Playlist August 23 2010

It was nice to actually do a show together after a summer of solo efforts, and Brad shared co-hosting duties once again.  The sadness of summer's departure is softened by the promise of an abundance of fall concerts.  Today's show included just a sampling of some of the acts coming to town in the next few months.  CFCR has brought in a lot of great bands for our annual FM-Phasis fundraiser, so be sure to check out some of these shows at Amigos - Blitzen Trapper, Cuff the Duke, Yukon Blonde, and The Wooden Sky just to name a few.  There is no shortage of good music to make the return to school/university/shorter days/cooler weather more enjoyable!

Playlist for August 9, 2010

I love summer shows, when waking up at 5 am and hopping on your bike doesn't seem like such a chore.  My bro-in-law, Brad, willingly joined in this morning routine, and provided excellent company and music choices in Janelle's absence.  This might be our folkiest show to date, as both Brad and I were filled with ideas from this past weekend's Regina Folk Festival.  We also fit in some favourites from past folk festivals.  Brad suggested that an outdoor rooftop studio would be quite suited to days like this; CFCR, is this in the budget?
