Summer may be over, but there were so many great memories this year that should sustain me for a while. Today a loving look back at some of the highlights, as well as some great new music, some upcoming concert news, and in honour of the long weekend, an extra long episode with a solid set of classics after 4:00!

Episode #654

A collection of beautiful love songs inspired by Del Barber's recent wedding. I never know what to give as a gift, so I went old school and made a mixed tape. It sounded pretty good to me, so I decided to make a show out of it and share it with others. So here it is!

I don't know how it is, but over the course of the next week there are 6 days where there are painful concert conflicts. We'll weigh all of the matches on this episode and decide where we should be, if we can!

Today a look back at this year's Calgary Folk Music Festival, which happened last weekend. It was my first time there in a decade, and it had me wondering what took me so long to come back. Lots of highlights and sounds of the festival to share today! We've also got an exciting upcoming show to promote and some well-wishes for our favourite newlywed singer/songwriter!

Episode #651

Last week's look back at the previous weekend's 56th Mariposa Folk Festival was fun, but we didn't get through nearly enough of the great artists and moments I'd seen there, so we need another episode to look through some more of the Mariposa magic!
