Show Notes

There's some time travel on this episode with Chenoa McKelvey and Jonathan Alexiuk of nostalgia-loving, jazzy, vocal harmony-heavy outfit [Smith's Onion](http:///www.manitobamusic.com/smithsonion)! It's fun chat about taking influence from hundred-year-old music and bringing it into a modern context, and a whole lot more -- just don’t make me pronounce the name. Since Smith's Onion has been primarily a live band at this point -- or, at least they were before the pandemic -- they don't have any formal recordings yet, so the songs on this episode are just lo-fi live recordings. This episode brought to you by [Rob Crooks](http://robcrooks.bandcamp.com/) and [Saskatoon Folk Rap Records](http://saskatoonfolkraprecords.bandcamp.com/), [Boots & Saddle](http://ckuw.ca/programs/detail/boots-and-saddle) on CKUW, and [Devine Shirt Company](http://devineshirtcompany.ca/). Huge thanks to everyone who supports the podcast on [Patreon](http://www.patreon.com/witchpolice), including latest patrons Scott Devine and Chris Friesen (who will be thanked on-air soon). You can help out for as little as $1 a month if you like the show and want to throw some change in the guitar case!
