    Leeroy Stagger Pilgrimage - latest Album

    This week's Mulligan Stew podcast features our own Leeroy Stagger. He's the host of Dirty Windshield Radio Hour on Saturdays on CKUA Radio. His latest album is about to be released. It's called Pilgrimage.   Leeroy found inspiration by reading Alister McIntosh's brilliant  book "Soil and Soul."   "I wanted to write on the Highland Clearances of the 1700s that pushed my ancestors from Scotland to Northern Ireland and ultimately Nova Scotia. The repercussions of colonialism that  shake the branches of my family tree and sadly still ring  out throughout my home country of Canada today." "It was always so strange to me that I felt more at home in Scotland than in my own country; it makes perfect sense to me now. There is a deep ancestral grief for where we once called home."   Key to these songs and the entire album is the partnership Leeroy entered into with East Coast legend Joel Plaskett. They played, wrote and produced together. Joel suggested to Leeroy that they use his  Tascam 388, an old 1/4" 8-track machine. Joel convinced me on the magic, and I  started to see the humanness of  tape, in all of its warm and unpredictable glory."   "At this point, we have to ask ourselves what kind of world we want to live in. Digital isolation or a community forward offering of storytelling, of truth in the natural world, of something tangible and real; a bit of the old ways."   [caption id="attachment_32453" align="alignnone" width="512"] Leeroy Stagger -Pilgrimage[/caption]   Pilgrimage might just help us find it

  3. Randy Bachman on The Guess Who & BTO

    MAY 16

    Randy Bachman on The Guess Who & BTO

    Once again, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and got to experience the lift off of the first Canadian artist to hit #1 in the USA. Before they became world famous, they were another prairie band trying to get the bosses in Toronto to notice them. I was at CJME and CKCK in Regina, and over one early 60's summer, they spent the hot months playing at beach parties and small halls. One after the other. Then the hits started to roll, and I ended up going to London, UK, with them, to cover the story. Except the story was a bust.  Poorly planned on the London end, they played a couple of tv shows and came home. Then came These Eyes,  American Woman and fame. After the Guess Who split up, another set of musicians decided to take the name and run with it, for 13 years. Legalities carried on for many years, but eventually Randy and Burrton Cummings..the two original guys, got the name back and that's why the upcoming Guess Who Tour is called the " taking it back tour." Taking it back tour dates June 8 – Saddledome Calgary June 10 – Rogers Place, Edmonton Aug 23 PNE Freedom Mobile Arch August 25 Memorial Arena Victoria

  4. Chris Wood - The Wood Brothers. New album Puff of Smoke

    MAY 10

    Chris Wood - The Wood Brothers. New album Puff of Smoke

    Big fan of Medeski. Martin and Wood. Then followed the Wood  Brothers through 9 albums. The media and music fans painted the brothers as a Jam Band. They are anything but. Jazz and roots/ blues driven with themes and lyrics that dive into human behaviour. Almost all songs are wrapped in a sensual groove. All songs written and created by an amazing trio. Chris's brother Oliver and Jano Rix, who'll play any instrument put in front of him. New album - Puff of Smoke is the best yet. The Brothers are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Ways not to Love. Chris's personal journey has taken him to a beautiful Wilder Wood farm on Pender Island, one of the best in the Gulf Islands on the West Coast. He and his biologist wife farm organic vegetables and sell them at the Pender Farm Market on the island. A percentage of the brothers' ticket sales goes to helping farmers. On both sides of the border. I caught up with Chris in an airport heading for an opening tour gig in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the complete interview on the podcast, he finished the chat walking to the gate. The Wood Brothers play the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on May 9.

    Ron Sexsmith on Gordon Lightfoot

    Ron Sexsmith has 19 albums in a singular career. His songwriting has been admired by his many peers. There's only one voice like his - which is a blessing in a sea of wouldda/coulda/shoulda. Photo by Kerry Vergeer[/caption]   If you asked him to compare his songs with his idol Gordon Lightfoot, Ron will admit there are few artists as good as  Gordon Lightfoot was, but he continues to honour him. This Wednesday and Thursday, Ron performs at two sold-out Lightfoot Memorial concerts at the National Music Center in Calgary. In Bell Hall.   On this week's Mulligan Stew Podcast Ron Sexsmith opens up about his admiration for Gord. A true storyteller, telling tales.   Ron Sexsmith honours  Gord Lightfoot.

  6. Ep 387 | Mariel Buckley and Alan Doyle Revisited

    Ep 387 | Mariel Buckley and Alan Doyle Revisited

    Last Oct 11, Mariel Buckley joined us from a motel room in New Mexico ( I think) as she was touring following the release of her latest album, Strange Trip Ahead. On Saturday night, Mariel and the album won a Juno Award for the 2026 Contemporary Roots Album of the Year. At 3 a.m., I was digging into the audio archives looking for this interview. And I've been following the Coffee Walks that Alan Doyle has been doing on Facebook as he toured Canada. Alan takes a camera and walks around the towns and cities he's playing in, looking for the best coffee, and through the walk finds the heart and soul of the city. When he got to Victoria and the end of the tour,  it became apparent that we should repeat our Feb 10 interview covering the release of his latest EP, Already Dancing. Alan heads for the USA next week but returns June 27 to headline one of the FIFA Fan Festival concerts in Vancouver.  His latest book is The Smiling Land, in which he reveals how little he knows about Newfoundland and Labrador. It's a wonderful read.

  8. The Bros. Landreth bring Dog Ear (with Bonnie Raitt)

    FEB 28

    The Bros. Landreth bring Dog Ear (with Bonnie Raitt)

    The amazing story and success of  Winnipeg's David and Joey Landreth continue with the release of their 9th studio album, Dog Ear. The brothers join us from home base as they prepare for a full European tour and select key American dates this year. The new album deals with finding a balance between making music and raising their families. In the music business, with all its touring, it can be really hard on the whole family.   After having a Grammy hit with the Landreth's  Made up Mind,  their music hero, Bonnie Raitt, asked the boys to send her songs from their new album. She came back saying, "I can't decide which one I want to sing on - so how about two songs?". She sang harmony on Knuckles and background on Half Moon Eyes. David and Joey grew up in a musical family and listened to Bonnie and Little Feat growing up.  They can't begin to describe what it's like to not only meet your heroes but to play and sing with them!!  As you can imagine, it's out of this world. Rarely, I hear people say "yeah..i don't listen to Canadian music!  That's like saying, i really hate breathing.  I urge you to take a minute and listen to the brothers and their music. If you don't hear the joy and humanity in their songs, it's ok. Lots of music fans really do. Not just in Canada but all over the World.   (check the tour schedule)   www.thebroslandreth.com
