The Guest List
Thursday February 8th, 2024 with Joe Reilly
Part Two of our interview with William Prince who is at the National Arts Centre on Friday night (Feb. 9th)

Today's show continues where we left off last week, in conversation with William Prince. The Indigenous singer-songwriter is performing in Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre on Friday night (Feb. 9th.) We continue talking about some of the powerful themes he explores on his stunning 2023 album Stand In The Joy. These are deeply personal songs for William Prince but they are truly universal in how they touch us as listeners, and draw us in while leaving room for our own interpretations.

Allison was featured here on the Guest List back in 2021and the interview was so extensive that we presented it over two programs on June 24 and July 1.
