Interviews with Caroline Marie Brooks of Good Lovelies and Kevin Schiemann and Maryse Betournay of Stoby

Note: When you record on Zoom you don't have any control over the sound levels... so my apologies as Caroline Marie Brooks's levels are pretty low in this interview today. So you'll have to listen closely to that one. We open the show today talking to Caroline Marie Brooks of Good Lovelies about the group's Christmas concert in the Babs Asper Theatre at the National Arts Centre on Friday night (Dec. 16th.) We talk to Caroline about how they try to change up the show each year and how rewarding it is to have some of their original Christmas songs become part of family traditions across Canada. She also reveals that she'll be back in town in June at Red Bird live for a solo show with her friend Ben Kunder.

We talk about the group's new e.p. Playing In Cement and several songs on that e.p. We hear about the inspiration for these songs and how the group has been honing its skills in the studio. You can see Stoby performing at Club SAW on Saturday night (Dec. 17th.)
