Foothills Famous: Conversations With Calgary Entertainers

Calgary's most loveable hip-hop crew, the Jazzlib Collective, stop by to talk about music, hip-hop, boy bands, life, jazz, Google Docs, the virtues of mumble rap, producing an album inside of a Honda, band philosophy and the reason why they've been hanging out at my house longer than I have.

Rob Reuser makes things out of metal. He also makes music. On top of that, he's my longtime friend. Listen to us discuss art, music, frisbee golf, old times and more!

Gary Martin and his band, the Heavenly Blues, have Bowness rocking every Sunday afternoon. The man has had a legendary career and is a member of the legendary Funk Brothers. He shares of his experiences and his uplifting philosophies about music.

My great friends King Lou, SoLeo and Wyzaker have a new group, entitled Hydramental. A producer focussed collaborative rooted in hip hop, but touching on a wide range of genres. We talk about learning their craft back in the day, the genesis of this project, song of the day club and the effects of fatherhood on their music.

Spencer Streichelt is a well known YYC stand up comedian, but has also written scripts and starred in both stage and screen acting. We have an honest and open chat about showbiz, real life, goals and balance.

Big Nate Reno is not hard to find. At 6'6 he can be easily spotted in a crowd, and as a player in local band Kyoktys, promotor, sound engineer, producer and podcast host, his hands are all over the YYC heavy metal scene.

Meet Sarah from Sarah Sociables. She runs a website and social media accounts dedicated to keeping you up to date on the restaurants, pubs, speakeasies and special events that make Calgary such a great place to let loose in. We chat about the city while sharing a Wild Rose.

In 2003 Calgary's Sittin' Idol found themselves opening for heavy metal legends Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, formerly of Pantera. By the end of the evening, they were faced with a choice: drop everything and join the tour, or forever wonder 'what-if'. Vocalist Scott Lennox shares the whole story.

Everything Calgary Flames!

A chat with Beesley, the iconic voice of the Saddledome, a visit to some local breweries hoping to cash in on the playoffs, and a brand new song by Ricca Razor Sharp, Iron Lion, King Lou and Wyzaker.

Calgary comedian and comedy promotor Amy Edgar stops by for a great chat about matters both funny and serious.
