Ken Yates

Ken Yates

2023-03-0601:28:55

I’ve been on a serious Ken Yates kick lately. Been listening to his songs non stop. They are so good. Something about the way he takes his time, leaves room, makes the most of every lyric and every verse that totally draws me in. His latest record “Cerulean” is tremendous as is the record before called “Quiet Talkers”. I was so curious to talk about his process, his education at Berklee School of Music (one of the most prestigious music schools in the world) and his love of the outdoors...
Laurie Brown

Laurie Brown

2023-02-1501:18:30

To me, Laurie Brown is an icon. Since I was kid I’ve felt like I’ve known her. She has been a VJ on MuchMusic, was the host of The Signal on CBC Radio 2 for over a decade and now has one of the most interesting podcasts out there called “Pondercast”. I’m a huge fan of Laurie Brown and, in many ways, she has been there as a guide for me towards great music throughout most of my life. Plus I love her voice and her style as a broadcaster. So needless to say, I was super pumped to have this...
Aquakultre - part 2

Aquakultre - part 2

2022-11-0101:00:56

Aquakultre - This is part 2 of my conversation with Lance Sampson (Aquakultre). As I said before, this one was just too good to cut short and it deserved to be a two parter. Whereas in the first one we focused a lot on the power of music to bring people together, this part focuses on community. Any conversation, any project that involves Lance involves the community. It’s fundamental to how he understands who is and what he does artistically. I love that. I learned a lot from this one and I’v...

2022-10-1548:34

Aquakultre - This conversation with Lance Sampson, the artist behind the project Aquakultre, was so expansive, so interesting and full of wisdom that I decided I had to split it into two parts. Aquakultre is, to me, one of the most dynamic artists making music in Canada. I’m a huge fan. He can rap, he can sing and he’s exploding with creativity. But this conversation went deeper than just the music. We talked about his time in prison, the importance of community and, most importantly, the pow...
Neon Dreams

Neon Dreams

2022-09-1501:18:32

One of my absolute favourite stories in Canadian music over the last couple years has been the meteoric rise of Neon Dreams in South Africa. Neon Dreams is one of the most successful pop acts to ever come from the east coast. Over the last decade, they’ve built a wildly loyal fan base and have released a bunch of radio hits in Canada. However, during the pandemic something new took place. What started with a song, turned into a video, turned into a tour, which turned into playing shows to ove...
Jim Bryson

Jim Bryson

2022-06-1701:34:59

Jim Bryson - One of my earliest buds in the business. I love Jim so much. He’s an incredible songwriter (who just put out his 7th solo album called “Country Wifi”), an amazing guitarist (who has played with Kathleen Edwards for years) and is now producing some of the best records being made in Canada. Above all this, Jim is an extraordinarily honest, humble, and interesting person to get to hang with. I knew this was going to be a real one and it was. I appreciated the time with him so ...
Tim Baker

Tim Baker

2022-06-0101:06:50

Tim Baker - I’m a legit fan of Tim Baker. I love Hey Rosetta! and I love his solo stuff. In fact, I became an even bigger fan when I saw how well he morphed into a solo artist after being in such a successful band and how clear his vision seemed. His musicality is deep and his voice is an instrument of crazy range. Like McCartney he can sing as sweet as a bird or let loose with total abandon and really scream it out without it losing the focus of the emotion. It’s special. He just put out a g...
Jah'Mila

Jah'Mila

2022-05-1801:04:11

Jah’Mila - I recently saw Jah’Mila live and I was totally blown away. Amazing presence on stage, confidence and musicianship. You could really tell she knew what she was doing and she’d be doing it for a long time! And the crowd was feeling it. She’s sung and toured with the Wailers and now calls Halifax her home. Her roots in Reggae run deep. Her father, Earl “Chinna” Smith toured with Bob Marley, played on a ton of seminal Reggae recordings and even recorded on “The Miseducation of La...
The Bros Landreth

The Bros Landreth

2022-05-0101:25:07

I met The Bros Landreth years ago when we shared a workshop stage at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. They blew my mind. You could tell right away they were lifelong musicians. From their feel and ease, you could tell they had been playing for years and were fully engaged with the craft of extraordinary musicianship. I’ve been a big fan ever since. And they just keep getting better. It was a real pleasure to get to chat with Joey and Dave Landreth. We talked about their brand new record “Come Morn...
Matt Andersen

Matt Andersen

2022-04-1501:00:29

Matt Andersen - If you’ve ever seen Matt live, you know. You know that he’s got one of the most incredible voices you’ll ever hear and leaves absolutely everything on the stage night after night. In fact over the past 20 years he’s toured more than almost any artist in Canada. And in so doing, has built up an insanely successful touring career selling out venues all over the world (often performing solo!). He’s humble, super down to earth and extraordinarily hard working. He recently pu...
Ria Mae

Ria Mae

2022-04-0101:12:34

Ria Mae has been a force to watch over the last number of years. She’s jumped from being an independent solo singer songwriter to one of Canada’s most successful pop artists. And it’s been amazing to see. Especially because she has done it without ever compromising who she is. Throughout the journey she has remained honest and humble and it’s super inspiring. And she’s not stopping! Ria just put out a brand new record called “Therapy”. Super glad we got a chance to catch up and grateful...

2022-03-1550:23

Junia T - I was so excited for this conversation. We’d been planning it for a while and it totally lived up to my hopes. Junia is one of my favourite producers making music today. His record “Studio Monk” is one of my top 10 from the last 5 years. It’s an insanely musical and fun record. He’s got a gift of bringing the best out in people he collaborates with and I was so curious to know how he does that. We got into that and a whole lot more. You’ll see right away that Junia is a special guy,...

Antonio (Tony) Delgado - Did you know that over 900 kids in New Brunswick get 15 hours of free music lessons a week?! It’s one of the coolest things going on in the province today and it is known as “Sistema”. Antonio Delgado is the music director of Sistema in NB and the conductor of the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra. He’s also one of the most energetic, passionate and committed musicians and educators I know. He has an amazing story. I’ve chatted with Tony many times over the last few...

Mo Kenney - Mo’s one of the coolest people I know. In the original sense of the word. Like James Dean cool. I’ve been lucky to know them for a while now and I always dig our time together. Mostly cause of their honesty. It’s so refreshing and it puts everyone around them at ease, whether on the stage or in a personal conversation. This chat was no different. We talked about their upcoming US tour with the Crash Test Dummies, their wicked new single “With You” and we got into it about sobriety...

Julie Doiron

2022-02-0101:12:19

Julie Doiron - Entering her fourth decade in Canadian Indie Rock, Julie is in the company of very few. Since joining Eric’s Trip in 1990, she has been a creative force putting out records in English, French and Spanish, doing two Tiny Desk Concerts (one with musician Mount Eerie) and winning a Juno for her collaboration with the Wooden Stars. Julie’s down to earth nature and honesty are at the core of both her songwriting and her personality. That’s what makes her so fun to listen to and to h...

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Jonathan Torrens - I was super stoked to chat with Jonathan. I grew up watching him on television (Street Cents, Jonovision, Trailer Park Boys, etc.) and in the few times we’ve hung out in the past, he’s been one of the funniest people I’ve ever encountered. He’s had a career in entertainment for over 3 decades, and he keeps taking risks and reinventing himself. It’s incredibly inspiring. This chat lived up to my high expectations in every way. It was both hilarious ...

2022-01-0101:22:43

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Begonia - Begonia has got one of my favourite voices in Canada. She can sing like crazy. I’m lucky to have a radio show on CKUA where I play Canadian music, and I find myself playing Begonia’s music a ton. It’s inventive, fun and performed at a super high level. We didn’t know each other at all before this chat so this was a real treat. She was hilarious, super insightful and had an awesome perspective on where she’s at in terms of making music, and making a home in Winnip...

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Sarah Harmer - When I finished this interview, I walked into my kitchen and my wife Nina said, “how’s my favourite songwriter doing?”. I answered “I’m doing great, the interview went really well” to which she responded “I don’t mean you, I mean Sarah Harmer!” Ha!! I should have known. We are giant fans of Sarah Harmer in our house. Have been for years. She’s a Juno winner, a dedicated environmentalist, and a super down to earth, cool person to chat with. I really enj...
Steve Poltz

Steve Poltz

2021-12-0101:23:44

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Steve Poltz - The only thing you can predict when you’re hanging with Steve Poltz is that it is gonna be a wild ride. He’s one of the most energetic, engaged people I know. And certainly one the best performers I’ve ever seen. We talked about his 40 year career, co-writing one of the biggest songs of the 90s, addiction, having a stroke on stage, and so much more. It was full on and I loved it. He even turned the mic on me, which I didn’t expect. For all things Steve Poltz,...

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Terra Lightfoot - is a musician’s musician; an awesome guitar player, singer and songwriter who has been making consistently great records (Juno nominated) for over a decade. This was the first time I’ve ever chatted with Terra and I loved it! I was really looking forward to it and it went in directions I didn’t expect. We talked about her honky tonk piano playing grandmother, her guitar “Veronica” and meditation. It was a blast. For more on Terra, check out h...
