Episode 261: Joanna Chapman-Smith

Jul 06 2016

One of our favourite people, singer-songwriter and storyteller, Joanna Chapman-Smith joins us on this episode to chat about her forthcoming album of modern folk tales, “Elon & The City of Stone”. Joanna also plays three songs live for us. And, as always, we take a look at some of the latest new releases.

Among the new music we played this week were the latest albums from Erin Costelo, Ginger St James and Robin Lee Garber. We also gave a spin to “Milky Way”, the latest single from London ON based singer-songwriter Joe Borowsky.

That’s all we have time for this week. You can find the full playlist with artist links below. Please share your love for all the great folk and roots music out there. Thanks to all the artists who share their music with us, and thank you for listening. We have a lot of great music to bring you on future shows. I hope you’ll join us!
