Taylor Cochrane is the driving force behind Calgary's acclaimed '36?'. Along with his partner, singer/songwriter Laura Hickli, he was touring the United States until the COVID-19 shutdown forced a return to Calgary. I spoke with the power couple via Facebook video chat. The wide ranging interview was fun, reflective and enlightening. Enjoy!
Roofeo and Goodword are two of Calgary's finest DJs. We chat about their inspiration, greatest gigs, the art of stealing and what they've learned about music from their kids.
Talented, Dedicated and Fun: Freak Motif are one of Calgary's favourite bands. Even vast Canadian geography cannot prevent this funk tribe from bringing their talents to stages and record. I talk to Stu Wershof (in Montreal) and Stef Haynes (in Toronto) for some interprovincial good vibes.
