Georgian Bay Roots

Jon kicks off 2019 with songs for a new year, an interview with Rose Cousins, music played in Grey County over the holidays, and two of the artists on the line up for Summerfolk 44 in 2019. There's also news about the Summerfolk Open showcase, Coco Love Alcorn's new not-a-choir thing, and ticket info for Summerfolk 44.

There are some things about this holiday that can bring you down, and some that can lift you up. We go looking for those and then end up by looking forward to the new year. I hope you enjoy this music, Kelly

Turn on the tree and turn down the lights to enjoy this week's episode of Georgian Bay Roots Radio. On this week's show we feature songs of the season and we're hoping to spread warmth and good cheer to our listeners. Season's Greetings from the team at Georgian Bay Roots Radio!

Dec 16 2018 Winter's Coming! by Georgian Bay Roots

When I was a youngster, we had a Christmas Concert every year in the little village of Kemble, Ontario where I grew up. I wanted to share that with our audience, so I put this show together to try to make it as close to what I remember a community Christmas Show was like. I hope you enjoy it.

It's blustery and cold out there, so why don't you listen in and let host Kailey Jane Hawkins warm you up with some great tunes made in and played in Grey and Bruce counties? On this week's show we talk about November gales, about the upcoming holiday season, and about beliefs (in things like Martin guitars and corgis). Featuring music by John Wort Hannam, Ruth Moody, Drew McIvor, Coco Love Alcorn, The Barra MacNeils, Jayden Grahlman, Eve Goldberg, The Mae Trio, The Good Lovelies, Gordon Lightfoot, The Jerry Cans, the Big Little Lions and Summerfolk 43 Youth Discoveries winner Esther's Family!
