The Guest List
Thursday May 11th, 2023 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Jill Barber and Mimi O'Bonsawin

We open the show today talking to Jill Barber about her new album Homemaker and her upcoming concert at the National Arts Centre's Babs Asper Theatre on Friday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m. As the title suggests, Jill is exploring her domestic life in song on this new recording and the song sequence is perfect as Jill reveals a deeply personal and heartfelt narrative. At one point in the interview her domestic life quite literally enters the picture when Jill's daughter makes a special guest appearance. This is a delightful and insightful interview.
