El sábado de la semana pasada, 15 de febrero, grabamos en riguroso directo un programa con algunos de los participantes en la quinta edición del Folk Fest Región de Murcia. Dijimos ayer al acabar La Tarataña con la entrevista a Los Hermanos Cubero que hoy lo emitiríamos, y así lo hacemos. Tanto las charlas con cada uno de los participantes como sus respectivas intervenciones musicales se grabaron de corrido y sin interrupciones. Y tal cual lo emitimos, sin trampa ni cartón ni post producción.Así que con los inconvenientes del directo, he aquí todo el programa que grabamos de tirón el sábado 15 en Murcia:1.- El Pantorrillas, “Amores sin nombre” (con Juan José Robles)Charla con El PantorrillasCharla con Carlos Núñez2.- Carlos Núñez, “For Paddy”Intro con Ismael Clemente3.- Ismael Clemente, “Mayo de Valdetorres del Jarama”Charla con Ismael ClementeIntro con Juan José Robles y Carolina Palencia (Mixtura)4.- Mixtura, “Bolero de Fuente Alamo”Charla con Juan José RoblesEntrevista con Alicia Baltasar (Directora Artística del Folk Fest Región de Murcia)Intro con Carmen María Martínez Salazar5.- Carmen María Martínez Salazar, “Los santos fueron testigos”Charla con Carmen María Martínez SalazarEntrevista con Zimi Matilla (Castora Herz – Samain Music)Intro y charla con Jaime Lafuente (Presentador de todos los conciertos del Festival)6.- Jaime Lafuente-Torrezneros, “A la rueda de los alimentos” (con Juan José Robles, Ismael Clemente y Carmen María Martínez Salazar)Charla con Manuel Luna7.- Manuel Luna, “Vengo de moler/La zarza ardía”Entrevista a Esperanza Lamet (Celtic Seas)8.- Celtic Seas, “P stands for Paddy”Escuchar audio

Igual que ayer, hemos seguido hoy estrenando discos en La Tarataña, además de hablar mucho rato, como también anunciamos ayer, del Folk Fest Región de Murcia que en unos días llega a su quinta edición, y donde nos encontraremos el sábado que viene grabando un programa en directo. Y reconocemos un error, hemos puesto a Casapalma como el grupo de la península ibérica que participará en el próximo Folkarria a celebrarse en finales de abril en la Alcarria madrileña, cuando en realidad es Delameseta. En programas venideros, como queda tiempo, lo subsanaremos.El repertorio de hoy domingo ha sido éste:1.- Xaloq, “Velatori de Consuelet” 5:23, “Cançó de bressol” 5:22 y “Quan veja que ja no cante” 9:062.- Deninghures, “En fin que mais da” 3:003.- Casapalma, “Aunque tú no me quieras” 2:404.- Los Hermanos Cubero, “Como si alcanzar pudiera” 3:315.- Torrezneros, “Vayas donde vayas” 1:426.- Manuel Luna, “De Motilleja al pueblo de Barranda” 4:047.- La Banda Morisca, “Alhama” 4:128.- Carlos Núñez, “A irmandade das estrelas” 4:079.- Mujeres con Raíz, “Tío Pep” 3:52Escuchar audio

The guys are back with a Monday episode of The Real Life Podcast as Tyler, Jay, Wanye and special guest Liam sat down for an hour to talk about their lives and of course, a little bit of Oilers hockey.To kick things off, the guys talked about the wild weekend that went down in YEG. The Edmonton Riverhawks won their first ever playoff game and while Wanye was excited for the team, he took issue with their 20-minute post-game firework show. The Edmonton Elks won a second consecutive football game, which is wildly impressive considering their recent track record. Liam was in attendance and told us what they're doing differently to up the general atmosphere of Elks games. And of course, it was Folk Fest weekend. Tyler and Liam really didn't understand the lore behind the festival, but Jay and Wanye got them up to speed and Jay talked about why it's his favourite event that happens in the city.To end the show, they talked about the news that Evander Kane could be going on LTIR to start the season. Tyler tried to explain the different ways that the Oilers could utilize his cap space and what else the Oilers need to do in order to be cap compliant. Jay was just happy that the team is finally abusing the system.

Is there anything better than listening to your favourite band while sitting outside in the sun with friends, family, and fellow music-lovers? Very few experiences can top the feeling you get from soaking up fresh air and soundwaves simultaneously. So, as summer approaches, we bring you "Festival Season" - a special 3-part series on music festivals.  Music festivals appear to pop up out of nowhere - in a city park, in the green space beside a lake, or on a farm next to a river. All of a sudden, a field becomes a dance floor for a main stage; or a leafy forest grove transforms into an intimate music workshop. It seems instantaneous, but a festival takes months—and sometimes years—to plan and produce. Staff and volunteers work tirelessly to bring music fans the most entertaining, uplifting, safe, and memorable experience possible. In this series, we talk to a few of the wonderful people that work around the clock to bring us these magical events.  Part 1 - SPENCER SHEWEN: Mariposa Folk Music Festival & Riverfest EloraSpencer is the Artistic Director of both the Mariposa Folk Festival and Riverfest Elora.  Throughout his many years working with music festivals, he's learned that producing a successful music festival is a juggling act, a game of strategy, and an endurance test. But the payoff is big and joyous and filled with amazing music and good times! In this conversation, Spencer talks about his experience with both festivals, some of the artists that he's excited about presenting this year, and how a cardboard Tony Danza ended up touring with The Beaches rock band.

Jeff was joined by John-Henry Heckendorn from Ship Creek Group. They discuss his trip to Juneau to ski and attend Folk Fest, his wedding last summer, how his wife, Katie Scovic, is now the campaign manager for Suzanne LaFrance's mayoral campaign, his thoughts on the upcoming Anchorage mayoral run-off, some of the problems facing Anchorage and Alaska, the upcoming legislative races later this year, the ranked choice voting ballot repeal, and the chances Representative Mary Peltola (R - Alaska) has for re-election. 

The Folk Festival is working on a new plan that it hopes will break down the old barriers between the so-called beer tent, and the rest of the family-friendly festival ground. Bob Hallett joined us this morning for his thoughts on the experiment.

It's time for the final installment of this year's in-person interviews I conducted at the legendary Newport Folk Festival which took place in Newport, Rhode Island, July 28-30. First up, my friends Jeff Gorman and Jake Cochran of Illiterate Light stopped by to chat with me about the Bike Stage that they hosted, curated and operated. Jeff and Jake -- a hard-core rocking two-piece by day -- have created a sustainable and entirely off-the-grid solution to set a shining example of how we can mitigate the environmental impact of the live music ecosystem. This is the embodiment of Think Globally, Act Locally!!Next up, I spoke to Jake Ewald of Slaughter Beach, Dog, a Newport Folk first-timer whose alt-folk brand of artistry was a perfect fit for the Harbor Stage audience. I talk to Jake about his powerful songwriting and how very unexpected it was for him to even be at Newport Folk. We share tons of laughs as Jake's comedic timing is spot-on. Slaughter Beach, Dog's new album Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling will be out September 22.I also had the pleasure of sitting down with Erich Huffaker and Mariam Diakite of Orchestra Gold, a band with roots both in Oakland, CA as well as Mali, West Africa.  I talk with Erich and Mariam about the African Psychedelic Rock movement and how African Dance is integrated into the ethos of this band, whose mission is to "spread healing and community through the universal gift of music." Amen. And to close down the 2023 Folk Fest series, I had a gem of a convo with Newport natives Evan St. Martin and Dave Sarazen of Laden Valley.  The first act to hit the stage this year, it was a surreal experience for sure, and they both related to me just how incredibly special it was for them, after years of attending the festival as fans, to actually be up there performing one of their rare live shows. This was an example of the pure joy of live performance for both fans and the artists themselves.It has truly been an honor to bring all these amazing artists to the Roadcase audience. Newport is a truly special experience for artists and fans alike, and I'm glad I can bring some of that excitement and musical joy to all of you.  See you all at Newport 2024, and in the meantime, Rock On!!

Thanks so much for dropping by the Three Things podcast. Each week from my basement hideout in west Edmonton, I put together an unremarkable list of the three things I noticed I noticed that left behind some happiness or gratitude. It's a way to keep noticing those things. Kinda circular. This week's list: 1. Sounding familiar - Hear ye, hear ye! The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is back. The sounds of the professionals were, as always, wonderful. But there were other welcome notes, too. 2. Segments – I am still trying to piece together where my thoughts went at a construction site. . 3. Whales – After a few days in the sun at the Folk Fest, you start seeing things! The music in the podcast is original. It comes from the composing heart and mind and the piano-playing hands of Brendan McGrath. The end bells are courtesy Edmonton metal sculptor and humanitarian Slavo Cech. I'm at glenn.kubish@gmail.com Boom.

The Regina Folk Fest is back! We sit down with the Josh Haugerud to talk about his fave festival memories, the artists you love and new music to discover, all happening in Regina from August 5 to 7.
