Beggars Banquet

We talk with Alex Porat about eclectic family dinners, her love of video game music, and taking the leap from posting cover songs to sharing her own original music with the world.

Talking with Tom & Jimmy of Bob Moses about nostalgic spots to eat back home in Vancouver, how warehouse raves in Brooklyn helped to inform the style of the band, and making a concert film on top of a radio tower in Topanga.

We chat with Cassandra Jenkins about what it’s like performing with your parents, 1950s style cooking, Scandinavian food, and her incredible new album 'An Overview on Phenomenal Nature'.

We chat with Ariel Posen about what it’s like growing up in a musical household, the changing food scene in Winnipeg, and his approach to writing songs and playing guitar. Ariel also talks about his new record 'Headway', dipping his toes into vegetarianism and good gas station sandwiches in Europe.

We chat with Andrew Barr of The Barr Brothers to learn what it’s like growing up with a mom who worked alongside celebrity chef Julia Child, and how that influenced his tastes and cooking abilities. We also discuss making music in The Barr Brothers and Andrew’s role as a go-to-drummer in the tight-knit musical community in Montreal.

Robin Dann calls Toronto home, but back when school was in the picture, she crossed the pond to south-east London, and studied music at Goldsmiths, University of London. And before that, there was time spent in Paris. We take Robin on a trip down memory lane to talk about the decadence of Paris, the pub culture in London, and coming full circle to make music with her friends from Toronto.

Phil Maloney played drums in Hey Rosetta!, a 7-piece orchestral indie rock band from St. John's, Newfoundland, for 10 years before finding his way back home and opening Bannerman Brewing Co. We talk about growing up on the east coast of Canada, leaving to tour the world to play music, and craft beer.

We chat with Karina Rykman, bass-player-extraordinaire, about growing up in the greatest food city in the world, eating well while on tour, and playing music festivals in Japan. Karina currently plays bass in Marco Benevento's band, has opened for Khruangbin, and has played live on stage with Phish.
