Hey everybody,

Ever have one of those weeks where every time you think you are done something, you go back and change it?  For some reason it never really seems finished? Well, that was this week's playlist, and to be honest, I am still not really really 110% sure this is it.

However, for now, at least, here it is. Took a lot of twists and turns...

Hey everybody!

Long weekend ahead and if you are heading out of town and listening to this, here's hoping it's the start of a great get away. If, however, you are enjoying a stay-cation like yours truly, forget the traffic, pull up a patio chair and let the music take you away.

Loads of Canadian music tonight.

Ruby Slippers July 24 7-8 pm Hillside Edition

Hey everybody!

As you know if you have been following this show for a while, Hillside is, at least for me, the tiny perfect music festival. Reusable plates and utensils, refillable water bottles, healthy food, organic beer, and a delightful roster of performers in a small beautiful conservation area with a lake to swim in when the sun is hot.

Ah, yes. This year was not to be for me. But it didn't stop me from putting together a taste of the lineup from this year's edition of Hillside.

There are some kinda surprising choices here, and some of the gentle folk you would expect from an event in the country.

So kick back, get comfortable and feel the peace.

Past The Stars ... By Divine Right *

Nighttime/Anytime ... The Constantines *

When She Arrived...Thus Owls *

Little Hand ... Braids *

Once a Day (ft. Sonna Rae) ... Michael Franti and Spearhead

Wrecking Ball ... The Galacticats *

New Believers ... Minotaurs *

Electric ... TEEN

The West Wind ... Ryley Walker

Hands In Dirty Ground ... Great Lake Swimmers *

Bluebird ... Doug Paisley *

Nathan Phillips Square ... Secret Heights (Terra Lightfoot) *

Everything I Saw ... The Weather Station *

Loose Heart = Loose Plan ... Moonface *

If we can't be there, this is the next best thing.

Thanks for listening.
