There is very exciting news from Loreena McKennitt-land! On March 8th, 2024, her new live album, The Road Back Home, will become available. This is a collection of performances taken from a couple of different folk festivals she played at last year, and it consists of songs she sang during the earlier part of her career, traditional for the most part. Well, on tomorrow's show, we've got one of those songs for you on Come by the Hills, along with three hours of great Folk and Celtic music as usual. I can't wait!

Who said wishes can’t come true, eh? We had new ABBA music in 2021, even a new Beatles song in 2023, now Billy Joel has broken his long musical drought with a brand new song. No word yet on whether this is the first single from a forthcoming album.

Changes to the Mushroom Fm schedule are rare, but we are now implementing the second phase of the 2024 schedule.
First, Gordon Luke is scaling back his G Spot show due to other commitments. He'll therefore no longer be heard at 11 PM Saturday, which repeated at 4 AM on Wednesday. But we're delighted that we’ll still hear Gordon
on his 4 PM Wednesday show which replays on Saturday morning. Starting this Saturday at 11 PM and next Wednesday at 4 AM, Ryan will be hear with the Groove Line.
The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week, the Juke In The Back features one of R&B and Rock n' Roll's greatest acts, James Brown.
Born into a poor community in South Carolina, James Brown worked his way to the very top in the entertainment business, but it wasn't without a struggle. As we'll hear on this week's program, Brown had to suffer through a mess of unsuccessful records, in order to find his "sound."
This week on Deep Dive we feature the outstanding harmonies of Franky Valli and the Four Seasons. We ask Mary to come out tonight, go back to late September 1963, and walk like a man.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply ask your SmartSpeaker to play Mushroom FM and it will whisk you there.
Deep Dive, is the show where we focus on one artist for one hour. Heard exclusively on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.
After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of the Rock and Roll era with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
Just a few short hours ago, I promised you a live Robbie Burns special this week on Come by the Hills. I've had to change this due to a sudden social engagement which will be happening on Saturday. Therefore, instead of a live Burns special, I'll be presenting an encore Burns special from the archives, this time from January 22, 2022. Of course, this means that some of the promos will be out of date, so do keep that in mind and check the Mushroom FM schedule for your slightly changed Saturday evening lineup!
The time has come again for the annual Robbie Burns celebration on Come by the Hills! We'll have three hours of songs and poetry written or collected by the man himself, as well as many other Scottish songs in honour of the national poet of Scotland. We'll also hear a little about burns's life, pipe in the haggis, of course, and generally have a bonnie time! So why not tak a wee dram and join me live from the seventh floor!
