A couple of long-awaited new releases to kick off the show, from Ridley Bent and Sunparlour Players. We also got the Folk Fest lineup and the Junofest schedule this week, so plenty to chat about there. Lastly, there are a couple of great shows coming up this week, including the two night CD release for Del Barber’s new one, Prairieography!

Live music, new music, and some rockin' classics from the 90s. Huh? It'll make sense if you listen. I think.

It’s a busy week for shows, and there are some great ones in the weeks to come, so plenty to preview and celebrate today. We also pay tribute to the late great Jeff Healey, a day after the anniversary of his untimely death.

We’ve got a bunch of new & notable music to start today’s show, before shifting gears and going back into the past and digging through the big ol’ pile o’ vinyl records I lugged into the station for a vinyl revival show.

A slightly abbreviated episode tonight so we can dash off to see Mary Gauthier w/Scott Nolan & Joanna Miller! We celebrate the all-too-short career of a band we love, Joy Kills Sorrow, as they prepare to move on to other projects. We've also got some leftover Valentines' Day music courtesy of the Sweetheart compilation series.

February 16, 2014 - part 2 w/Mary Gauthier

Today a chat with one of the greats, and one we’re excited to be welcoming back to town this week, Mary Gauthier. She’s headed in to reunite with her frequent backing band, Scott Nolan & Joanna Miller, as well as working on a book and awaiting the release of a new album. Lots to talk about.

And following up on last week’s chat with Jaxon Haldane about The Willie P Bennett Legacy Project, we present our annual tribute to the late, great Willie P Bennett, who left this world on Feb. 15, 2008. I didn’t even know the guy, but I miss him terribly. There’s never a bad time to listen to a lot of his brilliant songs, but the anniversary of his death reminds me that I’ll do my best to never let the music be forgotten, and thankfully, folks like Jaxon are taking the cause to a whole new level.

February 1 marked 25 years since the tragic death of one of the great, unsung songwriting heroes of all time, Blaze Foley. His reputation has grown over the course of those years, thanks to friends and fans who have sung his songs and spread the word, but there’s still more to be done. We’re doing our part today with a retrospective of some great Blaze covers and of course some from the man himself. Plus, we’re joined by a very special guest, Blaze’s good friend and musical partner for many years, the great Gurf Morlix!

Pre-recorded today because of the Matt Epp @ Sunset Saloon show. There’s plenty of new music trickling in, another great house concert coming up, and the return of the always great Blue Rodeo. Plus, since we’re coming to you from the basement, it’s easy to pick out some old favourites that haven’t made the trip down to UMFM in a while.

Looking ahead to some great upcoming shows (Hatcher-Briggs CD release, Neilfest, etc.), looking back at some of the music we meant to play on Halloween, and looking around for some music to cheer us up as the weather turns for the worse. We’ve got it all!

November 4, 2010 w/Jeffrey Hatcher

Tonight, a visit by one of the finest songwriters to ever emerge from Winnipeg, Jeffrey Hatcher. In working with bands like The Fuse, The Six, Jeffrey Hatcher and the Big Beat, and the legendary Blue Shadows, Hatcher has cemented his reputation as one of this country's finest. Now, he returns with a great new disc featuring his brothers and longtime bandmates, Hatcher-Briggs.

Episode #364

It’s Halloween, and although (for a change) we had a full show planned with tons of spooky & scary tunes to get the ghosts & goblins ready for the big day, I played a dirty trick on myself, and it definitely wasn’t a treat, I left my iPod and the entire show at home! What happens when a totally technology-dependent radio host tries to make up a show on the spot? Now that’s scary! Luckily, Del Barber dropped by to chat about his upcoming shows, and we bestow an annual honour upon him.
