Hope is a hard thing to come by these days, but Brantford, Ontario-based singer/songwriter Denzel Gordon and his band The Unlynchables are keeping the flame alive. Joining me to talk about his first full-length album, the recently released "Treasure Chest", Denzel also speaks about growing up as the son of Jamaican immigrants in rural Ontario, the power of cautious melancholy optimism, and so much more.

Check out "Treasure Chest" and other Unlynchables releases on their Bandcamp page (https://theunlynchables.bandcamp.com).
