Thursday June 8th, 2017 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Scott Helman and Ottawa's Pine

First up we talk to Scott Helman who exhibits wisdom and insights in song and conversation that many might feel are beyond his 21 years. He's a bright and engaging young singer-songwriter who has just released his first full length album Hotel De Ville (his debut EP Augusta was released in the Fall of 2014.) We talk to Scott about staying true to his music and his voice and how he writes for himself but with his audience in mind. You can see Scott performing his new songs at Mavericks on Friday, June 9th. http://scotthelmanmusic.com/ We were supposed to talk to Spencer Burton about his new album Songs Of, but his cell phone died at an inopportune time and he couldn't make the call. He did send an apologetic text and we'll get him on the show next time he visits Ottawa. You can see him play at Pressed on Friday, June 9th. http://www.spectrasonic.com/event/1481929-spencer-burton-ottawa/ https://www.spencerburtonmusic.com/ Finally we check in with local band Pine as they release the group's new EP Pillow Talk at House of Targ on Saturday night - June 10. We talk to Holden Egan about how the band's sound has evolved, how much he enjoys layering guitar sounds and the group's plans for writing and recording a new full album. https://pine.bandcamp.com/album/pillow-talk http://www.spectrasonic.com/event/1459652-pine-ottawa/ Get out and see some live music this week.
