Lots of live music in our town this month and we heard a sampling tonight. 9 pm live mini-concert from Vancouver's own Tarkin, who celebrate the release of their 2nd CD "Charming to the Last" on June 6 @ St. James Community Centre. Oh summer, where art thou??
Muchos gracias to Gary and Andrea for doing such a fine job of holding down the Folk Oasis fort while I was away. Tonight's 8:30 interview was with Ike Sheldon of The Wilders, who are performing May 30 @ St. James Community Hall. Take care everyone and thanks, as always, for supporting campus and community podcasts!
Tonight: less talk, more folk! 8:30 interview with Rebecca Rowan of Langley, BC's Kensington Prairie. Hope you're enjoying spring, and don't forget your moms this Sunday!
Fun fun fun in the Oasis 2nite! 8:30 interview with Eugene Ripper, who's bringing his Fast Folk Underground series back to Vancouver next week. Surprise caller at 9! Spring fever in the air.. Muchos gracias for listening and happy Ascension Day y'all!
Two more hours of eclectic roots music! Many new wonderful releases and, to help celebrate Poetry Month, a classic track from Leonard Cohen. Bon appetit!
So many great new releases, so little time. Live phone interview with Malcolm Bauld, Montreal singer-songwriter doing a gig this Saturday at the Astoria. Lots of great live music happening in our town (it is spring, after all) so get out there and support it!
Nuthin' says "spring" like frogs, so we dipped into the classic "Sounds of North American Frogs" cd tonight along with all sorts of new releases. Have a great week, and remember: the April showers bring May flowers!
Spring's on its way - can you feel it?? We slam the door tonight on winter's ass and raise our glasses in protest to the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Jesus help us!
