The Guest List
Thursday January 19th, 2023 with Joe Reilly
Today we talk to madfolk, The Sheepdogs, Barbara Kaneratonni Diabo and Yosuke Kawasaki

This is a jam packed show today. I hope you enjoy the diversity. Please note, that to make this show fit into the 60 minute FM broadcast, we had to edit some of the music featured. If you would like to hear that music in its entirety check out the On Demand version of the show. It runs longer than 60 minutes and features a lot more music. We open with the group madfolk, who will be performing at the Rainbow Bistro on Saturday night (Jan. 20.) Finn Scott and Gavin Brown talk to us about how the group's name and sound has evolved over the last 5 years, and about the new single Gordon's Song. https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/madfolk-backseat-dragon-guest-room-rainbow-bistro-tickets/12738515?pl=spectrasonic Then we check in with Ryan Gullen of The Sheepdogs.
