And it’s hard to listen - but listen ‘Cause it’s much harder living it than listening to the hardships

Now what I see been a long time coming The tribe running, rocking, reaching new peaks So that them young’uns can finally summit Climbing high above and then fly from it, up to the skies Over standing the corruption and deconstructing the lies

We're recording outdoors this week, sitting behind the mainstage at Winnipeg's iconic meeting place, The Forks. For three days in August (the 12th through the 14th), that stage will play host to some of North America's finest roots acts at the second annual Interstellar Rodeo. Sara Stasiuk of Six Shooter Records is on hand to talk about the Rodeo's roots and some of the exciting artists on this year's bill, including Wilco, case/lang/veirs, Lee Fields and the Expressions, Serena Ryder and many more. She's joined by Leonard Sumner, an Anishinaabe MC/singer/songwriter, representing the many talented local acts who are part of the 2016 event.
