Mudge is the lone Roots Rock Weirdo on this April Fool's Day edition of Steel Belted Radio. KK does call in from the beach, but for the most part, Mudge is in charge with some April Fool's Day tunes, a look ahead at Jason Collett's Bonfire Ball, a musical trip to California, and some great new music recently acquired. We end off with the announcement of this year's Trout Forest Music Festival lineup, and it's a good one!

That wacky Robbie Fulks starts us off on a set of rootsy covers of 80s & 90s hits, but we dug ourselves out of that hole with some great new music. We chatted about the next great show at Sunset Saloon, the upcoming Bonfire Ball, and we paid tribute to the greatest rock band in history, 3 years after their last full concert.

KK and the T-Bar take the reins this week as the Mudge gets stuck at work. Don't worry, Mudge calls in near the end to straighten those kids out, but for the most part, they do a decent job of playing good tunes.

Halifax singer/songwriter Kev Corbett drops by to sing us some of his quirky songs and chat. We preview upcoming shows by the likes of Cameron Latimer, Kate Maki, and Brent Randall, and we play a special set for Lucy in honour of her upcoming unbirthday.

You know by now how excited I get when the Winnipeg Folk Festival lineup is announced, and this year, there is plenty to be excited about, with a ton of cool, interesting, unknown acts to look forward to. We spent plenty of time looking down the list and listening to some acts to catch this year. That only left a little time for upcoming shows and new music, but we got it in there!
