Episode #1093

Normally the weekend I'd roll out the annual Canada Day spectacular, but instead a freewheeling (or "freeballing," if you ask a gym teacher) episode featuring birthdays, new music, a full preview of this year's exciting and eagerly anticipated Static Roots Festival, and a bunch of great classics!

June 22, 2025 pt. 1: Six Shooter Records Retrospective

Independent Canadian record label Six Shooter Records celebrated its 25th anniversary this week. I'm pretty sure that no other source has provided as much great material for this show over the 22+ years that it's been on the air. The label has helped to release and promote some amazing music that wouldn't have been given a chance elsewhere and has given opportunities to a lot of talented artists. Today's show is a highlight reel picking out some of my many favourites that have been released by and on the label over the years.

Today a chat with the good professor Devin Latimer all about this year's Trout Forest Music Festival lineup, some new music, and we feature the talented Whynot Jansveld, former member of one of the greatest bands you almost certainly never heard (but certainly should have), Harper Blynn, and now a hired gun playing alongside a long list of stars and currently touring with The Wallflowers!

Timely tunes, new music, nostalgia, classics, and a 4:00 feature showcasing some of the many, many recordings that my old friend Tannis Slimmon has made and appeared on. She's been a part of iconic classics, up and comers, and obscure recordings, and we tried to dive into a good cross section of it all as we prepare for a rare and long-awaited return to the province where she was born. She's coming for 3 shows next weekend in the area with her trio Boreal. I hope to see you out at one or more of them!

Episode #1088

Some healing summertime vibes today to kick things off, with an inadvertent Sunset Saloon Best Of, a new discovery that's ringing an unknown bell, some new music, an exciting upcoming show, and we send some love and healing feelings to a guy we've admired and followed for a long time, Vance Gilbert, as he faces a battle with cancer that'll keep him off stage for the time being. Here's hoping he can rest up, heal, and come back as great as ever!
