G-towner non-frowners. Thanks for being here. This was a lost episode where my pal Kevin Landry interviewed me in Sept 2021 right before I was shipping out to Dartmouth NS to record "Simple Complex" with Joel Plaskett, Charles Austin and so many more talented east coast musical pals. We did it with a phone mic live at the beautiful Big Rig so you definitely hear some clinking and clacking of dishes and cutlery, but it was a fun vibe. I hope you enjoy it and keep finding ways to cultivate joy in your life.

My new album "Geographics" is out now on all platforms. You can buy the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album on my bandcamp page, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride.

Friends and fam in the Graventown flock - you're in for a treat for my 50th episode. How do you describe a one-woman ultra-unique powerfully poignant force of nature who is a comedian, director, content creator, film maker, musician and professional dancer? Simple; it's Toni Nagy. Toni is a self decribed "writer that writes real good". Toni is also a stand up comedian and film maker, and has been working diligently for the past 15 years creating content for the internet "often encouraging people to spend less time on the internet (EXCEPT IF THEY ARE LOOKING AT HER!)" Her work often blends kinetic movement with speech and takes a philosophical look at the world, and tries to deconstruct your perception and then reconstruct it again using neon construction paper. Follow Toni on Instagram here. We had a beautiful open chat about mental health and creativity and I'd highly recommend you listen to this one.

Hello pals. If you've made it this far through the carcasts, you win a pretzel. Please redeem your voucher at gravensuperfans dot org slash gadzooks. Just kidding. What do I look like? A freakin' pretzel factory ova hee-yeah?! (insert bouncing thumb to four fingers fazool hand gesture) But in all honesty - this one was the gem of my summer carcast series. The audio was great and I felt like my mind and heart were in very thankful places down in the precious pretty pasture of the Picton realm of The County at the acoustic grill. More to come! Stay tuned, you gifted groovers of Graventown.

Hello again from the golden Graventown fountain pen. My apologies for the audio in this episode (as for a good 17 minutes, it sounds like I'm recording it on an airplane ON the actual wing of the aircraft) but I hope you catch the vibe. I'm having fun popping these mind mints in your brain mouth. Does that make any sense? I might be one of the wittiest and verbally eviscerating wordsmiths of our generation, but I might also be a complete imbecile. I'll let you decide. This ditty was recorded on my way to a surprise birthday party my megatalented magical pal Stephen Stanley in the 416. Yes. It's another podcast on the road to Toronto. The hits just keep onnnnn comin'. Love you all.

Ballers. What's the shot? Here's another Carcast on one of my 78 trips to Toronto in 2023. Just kidding - but I bet I went to that lovely city about 7/8 times this year. It's like muscle memory for my Civic, now. I just punch in the coordinates and take a nap. But in all seriousness, this was before playing a showcase show at Great Lakes Brewery for the Four Winds Festival that happened on July 14-16. Great Lakes is a beautiful beer making machine filled with lovely folks and I had a splendid time getting connected with their crew. My main man Russ Boden met me down there and we shared a few pretzels. Anyways - enjoy the pod, you filthy animals. Love you.

Folks. Hello. It's been quiet on the dusty Graventown podcast front. Tumbleweeds have been rustling in studio 26K. It's been a busy summer and the fall isn't slowing down anytime soon - but in lieu of that schedule sap-stuck flow from the podcast tree (am I mixing too many metaphors here? Probably) - I thought I'd throw up (figuratively, not literally) a few carcast episodes from the summer. After all - my car really is my journalpod while I'm on the road (and I was literally Kerouac this summer - ok, I'll stop) so I did a lot of thinking and talking. Please enjoy this pre montreal mindpainter as I was mid-tour with Dennis Ellsworth and about to play some tunes with my pal Gideloa Rock N Rolla (Gideon Yellin) at the cool cozy haunt that Martha Wainwright created called Ursa. Enjoy!

Well golden Graventowners: that was a lot of fun having Simeon Ross on for the second time since starting the podcast - and before even hitting number 50 on the podcast dial yet. Call me Captain Nepotism. Sigrun Stella is a multi number 1 hit releasing artist from Iceland who was with us in spirit but had another project to tend to in Antartica. Simeon Ross is a talented filmmaker, music creator, producer, multi instrumentalist and all around fairly funny human who I love. We had a whale of a time chatting and I hope you did the same while listening. CHECK OUT OUR SHOW WHERE THE SIMEON ROSS, SIGRUN STELLA AND MYSELF AND MY FULL BAND PLAY TOGETHER ON AUGUST 25TH IN TORONTO AT THE GARRISON.  MORE INFO HERE.

We're back at it again with the sonic white vans, friends. That's a tik tok reference from 2016. I try to stay hip.  I hope you enjoy this lovely interview with singer songwriter and side player Ally Corbett. Ally knows everyone and they all think she is awesome. Ally Corbett is a folk singer-songwriter from St. John's, NL who is now based in Kitchener, Ontario. A versatile fiddler and seasoned performer, it is Ally's artistry as a songwriter and storyteller that can silence a room. Spinning melodies that linger long after they are sung, her heartfelt lyrics have garnered her comparisons to John Prine and Daniel Johnston. Ally Corbett's first solo EP, "What's in It for You?" was released in June 2022 and it's a humdinger. Ally tours regularly and plays accordion for The Mahones and sometimes sits in with the country music collective residency called The Empty Glasses at the Rivoli in Toronto, Ontario. We chatted about a great many musical things and I hope you allowed your ears steer you to peace and kindness.  Follow Ally on Instagram or check out her website for more info.

He's had some incredible A list guests and he's getting deep into the podcast power zone.  You can buy tickets here.

Fishes of the pod pond; I have not been casting my pod-reel and for that, I apologize - but I've been extremely busy (like a buzzing pollenating bee in a hive of wild music/dad life activity) - so I hope you've been alright with the unannounced hiatus, but just like that - Graventown is back bbz. Today on the podcast, I was very lucky to snag a few golden minutes from a jewel of a human who is always shining and glimmering in many different musical directions; Craig Smith. Craig is a Collingwood, Ontario songwriter in the great folk rock band called Ontarians but he is also a sound engineer, producer, multi instrumentalist, father, renaissance man and just an all around swell fella. He and I became fast pals when he was the entertainment coordinator of a magical spot in Collingwood called Crow Bar and Variety. He had me back quite a few times to take that lovely stage with my band, and a friendship sparked. He and his partner Ariana Dalie are the main lynchpins and curators for a brand new festival called Four Winds Music Festival (in Durham, Ontario on the lovely Riverstone Eco Retreat grounds) and it's all happening July 14-16. I am playing at the festival with my full five alarm band along with some amazing superstar and up and comer acts like Sarah Harmer, Danny Michel, Elliott Brood, Julian Taylor, Queen M, Mountain Head, Jolie Smith, Alysha Brilla and so many more. We had one heck of a lovely chat. For more info about Four Winds, head to the website for tickets and showtimes and I truly am "stoke-level-zebra" to see any and all Graventowners there.
