Thursday February 11th, 2016 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Rae Spoon, Jim Bryson and Corb Lund
Great songwriters on the show today... however briefly re: Corb Lund!!
Rae Spoon's new album is called Armour. They will be performing at Pressed on the 26th of February. We talked to Rae from their home in Victoria before the big tour kicks off and talked about how growing up queer and trans has becoming a significant part of their art/music of late and the new electro pop sounds of Armour.

Jim Bryson is releasing his first album in 5 years next week with some gigs in Stittsville. It's a super album called "Somewhere We Will Find Our Place." We talk about the time between records and the impact of Jim's domestic life on his work amongst other things. Check out the album - it's a really strong new release.

Finally... almost finally... Corb Lund called in late and we squeezed him in for about 2 minutes before his cell dropped the call... oh well.. life on the road for a hard-working musician. Check out Corb at the NAC Theatre on February 18th. His new album features terrific storytelling songs.
