The Guest List
Thursday July 18th, 2024 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Adrian Sutherland and with Joe Therriault of the group Gulfer

We open the show in conversation with Adrian Sutherland. The Cree artist from Attawapiskat recently released a brand new album called Precious Diamonds and will be performing at Red Bird Live tonight - Thursday, July 18th. (And last time I checked there were still tickets available.) We talk about the powerful song Boogeyman, which explores the abuse Indigenous children suffered in residential schools. We also talk about the powerful, uplifting themes he draws on for other songs on this new album that was produced by Colin LInden.

The group released a new album earlier this year and the songs on the album show a clear evolution in the group's sound. Joe talks to us about the poppier vibe on this recording and why the group has decided to stop making music - although he lets us know that there is one more e.p. coming from Gulfer later this year. We also talk about what to expect at the Rainbow on Saturday as it will be the LAST live performance by Gulfer... even though they are from Montreal, timing just worked out for the band to play Montreal last weekend and to wrap things up here in Ottawa on Saturday. So you really should come out to say so long to a great rock band that's hanging up its guitars.
