  • Georgian Bay Roots #345 May 28, 2023 (with Tom)
    Georgian Bay Roots says goodbye to May 2023 by reaching for a Gordon Lightfoot deep cut about "the high side of the Bay" and the legendary Stars on 54 reboot of his 'If You Could Read My Mind'. We share some big news from the Beverly Glenn Copeland camp + his new single and talk up local appearances by Daniel Lanois, Jeremy Dutcher and The Sadies by spinning a track of each.
    This week's Georgian Bay Roots also features a Slint cover by local teen and music teacher Josh Bergeron (just like The Who said, the kids are alright!) and, since the timing is right with the Grey Highlands rodeo happening this weekend and for many other reasons besides, a rollicking number from Meaford songsmith Bill Monahan.
    The episode also takes a moment to mark the passing of Josh Arsenio, erstwhile Dromore resident that he is, by having a listen to his band Honest I's. Also listen in to find out what SLEDD (musical progeny of Summerfolk staple James Gordon) really thinks about spring and to discover the local 50 Cent connection!

For 8 years we were a weekly radio show based in Owen Sound, Ontario and presented by the Georgian Bay Folk Society. We shared music made in and played in Grey and Bruce counties with folk and roots music from across Canada and around the world thrown into the mix.
