The Guest List
Thursday August 6th, 2026 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Maggie Woodley of Scary Bear Soundtrack, singer-songwriter Elle Sherlock, and Kaylie Seaver & Travis Hood of Grandmother
A busy show today with all local Ottawa artists featured! This On Demand version of the show is a bit longer as I had to edit some interview segments to fit the 60 minute format of the FM broadcast of the Guest List.
We open in conversation with Maggie Woodley of Scary Bear Soundtrack, as the group is about to release a new album, "past tense future memory." We talk about how a theme of anxiety runs through the songs, even though four different songwriters created them. Scary Bear Soundtrack is performing as part of the Under The Stars weekend at Club SAW on August 14th - and there are performances also on August 15th. It's a great way to hear a lot of local artists over a couple of nights at Club SAW. And it's outdoors so these make for lovely summer evenings in Ottawa.

Elle Sherlock is also playing Under The Stars at Club SAW on August 14th, and she joins us today to talk about her new single, The Edge, and her upcoming album. She tells us how she worked in the studio to create the music she wanted to accompany her new songs and how important it is for her to get her first album out in November.

To wrap up the show we talk to Kaylie Seaver and Travis Hood of the pop doom band Grandmother. They have just released a brand new EP (Grandmother II) and they share with us how they put together the music and lyrics for the four songs included on the EP. They talk about how the mix of gritty guitars and melodic vocals come together in the Grandmother sound and about the three other acts appearing with them at House of Targ on Saturday, August 15.
