"The Glorious Sons"

"The Glorious Sons"

S.01 E.01 & S.02 E.07. This episode features Brett Emmons and Jay Emmons of the Glorious Sons. Brett was my very first ever guest on the podcast/livestream in May of 2020 and Jay came on during season 2 on September 2nd, 2020. As you'll hear in the interviews, I go way back with the Sons. I discovered them opening for my band in Barrie, ON back in 2012. I produced their debut EP "Shapeless Art" and their debut album "The Union". I always love catching up with them any chance I get! When I recorded the intro I only planned on making the Brett episode available but I figured I would tack on the Jay chat as well, same as when I had two different members of the Hip on.  Link to original live streams:  Brett : https://www.instagram.com/thetrews/tv/CAK-AQ5BUc8/?utm_medium=share_sheet Jay : https://www.instagram.com/tv/CEp4g1oAEDo/?utm_medium=share_sheet Link to Spotify playlist : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0w7PG6jILZKa7yLZgcSzcX

"The Tragically Hip"

"The Tragically Hip"

S.01 E.02 & S.03 E.11 This episode features interviews with Gord Sinclair and Paul Langlois of Canada's most iconic homegrown rock band, the Tragically Hip. It would be difficult to overstate the influence that the Hip has had on my band, the Trews. Beyond their incomparable ability as songwriters and performers, they were also a guiding north star for us on how to conduct a career in music with integrity and grace. I'm lucky to call them my friends and these chats we're a great chance to catch up with Gord and Paul. We touched on everything from how they spent their lock downs to their favorite Hip songs. And of course, they make some recommendations for the playlist.
