White Walls #51: The Annual Winter Show

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a safe and warm December so far. We haven't had any snow yet here in New England, but we've had beautiful crisp sunny days and rainy gray days, both of which makes me want to listen to some seasonal music - which is what I'm playing this week on my annual winter show! Like in years past, I'm playing lots of my favorite seasonal songs, including Sufjan Stevens, Sarah McLachlan, Reba McEntire, and Mark O'Connor, plus some new songs that I found this year that felt wintery by Darling West and Alexa Rose. I hope you enjoy these winter-y songs.

This weekend is the annual Season of Lights weekend on SpiritPlants Radio this weekend, so be sure to check out the whole schedule! As always, it's a good one!

We'll be back in 2024 - see you then!

Take care,
DJ Blue

White Walls #50!!

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well, staying safe, and, here in the US, having a nice Thanksgiving weekend. It has been a beautiful autumn here in New England, and last night was the first night that really got cold. No better time to stay in, get cozy,  and listen to my 50th show this weekend on SpiritPlants Radio! This autumnal show features all sorts of my favorites, like Ocie Elliott, Haunted Like Human, and Honeysuckle, plus some newer-to-me finds like Raine Hamilton and Valley Maker. 

I can't believe it's my 50th show, and it just so happens that my 50th show is happening on SpiritPlants Radio's 20th Anniversary Weekend! Be sure to check out all the other great shows playing all weekend!

I'll be back soon for my last show of 2023! In the meantime, stay safe and take care!

I'm playing songs by some of my favorites, like Florence + the Machine, Edie Carey, and Honeysuckle, plus a couple new to me bands like WILD and the Weather Station.

White Walls #48: Mellow Spring Show

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well and staying safe. It's been a beautiful spring here in New England, not too hot yet and everything is green and in bloom. I'm excited to share this week's show with you! I picked mostly mellow songs, from lots of old favorites like Chris Pureka, Dead Horses, Edie Carey, Wild Rivers, and River Whyless, plus some of my newer finds, like Haunted Like Human and Slow Leaves. The last song is a collaboration by over 50 Canadian artists, released to support Canada's Kids Help Phone. A great song for a great cause!

I hope you enjoy this week's show as much as I did, and don't forget to check out all the other great shows this weekend on SpiritPlants Radio

Take care,

White Walls #47: Annual Winter Show

Hello everyone,

I hope your December so far has been a good one, safe and warm. It's been chilly the past few days here, which I think makes for the best time to listen to some seasonal music - which is what I'm playing this week on my annual winter show! As usual, I'm playing lots of my favorite seasonal songs, including Sufjan Stevens, Sarah McLachlan, Reba McEntire, and Mark O'Connor, plus some new songs that I found this year that felt wintery by South for Winter, Ocie Elliot, and others. These are some of my favorite songs for winter, and I hope you enjoy them.

This weekend is the annual Season of Lights weekend on SpiritPlants Radio this weekend, so be sure to check out the whole schedule! As always, it's a good one!

See you in 2023!

Take care,

White Walls #46: Autumn

Hi everyone,

It's so nice to be back with a new show this week, on SpiritPlants Radio's Anniversary Weekend! I'm excited about this week's show, which I think has a bit of an autumnal feel. It has quite the mix of artists, some old favorites like Wild Rivers, the Small Glories, and Lord Huron, and many new-to-me artists like Haunted Like Human, Raine Hamilton, and Ocie Elliot. It's bluegrassy and folksy, quiet and melodic, and maybe just a bit melancholic. 

Be sure to check out all the other great shows this weekend on SpiritPlants Radio's Anniversary Weekend! There's always such a variety of shows - I'm sure you'll find something that's right up your alley! 

I'll be back again in the next few weeks with one more show for 2022, so until then, take care!

White Walls #45: The Super Instrumental Show, Part 2!

 Hi everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying September! I'm so excited to bring you a new show this week - in fact, it's Part 2 of the Super Instrumental Show! Part 2 features some of the same favorite bluegrassy-folksy artists as last time, like Alison Krauss & Union Station, Balmorhea, and Sarah Jarosz, and this show features different artists like Laurel Premo, Tyler Childers, and Cahalen Morrison and Eli West, and more! Both Part 1 and Part 2 have lots of bouncy and fun music, and I think Part 2 has a few more long, moody tracks. 

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together! Check out my past shows, playlists, plus all the other great shows on SpiritPlants Radio this weekend - it's a Special Jellicle Literary Guild Weekend, and it'll be a fun one!

See you soon for my next show! 

Take care,
