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 #1000
It's our 1000th episode, but in true TTBTGH fashion, we're going to forego the festivities for another week so we can do something a little special. In hour 1, we've got some exciting upcoming shows to preview. This show was recorded just before our friend Jim Bryson came to town for a show at my house and to head out to the Trout Forest Music Festival. I've said for years that Jim is a true cornerstone of my collection, and of Canadian music in general, because he's helped, inspired, and produced an incredible list of artists. To prove that, I dug up as many of the projects that Jim's been a part of as I could. In the end, I had more than 4 hours of material to fit into two hours of the show, so there's plenty left over, but I think it presents a pretty in-depth look at the remarkable career of one of Canada's true most valuable musicians. If you're looking for a more straight up "best of" Jim's own material, check out last week's show.
Next week, I plan to have something special to mark the 1000th episode.
** Note: This show was recorded before news broke that Robbie Robertson had died. Obviously, his influence on the music that I play on this show is immense, so we'll pay proper tribute soon. **

Today we preview a few exciting upcoming shows in Winnipeg as well as this year's outstanding Calgary Folk Festival lineup. (upcoming local events: https://tellthebandtogohome.com/upcoming-events/, Calgary Folk Festival: https://www.calgaryfolkfest.com/
In 2016, I put together a show full of love songs for some dear friends who were getting married. This time, it's my turn! It's been a whirlwind of change and joy since the big Tell the Band to Go Home 20th anniversary show at The Park Theatre in October, which is where I was re-introduced to someone who was very significant in my younger life, but I hadn't really seen in 23 years, Nicole Robson.
On Tuesday, it'll be the 25th anniversary of our first wedding, which happened on July 25, 1998, and we're going to celebrate by doing it all over again, but promise to do it right this time! The love and joy and hope that I once wished on others, but secretly thought wasn't possible for me, has now arrived, and the future looks very bright! My friend Dietmar may claim to be the luckiest man alive, but I'm making a run for the title. The songs in this show help express some of the immense luck and satisfaction that I'm feeling these days.
