Hello again. Sara Hillis here to tell you about this weeks' episode of Come by the Hills! We'll be featuring a couple of sea shanties in honour of the fact that this subgenre of Folk music has recently (and strangely) gone viral on TikTok. We'll also hear a Leonard Cohen-related lament from Canadian singer-songwriter Nancy White, and we'll generally have a great time.

Hello there! Sara Hillis here to tell you that Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show will soon be on the air again for another week!

It's a low-key show with a perfect mix of musical moods and styles whether you're engaged in some specific task or just chilling out.

Well, here we are at last. It's 2021! However, even though the year has changed, you've still got a date with great Folk and Celtic music tonight. Join me, Sara Hillis, at 8:00 PM Eastern for three hours of the best the Folk world has to offer, including some music that's new to the show from artists we love such as Meg Davis and Pentangle! There may even be some Me Music along the way. Who knows? Anything can happen on a live show!
