September is a great month for campfires - the days are getting shorter and the evenings a little cooler, so what better way to extend the waking hours with a little fire going? We start off the show with a couple different campfire songs, including my favorite song to sing when you are at a campfire (especially when you're miles from home). After that, a ton of new music, including songs from Qwalia, LA Priest, Alexia Hunter and Mikaela Davis. And we finish the episode with a new, very traditionally arranged cover of a very quirky British song.

Every year, I know that my birthday is coming up when the Perseids peak in the sky...you could say that I was born under the Perseids. So this week, I start off the show with some actual and metaphorical meteor tunes, including a beautiful song about summer meteors and lost love by Ariane Moffatt. I also play the most unlikely song ever to be used in a vodka commercial and a very famous musician's instrumental reworking of a song that he first released 57 years ago. In addition, there is some great new music from Jess Williamson, Huw Marc Bennett, Dot Allison and Matt Maltese. And we finish off the show with an absolutely perfect swan song of a recently lost singer.
