LIVE RECORDINGS

Slideways Sessions 261 Hey what’s up everyone how you doing today? My name is Tim Penner and this is Slideways Sessions. I hope you’ve been having a great summer…. For me, I took a bit of time off from the show to enjoy some downtime with the family, played a few gigs, and have actually been working on new music in the studio. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that balance is key. Work life balance is so important if you want to be good to yourself and those around you. I think it’s one of the reasons I’m still sustaining this my livelihood in music. Part of that balance was having the opportunity to take my wife and son away up north to Quebec, where we went deep into the forest, to a festival called Eclipse. I’ve mentioned this festival before on the show and my feelings remain the same. What an incredible production from the top down… and it always puts perspective on why I do what I do. Music is the pulse that brings the community together. No one is more important than the other… the ones playing the music are the same as those making the food…. are the same as the ones dancing… are the same as the ones holding space for those that need it. We are ripples colliding with one another. It’s because of those perspectives on music and people… and the way we come together that I was so proud to bring Sylus up on stage with me… so he could see what daddy does… and what it feels like to pursue a dream. Honestly it was a top 3 moment for me in my music career to have him up there with me….. So, in honour of him, for today’s show.. I bring you my set from Eclipse Festival. I hope you enjoy….. Thank you so much for tuning in today.. once again my name is Tim Penner and this is Slideways….

Hey whats up everyone how you doing today? My name is Tim Penner and this is Slideways Sessions. I hope you’re having a great week so far….. for me… things couldn’t be better. In general I’m just feeling really good, full of energy, and excited for some incredible things in the coming months. This all comes off the back of an incredible tour in Australia where I had the opportunity to play a couple amazing shows in both Sydney and Brisbane. I gotta say… those Aussies love their music and they came out to party. So… today I’m going to take you with me back to Sydney to one of my favourite shows to date… and we’re going live from Civic Underground. And lemme tell you.. one thing that really stood out was the number of people that showed up as soon as the doors opened… so they could catch every minute of music. Right from the beginning to the end they were full of energy, positive vibes and incredible support. So, if you were there.. thank you….. from the bottom of my heart, you truly made this a memorable moment for me. Special thanks for Zankee and Simon and the Boots and Cats crew for having me out… Can’t wait to be back again. So, without further adieu… let’s go down under… back to Civic Underground in Sydney. Let’s Sliiiide Thank you so much for tuning in today.. once again I’m Tim Penner and this is Slideways…..

Hey what’s up everyone how you doing today? My name is Tim Penner and this is Slideways Sessions. I hope you’re having a great week so far….. for me, things are great. I just got back from incredible weekend playing in Bournemouth and Malta.. and let me tell you.. what an incredible weekend it was. If there’s one thing that came shining through it’s that once again music connects us in amazing ways. Both nights were so much fun.. and on top of everything I got to celebrate my good friend Claire’s birthday… who was one of the most gracious hosts. She took me around to the island of Malta to see the rich history and beauty that her country has to offer…. We rode around in the back of a pretty dilapidated JEEP and went beach hopping. Honestly, it was both inspiring and eye opening. As I’ve said before on this show, it’s hard sometimes to see just how far Slideways reaches… until moments like these where I can look someone in the eye, give them a hug and really find out how much the music has spoken to them over the years. Thank you Claire for an amazing experience… and Joven, Ruby, Matthew, Amanda… Kev Ross… and also.. let’s not forget Anne Love… who I believe managed to attend all 3 of my UK shows. Maddie, Greig and Kat… and all the other people I can’t mention here.. thank you for making this past weekend so amazing and continuing to prove why music is so powerful. Anyways… on that note.. I want to play my set from Malta because it truly was a beautiful moment for me. So let’s slide…… Thank you so much for tuning in today.. once again….

So… let’s not waste any time and let’s slide….. Thank you so much for tuning in today…. Once again.. I’m Tim Penner….
