won't mind because this is a pretty good one.
Playing great Canadian music is a main mission and joy on this show because I really believe that the best music in the world comes from right here. Every week I try to stack the show with a lot of great homegrown music, but this week, in honour of Canada Day, we're 100% all Canadian and proud of it.
This episode is kind of like a beginner's guide to the best of Canadian music, or a Canadian Greatest Hits, if you will. It aims to pull together some of the most essential Canadian music ever made in an attempt to show the strength and breadth of our music. We look at some of the early giants whose shoulders today's artists stand on, and a few contemporary artists who are making timeless music bound to be looked back on in years to come.
I can't pretend to put together a comprehensive list in just 2 hours, but I think this one covers a lot of the most important bases. Please let me know what would be on your list of essential Canadian music!

Episode #840
We held back a bit on the new music last week for our Minneapolis themed show, so we had a bit of a backlog to clear out today and it filled up pretty much the entire show outside of a couple of timely tunes and some music as heard on TV.

A smaller crop of new releases this week leads things off, but we do have the great privilege of premiering some amazing new music from Winnipeg's own Sean Burns, created in isolation and coming out on the next BandCamp day. Most of today's show is a love letter to a city that I love and visit often, Minneapolis, MN. The city has been at the forefront of racial tensions in the USA this week. Our hope is that things can move forward and get better without further violence. Sending some peace, love, and rock 'n' roll to all!

Episode #836
The wave of new music overwhelmed us again, and some of it was pretty rockin' for your usual Tell the Band to Go Home episode, so the second hour reclaimed the moniker of Steel Belted Radio. We also paid tribute to another great artist who left us this weekend and retired another overused song title.
We here are the show wish to thank and send our love and admiration to all of the mothers out there who make all things possible. We appreciate and respect you all not just on Mother's Day, but it is a good reminder to let you know how important you are!
