Episode #1142 One of the greatest honours and joys of my life has been traveling to Germany (almost) every year for the past decade to be a part of the incredible Static Roots Festival. It's a gathering of passionate and beautiful music lovers hearing some of the most amazing music around, and I love every minute of it. Today's show is a celebration of 10 years of the festival and some of the highlights of the 8 festivals we've enjoyed prior to recording and expected highlights of the ninth, which will be behind us by the time you hear this. playlist: https://wp.me/p1lizT-hvc

Episode #1132 New music, discoveries, classics, and we pay tribute to the great David Wiffen, who left us on April 5. Wiffen didn't release a lot of music, but he wrote some timeless classics and possessed one of my very favourite voices of all time. playlist: https://wp.me/p1lizT-hrH

Episode #1130 A 3-hour deep dive into the musical career of the great Jon Dee Graham. Jon Dee cheated death a bunch of times, so it came as a shock that he had left us this week. He was one of the very best songwriters, storytellers, and guitar players who ever lived, and he was also a humble, decent, hilarious man. It was an honour to have him in the studio and in my home in 2014. He leaves behind many grieving family members and friends, but also leaves behind an incredible musical legacy. This is my attempt to sum up his extraordinary career. playlist: https://wp.me/p1lizT-hr2
