Sean Burns is an old friend. Originally from Oshawa but transplanted to Winnipeg. Burnsy is a Country/Canadiana, Singer/Songwriter musician. While visiting Saskatoon Ross and Burnsy catch up over beers and weed cookies. They go deep on music and life and their lives in music. Burnsy was born into it. For real. Listen to two journeymen musicians who have spent nearly two decades between them, slugging it out in the trenches. Real talk about the real music industry. Not the Record industry. The MUSIC industry.

Last September during Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival in Fredericton NB, 95.7 The Wolf held an in studio series where they interviewed performing artists. One artist scheduled was JJ Grey. I asked the station manager if they would allow me to interview him. They agreed and I had a rare opportunity to sit with one of my favourite singer/songwriters and front men and discuss music and life. We dug deep and found a fantastic conversation that touches on live performance, songwriting and what it means to connect. Enjoy.

Last fall I had the opportunity to sit down with Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar/Grady fame. We chatted about the Toronto scene he came up in, Songwriting, studio work and more. Always elusive, Gordie was generous with his time. I really enjoyed our chat and only wished I had more time to get through all my questions. This week's episode features the songs, "Universal Vampire" from Calling All The Youth as well as "Wild Ox Moan" from 500 lbs.

While in Toronto last fall I caught a couple shows form one of my fav bands...Mephis Tennessee's own, Lucero. Before the second show I had the opportunity to catch up with Bassist, John C. Stubblefield. We chatted about american music, Jim Dickinson, Memphis and more. Enjoy.

While in Saskatoon last fall I performed as the feature guest, one evening, in the theatre production "Life, Death and The Blues". The play was and is, excellent and I was moved to have a conversation with the star and author, Raoul Bhaneja. We had a long enjoyable chat that discussed a variety of topics. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you do as well.
