T
HE HUNDRED MILE MUSIC SHOW ...a new radio show featuring music and musicians from the Owen Sound and Grey/Bruce region. Hosted by Steve Ritchie and broadcast every Thursday from 8 to 9 PM (Eastern) on 560 CFOS-AM in Owen Sound and streamed live on the internet.
OFF THE RECORD is a collaborative distillation of the collective experiences of Steve Ritchie and Rob Ritchie, two long-time members of the iconic folk/roots powerhouse Tanglefoot. It's music, stories, reminiscence and laughter - an up up-close-and-personal peak into the musical minds of t
hese two veteran performers.
"It's chance for us to play music that we otherwise never get to play," says Steve. "Some of Rob's stuff, some of my stuff, some other people's stuff and some songs we just really, really like. It's a more laid-back and intimate thing, always lots of fun and always slightly unpredictable 'cause we don't do it very often!"

SPEY RIVER STUDIO is located in a beautiful rural setting near Owen Sound, Ontario, situated in the basement between the freezer and a hot-water boiler that looks like it came off the Titanic.
Athough primarily a vehicle for Steve's solo recordings, the ProTools-equipped project studio was where many of the tracks for Tanglefoot's 
2006 "Dance Like Flames" album were recorded, and was also the venue for the final mix. As well, a handful of highly creative and thick-skinned artists have found it within their budget and level of patience to record tracks at Spey River in between the dog barking and the water heater coming on.
Spey River Studio has been in existence since 2005.
