Tell The Band To Go Home

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.

Celebrating great live music, including the battle between Ron Hynes and Old Man Luedecke/Jordie Lane, and the return of Peter Cash & Skydiggers! Other good stuff, too. Just listen.

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.

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.

It’s our pre-valentine’s day show, with the usual mix of sappy, lovey dovy stuff, as well as some of the off-kilter sad & depressing stuff that you’ve come to expect. We’ve got some swell new music as well as some shows to talk about, so stop on in and give us a good listen!

We’re all about the big shows and one big new project today. Previews of some stellar upcoming events, and then a chat with Jaxon Haldane about The Willie P Bennett Legacy Project, which aims to protect and promote the amazing, but under-appreciated legacy of the late, great Willie P Bennett. This is truly a wonderful project, and one that I can’t endorse highly enough. Please check it out: www.willieplegacy.com

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!

Today a visit with Romi Mayes & Micah Erenberg, who stopped in to chat about Romi’s songwriter extravaganza coming up at The Park Theatre.

At last we’re joined by Grant Davidson, who’s now going as Slow Leaves, and is building quite a buzz for his new EP and sound. Today he stopped by to chat about the project and play some of his terrific songs. We’ve also got more great new music to share.
