The Guest List
Thursday June 29th, 2017 with Joe Reilly
Hugh Dillon of the Headstones for an extensive interview and some RBC Bluesfest highlights

Today we feature a lengthy interview with Hugh Dillon of the Headstones, as he takes a break from rehearsing with the band to call in on the Guest List. We talk about the songs on the new album "Little Army"and the creative process that brings a Headstones' song to life. Hugh also talks about the importance of honest and authenticity in art and performance. To wrap things up we talk about Hugh's formative days in Kingston and his connections with the Tragically Hip - ideas that are explored in the song "Kingston"on the new album. Headstones will be appearing at the RBC Bluesfest on Friday, July 14th for what promises to be a memorable show. http://www.ottawabluesfest.ca/artists/#!programmation=artist$headstones/717 http://headstonesband.com/ A couple of interviews fell through today so we feature music from a few of the great acts coming to RBC Bluesfest, which kicks off next Thursday, July 6. First up, it's LCD Soundsystem. The group makes its Ottawa debut on Wednesday, July 12. This should be a great show mixing rock, pop and electronic sounds together. http://www.ottawabluesfest.ca/artists/#!programmation=artist$lcd-soundsystem/424 https://lcdsoundsystem.com/ On the same night you can see Phantogram - Wednesday, July 12 . The group returns to RBC Bluesfest with a new album titled "Three." Phantogram's albums are great but they take the music to another level live as they did during the group's last play at Bluesfest. So don't miss this show. http://www.ottawabluesfest.ca/artists/#!programmation=artist$phantogram/454 http://www.phantogram.com/ Finally we wrap up with Kandace Springs.

She is exceptional. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xlaql9o9Us http://ottawajazzfestival.com/ Get out and see some live music this week.
