Junos are in town and we acknowledge them tonight. Not so much the cheezy televised awards, increased blow 'n hookers, etc. that the Music Industry brings -- but the fun stuff like Junofest (lots of great music in local clubs) and Juno Cup (Rockers v. NHL stars hockey!). Check out the Nickelback-free nominee action and have a great weekend!

Welcome to a special edition celebrating some of the fine women who have helped form Vancouver's vibrant and diverse roots music scene. We've even tucked in a few 'exes' like Neko Case and Oh Susanna. Give the women in your life big hugs this week!

Our musical travels took us far tonight: from Quebec to Nashville, Prince George to Ecuador, with layovers in Denton, TX and Victoria, BC. Enjoy, and thanks again for supporting our fine little station!

This pre-Valentine edition of Folk Oasis features my sparkling guest co-host, Karen Pighin. Our somewhat vague theme was "lothario" and at 9 pm a real live one phoned in! ;-)
Thanks for tuning in and a lovely Feb. 14 to you all.

Another eclectic evening of Vancouver-and-beyond folk,
including an interview at 8:30 with Joanna Chapman-Smith. Her CD release show is Friday at the Ukrainian Hall - should be spectacular! Take care, stay warm and unfoggy, and thanks so much for your support.
