Winnipeg singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger released a fabulous album "Fairweather" in 2015 with her twin brother Lucas as part of the contemporary folk duo Roger Roger. Since that time, Lucas has decided to take a break from writing and performing to focus on his work as a luthier with Beardsell Guitars, allowing Madeleine to develop her own career as a solo artist. Madeleine Roger's debut solo album "Cottonwood" features songs, written at home in Winnipeg and while on retreat at the family backwoods cottage, that reflect a female perspective on life and music. The album was produced with Lloyd Peterson (The Wailin' Jenny's, The Weakerthans, James Keelaghan) at Paintbox Recording in Winnipeg with true gender parity and equality a focus of the recording process. Madeleine Roger sat down with Folk Roots Radio at the 2018 Folk Music Ontario conference to chat about the new album. For more information about Madeleine Roger, visit madeleineroger.com. Music: Madeleine Roger "60 Years More", "Cottonwood" and "Soldier Song" from "Cottonwood" (2018, Self).

It’s a busy week on the concert calendar, so there’s plenty for us to preview, including the return of Elliott BROOD, Brock Zeman, James Keelaghan. Also on the schedule, we chat with Rose Cousins who returns to the West End and we were planning to be visited in-studio by The Wilderness of Manitoba; sadly, we had to enact the Fred Eaglesmith Clause on that one, when their gear was locked up at a venue in Brandon so they didn’t make it in time for the end of the show. They did, however, record some songs after the show, which you can listen to at the UMFM Live Sessions page.

Because I am away I have decided to post some old or CLASSIC episodes of the podcast to keep you all interested, hopefully.... This podcast first went live 9th August 2010 and has all the classic features. I won't spoil the surprises but I will post the original notes below. Please remember that this is over two years old and some of the information, websites etc, do not exist and/or may have changed. ENJOY   A frankly shambolic podcast, I even got the number wrong it IS number 43. What I DID get right was the music, they are all new artists to Is This Thing On. I played the songs ofMarch of Dimes buy their tracks on itunes here, Petersson & Fredriksson, Shinsei Kamattechan (courtesy of jpoplover), Leyli, We Sell Sea Shells, SRM and Steve Swindells. Apoc was talking about James Keelaghan and Paul Lane spoke about all the great music that was happening in and around Hampshire. His new website is now live so you should go and check it out. The lovely Kayko also made her debut by making her first ident for the cast with Clara Barker and Haunted Stereo making an ident only appearance. Very sorry about the quality of me this week, I'll do better in the future... Listen out for my out-takes at the end......

This week Steve Earle brings his Townesaoke tour to Winnipeg. I've long said that I'd rather hear Steve Earle do his own songs and hear Townes do his own songs, so this week that's exactly what we did. We also heard from Hayes Carll, James Keelaghan, Geoff Berner, and Rae Spoon who are all appearing in town soon. And, some new music that I've been dying to play (and a Fred Eaglesmith tangent it set me off on.)

It's been far too many years and one failed attempt, but finally, at long last, James Keelaghan drops by the studio to chat and sing us some of his amazing songs. He even asked me for a request (and wasn't bothered in the least by it) AND promised to come back! Now that's a show worth listening to again or catching up on if you missed it the first time.
