    Terra Lightfoot Guests. New Album 'Home Front'

    A long-distance pal returns to The podcast. Sensational Singer- Prolific Songwriter - Road Warrior.   Terra Lightfoot   Terra Lightfoot has a well-earned reputation as a tireless live performer, with a tour history mapped across the globe and awards testifying to every mile logged along the way. To date, Lightfoot's marathon tours have touched down in eight countries across four continents. She also conceived, created, curated, produced and co-headlined The Longest Road Show, an all-female touring revue.     Most fans would reasonably assume that the singer-songwriter’s natural element is in the spotlight. But even accomplished touring artists like Lightfoot feel the insistent tug of home. That place, which for Lightfoot is a scenic hideaway, is captured in warm detail on the artist’s intimate new album, Home Front. In stark contrast to the anthemic alt-pop riffs of 2017’s New Mistakes and 2023’s Healing Power (each of which earned the artist JUNO Award nominations and Polaris Music Prize mentions), this is an unplugged session in more ways than one.     In Terra's words ..... “This house is a special place. “It sits all by itself between woods and streams that go on for acres and acres and a beautiful wetland teeming with wildlife. I find myself living more comfortably in my own bones than ever before when I’m here. There is a deep quiet here, in the house that backs onto the beaver marsh. Blue herons fly, and moose and bears walk the forest path out back. It is a place where I can’t help but be more connected to the natural world. Being so engrossed in the world of loud rock ’n’ roll guitar doesn’t leave a lot of space for field recording or softly strummed nylon strings. Home Front is the place where I can share all those softer and sweeter moments.” Home Front releases Oct 17th.   Next Week - Mariel Buckley and her newest album Strange Road Trip which premiers' same day Oct 17

    Ben Immanuel 'Are We Done Now?'

    Award-winning writer/director/actor Ben Immanuel’s feature film Are We Done Now? was released for VOD in Canada on September 30.  The film makes its U.S. Premiere at the SOHO International Film Festival from October 7-14. Are We Done Now, starring Gabrielle Miller with Favour Onwuka, Natalie Farrow, Eliot Ramsey, Giacomo Baessato, Jennifer Spence, and Camille Sullivan, promises to resonate with audiences on both comedic and deeply emotional levels.  The film won the Audience Award for "Most Popular Canadian Feature Film" at its Canadian Premiere at the Available Light Film Festival, and Natalie Farrow recently won a Leo Award for “Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Motion Picture” for her role as “Lennon.”  This thought-provoking dramedy will resonate with audiences on both comedic and deeply emotional levels. Shot between 2020 and 2024, Immanuel brings to the screen a profoundly relatable story following Pamela, a therapist (played by Gabrielle Miller of Corner Gas and Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey), and her diverse young clients as they participate in a (fictionalized) documentary exploring the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on their mental health. Through this experience, they—and the filmmaker—gain unexpected self-insight, leading to a deeper understanding of their identities and roles in our transformed world. The film’s cast features an array of talent, including Favour Onwuka (Dying to Belong), Giacomo Baessato (The Good Doctor), Jennifer Spence (The Trades), Camille Sullivan (Shoresy, Hunter, Hunter), Elliott Ramsey (UnREAL), and Natalie Farrow (Siren). Immanuel also appears as the documentarian, offering a unique perspective on the characters' journeys.  Our podcast interview is with Ben Immanuel Ratner - Director!!

  4. Ron Sexsmith with 18th album 'Hangover Terrace'

    Ron Sexsmith with 18th album 'Hangover Terrace'

    Our guest this week is songwriter, storyteller and singer with a one-of-a kind voice, Ron Sexsmith. I think the older I get, the clearer those memories become—and the more precious,”  Friday of this week he released his 18th album Hangover Terrace. It’s a wonderfully complex album born during Ron’s extended stay in the UK after his Sexsmith at Sixty tour. Recorded at London’s Eastcote Studios with longtime producer Martin Terefe, the sessions marked a turning point—ushering in a more introspective sound.  “This record speaks to the hangover I feel from the last few years of pandemic and life knocking us around,”   Gone is the gentle optimism of his recent work, The Vivian Line & Hermitage—Hangover Terrace is marked by personal loss, shifting friendships, and emotional grit. Ron Sexsmith proves, once again, that no one captures life’s quiet truths quite like he can. “The version of me that wrote those early records couldn’t write these songs,” he says. “Don’t give up. Stay focused on what’s real.” There was a celebration of Gordon Lightfoot and his songs at Massey Hall not too long ago. Missing was the biggest fan of Gord, Ron Sexsmith. Ron organized his own celebration for Gord at Hugh's Room in Toronto from Jan 31 to Feb 2. It was all Gord and each show was sold out.   For the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the Terry David Mulligan YouTube Channel, Ron lays the whole story out.  He also takes us through songs like  Easy for you to say "I wear my heart on my sleeve, where's you heart at? Cigarette and Cocktail "what comes for us, we can't outrun" Damn well please - "I've got one life, that's all I know"   Burgoyne Woods "up to no good in Burgoyne Woods. A band of misfits from the land of hosers." Must be something wrong with her "she says I'm lovely but the mirror says otherwise"   Ron Sexsmith  tour dates include Oct 31  Festival Place Sherwood Park Nov 1 The Grand Calgary Nov 4 The Winspear.  Sidney BC Nov 5 Parksville, Vancouver Island Nov 7 The Hollywood,   Vancouver.
