Chances are, you’ve never heard of Kevin Head, but there are few songwriters in Canada who’ve accomplished what “The Original Salt Cod Cowboy” has. The Nova Scotia native been writing and recording music for nearly forty years and has performed alongside some of the best musicians in the country. Derek sat down with Kevin at The Tranzac Club in Toronto to talk about the challenges of making music and art your full-time job, the many hats songwriters must wear to do this, and how playing live music has changed over the years.

After the interview, we preview next week’s episode with Ron Leary by playing clips of an interview we did with him last year that we never aired.
