Inside The Artist's Studio – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Surprise!

Well folks, we made it to 130 episodes, just barely, and there’s no one else I’d rather finish off the run of Inside the Artist’s Studio with than Alberta’s own Mike Plume. Mike is one of Canada’s hardest working musicians, and we chat about the ups and downs of his career, filled with over 3000 live shows and hundreds upon hundreds of songs. Mike is on tour right now, and you can catch him and his band in Saskatoon tonight, September 6th, in Edmonton on September 7th, and in Moose Jaw on September 9th with Corb Lund and Lindi Ortega.
