Returning to live broadcasts after a bit of a summer break, we've got a backlog of great new music, memories of some incredible shows and festivals we've attended, and a 4:00 Feature playing some rarities and collaborations featuring Josh Finlayson & Andy Maize of Skydiggers, who return to town this week after a lengthy absence!

Episode #1050
Every once in a while, it's fun to go digging through the CD library, the archives, and my failing memory banks in search of musical treasure that I haven't heard & played in a while. This episode is made up of 3 hours of great songs that don't come up in the rotation all that often, so they definitely deserve a refresher and another listen.

Episode #1048
Pre-recorded today because we still can't access the studio due to work going on at the university. Pre-recorded episodes sometimes allow me to explore a theme that I've been thinking about and spin some artists and songs that you don't normally hear on the show. Today's show contains a lot of stuff outside of the usual folky singer/songwriter fare. I'm pretty sure that some of you will hate some of it, but I bet if you give it a chance, you might just hear something you adore.
Today's show is an exploration of one offs and one hit wonders. These aren't your typical one hit wonders, these are either bands & artists that only released one project or an album or song that stands out in a band/artist's catalogue as being a bigger "hit" than the rest. It's very subjective and totally for fun and in no way meant as any kind of an insult to any of the bands/artists! After all, as the opening number tells us, one hit wonders have achieved something that very few do! These aren't major hits destined for hits compilations, they're beloved favourites that I enjoy revisiting over and over again. I hope that you will too!

Episode #1047
Another incredible Static Roots Festival has come and gone and once again, it was an amazing weekend of peace, love, and rock 'n' roll! There were so many highlights this year, and so many new artists and bits of information to learn about. Today's show is kind of debrief, with highlights, memories, and a lot of musical tangents to explore. This one is a little different than your usual singer/songwriter fare, but Static Roots and Tell the Band to Go Home are all about diverse music and ideas, so hopefully you'll enjoy my indulgence. Static Roots returns in Oberahausen, Germany, on July 11-12, 2025. I'll be there!

Episode #1046
It's time once again to play Namedropper, where each and every song is either about another song or songwriter, or mentions one or more of them! See if you can keep score at home and pick out all of the mentions; there’s a lot of them!
This show is a continuation of a theme I started in 2018. If you missed that first episode, revisit it HERE
Even after 5 hours of these so far, I've got a whole pile more, so I'll surely revisit this topic again in the future, so if you’ve got other suggestions, let me know!

Summer is finally here, and that means it's time for some amazing music festivals. Today's show is a preview of the two that I'm most excited about and that I recommend the most. First up is an artist-by-artist preview of the brilliant Static Roots Festival in Oberhausen, Germany. I'm joined by my dear friend and festival director Dietmar Leibecke to talk about the amazing music, atmosphere, and some of the ways that this festival spreads peace, love, and rock 'n' roll all year long, around the world! Check out the festival here: staticrootsfestival.com and help out the amazing work done by Doctors without Borders here: action.msf.ca
In hour 3, a leftover from a recent Fly with your Shadow episode, where I spoke with Evangeline Gentle about the experience of playing at Static Roots twice and let her in on what to expect as she heads to Trout Forest Music Festival for the first time. She'll also be making a stop in Winnipeg on her way (DETAILS). We'll hear music from just some of the amazing artists that festival director Devin Latimer has booked this year! Check out that festival and get your tickets here: troutfest.com

Episode #1044
The annual feature of all-Canadian music returns, with an extension of last year's fine playlist of All-Canadian Bangers, I had absolutely no trouble finding three more hours' worth, with no real repeat artists from last year! Three hours of great Canadian music, all killer, no filler. Turn this one up!
