The Guest List
Thursday April 5th, 2018 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Kevin Devine, Ellen Doty, and Jared and the Mill

We open the show today talking to Kevin Devine. Kevin is in town on Saturday night (April 7) at the 27 Club. In October of 2016 Kevin released a pop-rock album called Instigator and a year later he released stripped down versions of the songs from that recording on an album called We Are Who We've Always Been. Kevin talks about the decision to revisit those songs and how he found different approaches to the songs could almost change their meaning for him. A thoughtful conversation that also included Kevin sharing about musical influences and how he sees his music as part of a continuum of pop-rock sounds. http://www.kevindevine.net/ https://devinylrecordsny.bandcamp.com/album/instigator https://devinylrecordsny.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-who-weve-always-been https://www.spectrasonic.com/event/1655898-kevin-devine-ottawa/ Next up we check in with Ellen Doty who has just released a new album titled Come Fall. The album reveals a progression in Ellen's sound -while firmly rooted in jazz it has a cool pop sound that really works at night. Ellen talks about expanding her horizons on this recording and some awesome artists she worked with co-writing the songs from Come Fall. She also talked about the jazzy trio she is touring with and you can hear her perform with them live at Gigspace here in Ottawa on Friday, April 13th. http://www.ellendoty.com/ http://gigspaceottawa.com/ellen-doty/ Finally we manage to squeeze in an interview the Jared Kolesar of Jared and the Mill.... despite some computer issues at the start of the segment and a little trouble getting him on the phone. Jared explains to us how he and his bandmates don't look at what's trending in music and simply want to record the best songs possible and really connect with people. He also talks about the evolution of the band's sound as exhibited on a new forthcoming album (the single Soul In Mind is from that album) and how a lot of the group's music has grown out of being road warriors for the past several years. You can check them out in Ottawa on Monday, April 9 at the 27 Club. http://jaredandthemill.com/ https://www.spectrasonic.com/event/1641500-jared-mill-ottawa/ Get out and see some live music this week!
