Tell The Band To Go Home

Steel Belted Radio has been on UMFM every Thursday for over 10 years now! We kicked it off with a special visit from the great Ron Sexsmith and it’s been an adventure ever since. Could something this unpredictable last another 10 years? Only time will tell. Until then, let’s celebrate 10 great years of guests, music, and losing friends.

It’s Banjo Bowl weekend at the big goofy stadium just a punt from the station, so we celebrate with some of our favourite banjo pickin’ singer/songwriters. We’ve also got some great new releases and some exciting shows coming up, which sadly don’t feature much banjo content.

We’ve got some stellar new releases and some upcoming show news to kick things off, before we bring it right back down for some songs for my teacher friends who are singing the back to school blues.

Does anybody actually read these descriptions? Seriously? Here’s what you need to know: I play great music, say stupid things, and press the wrong button a lot. Sometimes Ron calls in and says some weird things. I almost always make fun of Jared. That, my friends, is a recipe for success. So tune in. Or don’t. Whatever.

Today’s show is inspired by a bunch of "new" classic country compilations, with some twangy honky tonk sounds from some of the greats. We’ve also got a sonic preview of the Big Star movie and an upcoming show.

The new music has been piling up again, so a listen to some of the great new releases. We’re super excited about having Tannis Slimmon and Lewis Melville in town soon, so a small listen to their amazing work. Coming up in Winnipeg is a benefit for the great Amos Garrett, so a bit of a look at his wonderful contributions. Lastly, a late-breaking tribute to Cowboy Jack Clement; RIP.
