Show Notes
Welcome to Episode 108 of Late Talks on Air for Sunday, February 2nd, 2025!
In honour of Groundhog Day – both the day and the movie where Bill Murray finds himself in a time loop ☺︎ – we rewind to the spring of 2011 to a live event I recorded in Stratford, Ontario. You may have heard of the town of Stratford – the hometown of Justin Bieber – the Stratford Festival – this gorgeous little town that sits geographically between Lake Erie and Lake Huron, privy to all the lake effect snow you can muster around this time of year.
Years ago, I launched an internet radio station called InRetro Radio. Popular in its time, InRetro was a roots/Americana music station featured on iTunes – where I would sometimes showcase live event recordings. In early spring of 2011, I received a call to cover an event at Foster’s Inn in Stratford, where at the time, Barry Payne of String Bone had organized a live concert series. And so, in May of 2011 – at Craig Foster’s request, I headed out to record this cosmic event!
Tonight, in true Groundhog fashion, we share a moment in time from that series – including performances by Barry Payne of String Bone – as well as Emm Gryner, Dayna Manning, and Jory Nash.
I hope you enjoy this – I’ll see you on the other side!
