  • Georgian Bay Roots #258 Sep 5th 2021 (with Kelly)
    Folks, Summerfolk has come and gone for another year and it was ... well, it was different. But we all know why and there's no point belabouring that increasingly stale pandemic narrative. Host, Kelly Babcock takes you on one more tour of music by some of the performers of Summerfolk 46 with one additional song thrown in from our friend and performer from past Summerfolk seasons, Shawna Caspi whose album, Hurricane Coming, has just been released.. The SF46 performers we played tracks from this week included Julian Taylor, Madison Violet, Emm Gryner, Basset the Band, the Slocan Ramblers, Jaffa Road, Mimi O'Bansawin, Benjamin Dakota Rogers, Danny Michel, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar, and Terra Lightfoot. Enjoy.

  • Georgian Bay Roots #256 Aug 22 2021 (with Tom)
    In celebration of the little festival that could, and was: Summerfolk 46. Since it was impossible to catch all the acts, at all the venues, here's a handy sampler of a few of the great sounds the Georgian Bay Folk Society brought to Owen Sound this year.
    Travel by ear around the world with Jaffa Road, Moskitto Bar, Okan and Quique Escamilla. Revel in the shimmering guitars of Tony McManus & Julia Toaspern, the heavy riffs of Terra Lightfoot and the deep groove of Ray Bonneville. Rock out with The Skydiggers, get down with the bluegrass of the Slocan Ramblers, surround yourself in the voices of Crystal Shawanda and Evangeline Gentle. And from Kurt Swinghammer, a real special cut called 'Owen Sound'.
    These artists performed all over the scenic city for one weekend, and for one hour only they're all together on this episode of Georgian Bay Roots!
