Georgian Bay Roots

March is Women's History Month, so this show is crammed full of 15 songs by some of folk music's finest contemporary musicians. A valiant effort, but so very many more could have been played if only there was more time.

Well, we're a year into this pandemic in Ontario and it feels in many ways like it's been a long year. To keep spirits up this week on the show we're talking all about Good News! Tune in to indulge in some good vibes from some great artists. Featuring music by Coco Love Alcorn, The AB3, Julian Taylor, Samantha Martin and the Delta Sugar, David Hawkins & Richard Yves Sitoski, Raven Meets Lion, Peter Katz, Lennie Gallant, Lisa Stethem, Rob Elder, William Prince, Robert Lane, Reid Jamieson and Summerfolk 45 alumnus Shane Pendergast!
