Episode 58: Interview w/ Dennis Moseley-Williams
Pals - I've had this episode simmering slightly on the backburner for a while but it's finally braised and ready to be plated for your mental pleasure. Dennis Moseley-Williams has been described as dangerously funny and wickedly smart. He is not only an outstanding presenter, but he’s also an outstanding person as well (and I can attest to that as he has become a great friend). He has integrity, honesty and cares about his position and the people he works with. He provides easy-to-understand ways for improving the strategy for your business. Also - much like me as a music maker - as a professional public speaker and vision spreader, he understands the concept of a gig being live and only getting one shot to impress a room. I hope this episode finds you well. We had some great glowing relevatory convo moments. Dennis is an inspirational dude.

Episode 57: It Will Be Okay
Hello friends - it's been a few buckets of hot seconds since I've been in the podverse. I found some time between touring to get some shiznit uploaded for your lovely selves and I have a few more on the way. Today's theme is anxiety - and how remembering a simple mantra during times of heaviness and stress (and redirecting your focus and energy) can be helpful. I hope it finds you well. Catch me on tour with Ron Hawkins this month in Buffalo, Toronto and two nights in Burlington. I love you. 3

Episode 56: Pre Xmas Positivity (Recorded December 6th, 2023)
Graventown Friends from all of the map-ends. I was feeling pretty raw when this cast of ye olde pod came out just before the yuletide glee. I hope it finds you well. It was about the essence of music and art and just sticking with a craft through all seasons of life - in a phrase; manufacturing authenticity. I also talk about seeing failure as a privilege has helped me time and time again. Originally recoded Dec 6, 2023.

Episode 53: Carcast 8 (Dec 10, 2023) - Musical Pain Therapy
Was nice to have some runway between Ottawa and Kingston to launch a few thoughts about loss and life and musical light that guides us through it all. The gig at the toucan with Tom was ethereal and it was important to dissect the whys and hows of getting out of your own way and being a vessel. I always appreciate you listening and I'll hope to see you in Toronto this coming Saturday December 16th. Email me anytime at gravencanada@gmail.com.
