Thinking of Spring19 Apr, 2018 | 1:33:54 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
While it may not look much like spring outside at the moment, our calendars say otherwise. So i thought it was time to play a yaffle of songs and tunes about spring, just to lighten our spirits a little. Music from Denmark, Sweden, California, St. John's, New Zealand, the UK, and the Bay of Islands.
Music about fools (as opposed to foolish music)06 Apr, 2018 | 1:29:39 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond I feature only music that large corporations have paid me to play. Kidding...! That was a late April Fool's joke - and I play a swath of music related to fools, from brilliant players like Brave Combo, Harv, Jackie Washington, the Bad Livers and Flogging Molly. Also, I have a few new releases...
A ramble through recent acquisitions30 Mar, 2018 | 1:34:31 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond, we feature music of up-and-coming Canadians, traditional Irish, upstart Scots, roaring Cape Bretoners, quirky Argentinians, fundamentalist Americans, classic 1960s-refugee protest singers, and tireless but prolific singer-songwriters. Oh, and a bluegrass band made up of Dominicans (the religious order, not the country). Yes, you read that last sentence correctly.
Juno nominees for routes and traditional album of the year25 Mar, 2018 | 1:36:16 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond (RBB), we feature the Juno nominees for the Roots and Traditional recording of the year. Cape Breton jigs, PEI power-trad, Saskatchewan goth-country, neo-Folklore, and more Cape Breton jigs. Looks like just another Canadian roots and traditional crop of releases! That, and a couple of African bands with staying power, a few young UK...
The St. Patrick's Weekend show17 Mar, 2018 | 1:40:56 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
This week on Routes & Branches & Beyond, it is an all-Irish show, in honour of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day weekend. "But Ivan," you query, "how is that any different from your usual shows, when you play lots of Irish music?!" That's a fair point, I agree. But join me for a variety of tracks from the quiet (e.g.,...
Folk awards09 Mar, 2018 | 1:34:58 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
In anticipation of the upcoming Juno awards later this month, tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond I play some of the nominees and winners from last year's celebrations. The Fretless, the Strumbellas, Ten Strings and a Goat Skin, the East Pointers and more. Plus, some electro-tango and a musical discourse on why one should always have cows around.
The music of Wales (not to be confused with Whale music...)03 Mar, 2018 | 1:36:30 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
As you likely know, the 1st of March is a national holiday for Wales (the country, not the ocean-dwelling mammal). Join me on Routes & Branches & Beyond for a broad swath of Welsh music. Triple harps, pibgorns and lots of songs with words that have far too many consonants in odd places (for my limited abilities). Put a leek...
Afro-celtic excursions24 Feb, 2018 | 1:33:58 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond, I get to mis-pronounce song titles in a half dozen languages. Music from Canada, Northern Ireland, Argentina and a feature on artists who have fused African and Celtic sounds. Oh, and a sappy cover of a Rod Stewart anthem.
Chinese New Year and revisiting a Beatles classic15 Feb, 2018 | 1:33:42 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond we celebrate Chinese New Year, pay homage to the Beatles record "Rubber Soul," listen to not one but two Quebecois tunes, and learn to appreciate Celtic-Indian fusion. At least, I hope you appreciate it....
Skiffle and more11 Feb, 2018 | 1:34:50 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Ever heard of "skiffle?" Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond I give a mercifully-brief introduction to that genre of music. Plus, a song or two about love in time for Valentine's day, a gentle waltz for winter, a bit of social conscience, and a reassurance (in song) that no bankers will be left behind (in case you had been...
A celebration of farming03 Feb, 2018 | 1:37:15 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
In honour of this week's NL Federation of Agriculture meetings, tonight's Routes & Branches & Beyond features songs about farmers. Also, music regarding ploughboys (roving, jolly, and otherwise) and a traditional Icelandic sheep blessing.
Appreciating brass26 Jan, 2018 | 1:35:28 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
As the old joke goes, "what is the range of a tuba?" The answer: "about 20 metres, if you have a good arm!" Brass players get no respect. They are often unfavorably compared to government bonds (except that the latter WILL eventually mature and make money). But we change all that disrespect tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond, when...
The music of humans23 Jan, 2018 | 1:16:10 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight, on Routes & Branches & Beyond, you can listen to the usual somewhat-random mix of the music of humans, from here and there. Oh, and an attractive Christmas tune (it IS almost December, after all).
Slow tunes and pirate songs23 Jan, 2018 | 1:37:22 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on "Routes & Branches & Beyond," you'll hear the slowest version of "Red Haired Boy" ever recorded, gourd banjos, Czech bluegrass, pirate songs, Cuban Christmas, French schottishes, Irish old-time music and a track from Robert Plant's new release.
New releases and more of the usual unusual23 Jan, 2018 | 1:36:37 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight I have a small stack of new releases - from the East Pointers, the Waterboys, Robbie Bankes, Trad Attack and Feast of Fiddles. And from Trent Severn - a new CD that features a tender song about our own local boy, Keelan Purchase!
The holiday music show23 Jan, 2018 | 2:03:11 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight be sure to settle in (on a snowy western NL evening) and listen to a two-hour holiday-themed show. I'll have seasonal songs in a variety of formats, including klezmer carols, part of the Nutcracker played on power tools and a version of "O Holy Night" that you may never forget.
A show about new things23 Jan, 2018 | 1:36:31 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight is all about "new." New shoes, new pants, new hats, new waltzes, new chances and even "new and improved" people. Oh, and a new year.... Bluegrass, cajun, latin, celtic and more.
Music of January (the month)23 Jan, 2018 | 1:39:24 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond, we have a little celebration of the month in which we are living at the moment. Songs and tunes about January, mixed in with the usual new releases and old chestnuts from celtic and beyond. Music you likely won't hear anywhere else... and you decide if that is a good thing or not!
The Old and the New22 Jan, 2018 | 1:34:26 |
EN | Ivan Emke | Routes & Branches & Beyond
Tonight on Routes & Branches & Beyond, it is the old and the new. Scratchy old music from the Dipsydoodlers and the Brockway Brothers and the first recorded version of "Fishing Blues," and shiny new music from Frigg, Les Fils Canouche and the Emily Askew Band. And more, as they say.
