Talking about the 45th North Country Fair and some of my favorite moments

After a two year absence, the North Country Fair returned this past weekend. This week I'm talking about that, and the final goodbye many people shared with my mother at the Fair.

This might be my chillest ep yet. Interviewed my big sister, was interrupted a little by a cute lil nephew of mine, and basically that's it. Looking forward to some localish events and planning a road trip in the near future has taken my mind space up this week. Next week, I might have a lot to talk about. North Country Fair is always eye opening. We shall see, thaanks for coming along on this weird ride.

Scott Cook joins me in Drift Pile, Alberta at the end of a great weekend at the first ever North Country Acoustic Music Camp. We talk about the North Country Fair and how it inspired him to pursue a life in folk music. - We talk about our mutual love for Woody Guthrie. - We talk about life as a full time musician over the past 14 years and how it has taken a toll on Scotts health. - Scott plays 3 really good original songs too!Check out scottcook.net to find out where you can see him live and sign up for his hobo travelogue!

I once more talk about my sadness about the North Country Fair not happening in 2021

I talk about what the Fair means to me, where it has been and things that have happened. I completely forget to say it is a solstice celebration, which is funny when you think about it, since that is the whole point.

Trevor, Murray and Shea from Scenic Route to Alaska stopped by the GRadio.ca booth at North Country Fair in between their two performances at the festival to talk about the festival and what's been happening with one of Edmonton's most happening bands. Scenic Route to Alaska is one of our favourite local bands and they talked a lot about their love for Edmonton and it's thriving local music scene.

K-Riz, Oozeela and the band stopped by The Dream Zine and GRadio.ca booth at North Country Fair to talk about their set and their time at the festival.

We talked about their set, the festival and what's in store in the coming months. We also chat briefly with Jonathan of Klusterfunk who plays saxophone with K-Riz to get an update about one of our favourite local bands.

The UnDad is away with the pagans at North Country Fair leaving Garglemax to do all the work. There is a little bit of everything, and everyone, in this glitter box.

This week on TransCanada Music West, we bring you R&B funk, soul and blues styling of pan-Alberta outfit, Boogie Patrol, live in CKUA's performance space. Boogie Patrol have performed hundreds of gigs since forming nearly a decade ago back in Edmonton.  They’ve headlined festivals including the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, North Country Fair, Pembina River Nights, and the Beaumont Blues Fest to name just a few. These are some very, very intense musicians that love to perform live, and this week you'll get a taste of the chemistry they've been bringing to live shows in this province since 2007. This set features Yuji Ihara on guitar, Nigel Gale on bass, Chad Holtzman on guitar and vocals, Emment VanEtten on drums and vocals, and Rott’n Dan Shinnan on harmonica and vocals.

Clawgrass Example - Using Clawhammer in a Bluegrass context. Playing Clawhammer in a Bluegrass setting requires the banjo player to understand all the complexities of playing in a Bluegrass Ensamble. You are playing as a "Unit" and everyone's job in the band is to do what ever it takes to make the featured soloist, be it a vocalist or someone taking a break on their instruments. It forces the clawhammer banjo player to play their banjo in several different ways instead of using just a right hand clawhammer pattern. Lead, Backup, Percsussive chopping, playing harmonies, counter melodies, Licks and tag licks, etc.etc. You have to live by the five "T's" Taste, Touch, Tone, Timing and Tuning and play with precision to get all the value from a note to get it to ring clean and clear. This can be accomplished with a banjo that is set up for this style of ensemble work like my Deering Clawgrass Model Banjos or like how Adam Hurt pulls his clean note playing and his great softer tone from his Enoch/Dobson old time banjos. The point is not how many notes that you put into a tune or song but making each note count for all the musical statement value you can get out of it. This tune is an old Bob Dylan tune that Emory Lester and I recorded about ten years ago on our Acoustic Rising Album. It is a good example of what I am talking about......and it is also an example of playing blues licks while playing in the relative minor key of C#minor against Emory's E major tuning using Double E tuning (Double C tuning capoed at the fourth fret) and playing out of the third fret above the capo to catch the C#Minor position. Enjoy!
