I don't have any of those items described in resp:7 yet, and I'm not
sure when I will. But I thought you might want to know they were out.

Michelle Shocked played the Ark in July 2001, and at the time
the word was that her new album DEEP NATURAL would be out in October.
It's finally out this Tuesday, according to this review from the
Los Angeles Times:
http://www.calendarlive.com/top/1,1419,L-LATimes-Music-X!ArticleDetail-5
4851,00.html
(sorry the URL is wrapped)
In an interview I read on the web somewhere after last summer's concert,
Michelle said she was not opposed to reissues of the 4 limited-edition
CDs she put out after her split with Mercury Records. But she wanted a
"real" record company to do it, she didn't want to be her own record
company. The Times review, however, says that Michelle's new album
is on her own new label, Mighty Sound; perhaps she'll be willing to
reissue the limited edition stuff now.
It sounds like the DUB NATURAL cd she was selling at last summer's
concert is packaged as the second disc of the DEEP NATURAL album.

And this is a problem...why? :)
I'd like to see him one of these days...but this year isn't it. I'm already
doing 8 concerts in 7 weeks.

I've heard virtually nothing about Michelle Shocked since everybody (it
seemed) in ALPS dropped her in order to run after the Cowboy Junkies.

Some people here claim to be fans of "Great Big Sea", right? Anyway, I was
watching CBC News last night and there was a commercial for an upcoming GBS
television concert on CBC (channel 9 here in SE Michigan). Fans might want
to check their TV Guides.
(I thought they looked like N'Sync with acoustic guitars, myself. ;) )

Is that Channel 9 cable?

Ah, here we go, courtesty of http://www.cbc.ca :
Sunday 2/6/2002
20:00 21:00 Great Big Sea Live
Now it's an issue of deciphering the Candian date and time formats, so I went
to my usual TV listings site, http://www.zap2it.com and looked at June 2nd.
Um. Not much listed at all, for any channels. Oh well, it's probably 9:00pm
on Sunday, June 6th.

Seems like as Newfoundlanders they should start their concert on a
half hour, rather than on the hour..

What's on the half-hour to them is on the hour to us, so perhaps they
do ...

This coming weekend, August 9-11, is the Great Lakes Folk Festival in
downtown East Lansing, Michigan. This is the successor to the
National Folk Festival's residency in East Lansing for the previous
three years. I was really looking forward to this, but I don't
think I can navigate it on crutches. Web page for the festival
is: http://www.greatlakesfolkfest.net
Performers include Chicago-Irish fiddler Liz Carroll and Quebecois
band Matapat, plus former Solas singer Karan Casey.

Today's broadcast of "The Folk Show" on WCBN was being announced
as the last one. Carol Mohr was named in the roll of former
program hosts.
Today's host suggested that gentle prodding of the radio station
might encourage them to bring "The Folk Show" back at a future date,
but it's definitely gone for the summer.

Wow, this item has barely moved since I announced *last* year's festival...
Downtown East Lansing hosts the Great Lakes Folk Festival this weekend,
Friday August 8 through Sunday August 10. The biggest names at the
festival will be bluegrass/old-time legend Ralph Stanley (one performance
only, 8 pm Saturday), the Barra MacNeils (Scottish folk/pop from
Cape Breton), Irish-American singer Cathie Ryan, and African thumb-piano
player Stella Chiweshe. There's also Scandinavian music, Cajun,
traditional American folk, and probably more.
http://www.greatlakesfolkfest.net
The festival is located in the heart of downtown East Lansing; its
east edge is approximately where El Azteco is, and it stretches
west towards the bus station and Valley Court Park. Four stages, and
some craft and food areas.
The festival is free, though roving gangs of official fundraisers
will try to get you to donate some money.

I remember, when passing through Banff (or maybe Canmore, AB) earlier this
summer that they were advertising a folk festival with several performers
I've heard Ken write about (although right now Mary Gauthier is the only
one who springs to mind..) However, the festival's probably over by now..
