Michael Falk is the artistic director at Jazz Winnipeg, as well as the man behind Head in the Sand Records and the former frontman of Les Jupes… among many other roles in the Winnipeg music scene.

We talk about all of that, this year’s Jazz Fest lineup, and much more on this episode.

Full disclosure: I do freelance work for Jazz Winnipeg, although I don’t think it affects this podcast in any conflict-of-interest-y way. I would’ve wanted to have Mike on the show regardless.

Also: I tried out the new recording gear for this episode (thank you everyone). As you can hear, I have a bit more practicing to do. Mike came through great, but I sound a bit distant. I figure with every episode I do, I’ll get more an more familiar with the recorder and things will start to sound better and better.

This episode brought to you by our pals at The Park Theatre!
