The best of roots music from around the world, hosted by Rob Ellen --- Promoter Presenter and Publicist. Braodcasting Health and Happiness to the Highlands of Scotland on Loch Broom FM and Nevis Radios and to the world on Nessmp3.com
Rob Ellen has been involved in music development in Scotland for over 20 years and keeps a trial open around the Highlands in particular, for touring Roots Musicians Small Combos and Bands. Rob also tours many of The Medicine Show favorites around Europe through The Medicine Show On The Road www.medicinemusic.co.uk
The tour has become a pilgrimage with American Musicians in particular, wishing to trace the roots of "The Great American Song Book" back to its home in the Highlands, Rob says "I am fascinated by the song lines and tracing the roots of music, but equally fascinated with the contemporary shoots that keep it all alive and well".
The original Medicine Shows travelled the west until recent history selling snake oil remedies and featuring music and other entertainment's, Country pioneers Hanks Williams and Roy Acuff got their starts on Medicine Shows. Hank met his wife then Audrey Mae Sheppard, a farm girl from Banks, AL, in 1943 while he was playing a medicine show.
MEDICINE in the modern sense is perceived to be a treatment for ailment, but in the ancient sense particularly in the minds of Native Americans, medicine is all that is good in nature connecting the spirit world with the physical. The Medicine of music can be a direct connection with all it is to be human and also our best prescription for the disconnecting-ailments of our modern culture".
Eddie Walker and Fraser Spiers live Medicine Show On The Road recorded Inverness Hootananny18th Feb
Eddie Walker is arguably or finest finger style blues guitarist, Fraser Speirs Scotland premier harp player, together they offer the complete acoustic Blues experience and roots exploration.
Eddie says on his web site about Fraser http://www.eddiewalker.net I'm moving on with my new playing partner Fraser Speirs and how enjoyable and successful this is proving. The more gigs we do the better it seems to the both of us. So many good gigs last year in Scotland we moved into Northern England for the first time this February and return club dates, festivals and more new dates are in the diary already for the next 12 months. Have a look at Fraser's website for an insight into his background and professional career as a top harmonica showman and regularly sought studio session player. And such a great player he is too. http://www.fraserspeirs.co.uk
Matt has a larger than life showmanship that has been earning him a fervent and steadfast audience wherever he graces the stage. We had the great pleasure of doing two shows one at The Argyll Hotel Ullapool (Scotlands Village of Music) 10th Feb 2009.
Matt's sprawling blues, roots and rock musical hybrid with his sorrowing and soulful voice has sparked a phenomenal buzz on the east coast of Canada and that grass roots word of mouth can not be contained any longer! www.stubbyfingers.ca

More Chris Cook on nessmp3.com http://www.nessmp3.com/music/chriscook
The Medicine Show is delighted to be now broadcasting on Nevis Radio www.nevisradio.co.uk Wednesday nights 10pm till midnight out of Fort William in the shadow of Ben Nevis and to the rest of The Highlands and Islands of Scotland that Loch Broom FM don't reach.
Our first session on the Nevis Radio Medicine Show was with the very wonderfull AJ Roach
AJ Roach (vocal, guitar, banjo)
Hailing from rural Appalachian Virginia, Roach has quickly made a name for himself as one of the finest young singer songwriters working today. His debut release, "Dogwood Winter" (2003) was met with widespread acclaim by fans and critics on two continents. In 2004, Roach was the winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Award at MerleFest“ the nation's premiere Americana music festival in Wilkesboro, NC. AJ's newest release, ˜Revelation" has already topped the Americana charts in Europe and is slated for a fall release in North America. Roach's live performance has been dubbed a virtual master-class in illustrating how much sophistication goes into creating so-called primitive music Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, The Be Good Tanyas, Dolly Parton, Nels Cline (Wilco), Todd Sickafoose (Ani DiFranco), and Nels Andrews are just a few of the acclaimed artists that AJ has performed on stage, recorded or split concert bills with in the recent past. AJ Roach is a definite don't miss, and an artist to watch in the coming year's and we are delighted to have captured him here in session
