Interviews with Mike McDonald of Jr. Gone Wild and Cory James Mitchell of the Cory James Mitchell Band

Today we talk to Mike McDonald of the group Jr. Gone Wild about the group's upcoming concert, Tuesday, April 12th at the Rainbow. The band released a series of albums that were hits here at CKCU in the 80s and 90s before breaking up in 1995. The group got back together some years ago for a one-shot concert and has been playing shows since then and released its first album of new music last year. We talk to Mike about the group getting back together and the group's witty songs. https://jrgonewild.com For ticket information about the show at the Rainbow: https://therainbow.ca/events Then we talk to Cory James Mitchell of the Cory James Mitchell Band about the group's tour with the American group Blackberry Smoke - which brings them both to the Bronson Centre on Saturday, April 9th. Cory talks about how his band is very happy to be opening for Blackberry Smoke, and about how small community, blue-collar ideas permeate the songs he writes. https://www.coryjamesmitchellband.com We tried to get an interview with the Pack A.D., but timing didn't work out. So we spin a couple of songs by this powerhouse duo and hope you might consider going to see them at Club SAW on Saturday, April 9th. https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/the-pack-ad-strange-breed-club-saw-tickets/11444695?pl=spectrasonic Get out and see some live music this week and support independent artists in any way that you can!
