Paul Delong has been playing drums in bands for over 40 years and has played with some pretty amazing people and bands. Paul played drums on three Kim Mitchell Albums but also has played in many other disciplines like funk, jazz and blues. Not a lot of people can say they’ve played in bands to make a life and career from 40 years of playing. Paul is presently playing in Rik Emmetts band as well as teaching at Humber college amongst other endeavours. He’s also written books on drumming. A great conversation with Canadian rock royalty!

Nick Harper, Greg and Brent Lee from the Alpacas came on the show to talk about the industry, life as a musician and the joy of song writing. They released the album “the Best is Behind You” in October of 2016 and are presently working on a new album. This band has the feeling of “the Get up Kids” and “Gaslight Anthem” while creating a sound that’s unique and fresh. Look for new music and shows happening this year!
