Today a celebration of the birthdays of Luke Doucet and Slaid Cleaves, as well as a belated tribute to Stan Rogers, a week after the 30th anniversary of his death (oops.) And the great new music just keeps on coming, with a couple more stellar summer releases.

Some great new music, exciting upcoming shows, and a trip back to the 90s.

It’s a new music kind of day today, and we’ve got a wealth of it, including a bunch from some of our favourites. I also discovered some "new to me" music this week, and that’s just as fun to share. And, only one big show on my calendar this week, but it’s an interesting one, so a preview is in order.

Today a long overdue in-studio visit by former Winnipegger, Matt Epp. He’s been on quite a roll the past few years with his Amorian Assembly, and their new album is a winner. Good to have him in to chat all about it. As usual, we’ve got all of the new music and classics you could shake a stick at, if you were to shake a stick at music. (That’s pretty weird, but if you’re so inclined, go for it.)

It’s ramblin’ old Bobby D’s 72nd birthday tomorrow, and what else could we do but pay tribute in a way that only we can (or dare to.) There’s some reverence and some ridiculousness, of course. We’ve also got some world class Winnipeg music that’s every bit as great as that old coot, and a couple from the Canadian Bob Dylan (only better)!
