Nice to see a band from Ottawa giving away some free music. In this case, it's a nice bluegrass EP entitled, "Make Work Project" by Huntley Slim. I'm not going to write much about it, because I got it via A Truer Sound who in turn got it via My Aimz is True, who wrote… Continue reading Huntley Slim – Make Work Project

The Patinettes + Show Announcement
http://widgets.jamendo.com/en/album/?album_id=92449&playertype=2008&refuid=643172I was looking for a catchy bluegrass band to link to (reasons why will become apparent below) - but did you know that Jamendo does not have a bluegrass tag? Of all the styles and genres on Jamendo.com, no one has tagged anything as bluegrass. Interesting! At any rate, I found a band that I… Continue reading The Patinettes + Show Announcement
Live Show Review: Capital Grass and the No Men
What better way to cap off a beautiful early summery day than to head out to the tavern to take in an evening of energetic live music? That's what I did Saturday night, when Capital Grass and the No Men played the Emldale Tavern (along with Slim & Popular and Jon Laurie-Beaumont).A rather lengthy review… Continue reading Live Show Review: Capital Grass and the No Men

And by "sorry" I mean "I'm trying to write more than just 'here's an album you might like' but that was still unexpected compared to what… Continue reading Bluegrass – From Russia??

Shake That Little Foot
Earlier this week I discovered some pretty cool bluegrass over at the FMA. I already linked to a compilation album with a few bluegrass tracks, but I also found an album that was all bluegrass, from start to finish.It's a self-titled effort from Shake That Little Foot, released in 2009. I guess it's nothing ground-breaking,… Continue reading Shake That Little Foot
Music for Treeplanters
Okay - this isn't a new album - sorry about that. But it is pretty cool! I was browsing the Free Music Archive last night and found this gem in the Bluegrass section: "Hi and Ho, We Plant Trees". According to the description, it's a 2008 compilation by Peppermill Records "done by treeplanters, about treeplanting".There are… Continue reading Music for Treeplanters
#9 – Canada Day Podcast
Good morning everyone, and Happy Canada Day! So far mine's been pretty great - I went to bed sick and woke up feeling fine this morning, and to discover I have some juice in the fridge that I didn't remember making. I've had this podcast waiting in the wings for a week now, and I've… Continue reading #9 – Canada Day Podcast
