Episode Notes
The second hour of the August 2 Stew will be a live concert from Canmore Folk Fest with Empanadas Ilegales.
The hour we do have is busy and buzzy.
We salute James Jamerson, the Hall of Fame bassist -He played on almost every major song recorded at Motown, including 30 #1 Hits.
And remembering Garth Hudson, born on Aug 2, 1937.
So, in one hour you get Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Band, Sting, Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, The Beastie Boys, Linda Ronstadt and Early Scruggs,
The Doobie Brothers live and Madeleine Peyroux.
Steve Marriner
We finish with a drive through interview featuring Steve Marriner. He started the year on the road with Colin James (and they ain’t done yet)
His Hear My Heart tour kicked off in May and goes non-stop until Sept 1 on Salt Spring Island with his buddy Harry Manx.
Saturday night, Steve brings the groove to Bow Island.
We’ll talk to him backstage just before we run out of Stew and he walks out on stage.
Have a great Weekend
Next Week, The Stew is Live from the Edmonton Folk Festival.
