Interviews with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Mappe Of (sort of), Walrus and Claire Lynch

Today we chat with Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. The group is appearing at the National Arts Centre on Saturday, November 4. Special guests will include Bruce Cockburn and Matt Andersen. We talk to Stephen and Colin about working with a bunch of amazing artists on both of those albums and what to expect from the big gig on Saturday. https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/16716 Next up we try to talk to Tom who is Mappe Of. He is appearing at the Black Sheep Inn on Friday night (Nov. 3.) But his cell phone would not cooperate and we had to drop the call unfortunately. We did play some music from the beautiful album A Northern Star, A Perfect Stone to hopefully entice you to head out to the gig. https://www.facebook.com/MappeOf/ https://www.theblacksheepinn.com/ http://paperbagrecords.com/mappe-of/ Next up we check in with Justin Murphy of Walrus. The Halifax-based rock band dabbles in psychedelic sounds and loves those guitars. The group is appearing at Live on Elgin on Wednesday, November 15. https://walrustheband.bandcamp.com/ Finally we check in with Claire Lynch. She will be coming to town to perform with Lynn Miles at the All Saints Events Space (10 Blackburn Avenue) on Saturday, November 11.
