  • EP 351 | Dan Mangan and new Album 'Natural Light'
    Jun 1 2025
    Dan Mangan released his 7th album, Natural Light, last Friday. A year ago, Dan Mangan asked the players in his road band to join him at a cottage to demo the songs for Natural Light. These players would likely not be in studio when he rerecorded the songs. However, after recording the first song - It Might Be Raining - they looked at each other, laughing. It was pure magic. The room worked, the band worked and the songs really worked They did two songs the next day and 2 more the third day. Four songs the 4th day. The demos in the cottage became the album Natural Light. Our interview covers a lot of ground. Dan opened up about his highs and lows. At one point, he was not being able to find a label that believed in his music. He made a decision not to let anyone mess with his dreams, so he started his own label. Dan says, This is the very best music he's ever made. He brings tales of acceptance and rejection. Of finding a balance between his dreams and his family. It Might Be Raining - was written for his children in preparation for the world he/we were leaving them. The songs bring Hope. I believe Natural Light to be one of the albums of the year.

  • EP 350 | Guest Joel Plaskett and new album 'Songs From The Gang'
    May 26 2025
    We met over coffee on the streets of Victoria to talk about Songs from The Gang - A Celebration of Joel Plaskett. A #1 LP on the CKUA Top 30. His music friends recorded covers of his songs and kept it a secret for a year. Anyone who knows the music business will admit that is a minor miracle. Joel's Gang included Sloan, Alan Doyle, The Sheepdogs, Matt Andersen, Jenn Grant, etc. Joel's stories just spilled out - one after the other.

  • EP 349 | Kevin Hearn. Stories of Portland Parish Pianos/ Gord/Leonard & Lou
    May 17 2025
    Most music fans know Kevin Hearn as the pianist and songwriter for Barenaked Ladies. Few would know that Kevin was the band leader for Lou Reed for 7 emotional years. Or that he fought a battle with leukemia for many years, even while touring with BNL. Gord Downie knew all those stories when he asked Kevin Hearn and Kevin Drew to help him prepare for live performances of his final music project - Secret Path! Because he had just been down his own darkened path , Kevin Hearn was able to bring comfort and strength to the recording of Gord's final songs. Kevin takes us though those moments including Gord's last words to him, about his friendship with Lou Reed and then takes us on another journey - this time to Jamaica. Kevin's new solo album is called Portland Parish. Recorded in three locations. A small jungle cottage, the legendary Trident Hotel and the long-abandoned Trident Castle. Kevin plays originals, covers (Lou Reed and Sun Ra Arkestra) on a collection of creaking pianos weathered by time and nature. If you listen closely, you can hear chirping frogs and dogs barking in the distance. Several of the pianos were damaged and barely playable. Kevin says, "The idea was to seek out semi-abandoned pianos in spaces said to be haunted and improvise."
