Mulligan Stew

Founder, lead singer and songwriter of D.O.A, Joe Keithley, aka Joey Shithead is Terry’s guest this week. Keithley was recently elected city councilor in Burnaby, BC as a member of the Burnaby Green Party. The 62 year-old punk rocker talks to us about his recent political victory, the issues that matter to him, his band’s legacy and label Sudden Death Records.

Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón talks to Terry about his new Golden Globe-winning film Roma. The film offers a very personal take on Alfonso’s upbringing in Mexico City, and is centered on a young indigenous woman named Cleo who works as a maid for Alfonso’s middle-class family. The director, writer, producer and editor talks about the inception of the film, and why he absolutely had to tell the story, following his success with blockbusters like Gravity and Children of Men.

Elvin Bishop was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015 for his work with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Just one year later, he was also added to the ranks of the Blues Hall of Fame in his own right. This year, Elvin was nominated for a Grammy for his latest album, 'Something Smells Funky Round Here.'

Terry talks to Elvin about his amazing career, his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, protest music in 2019, and his mentors Otis Rush and Little Smokey Smothers.

Terry talks to writer and producer Nick Vallelonga about his Golden Globe-nominated film Green Book. Set in 1962, the film tells the story of Vallelonga's father Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen) a bouncer from the Bronx who is hired to drive and protect pianist Dr. Don Shirley (Mashershala Ali) on a concert tour from New York to the Deep South. The pair use "The Green Book" to guide them to establishments safe for African-Americans.

Canadian hit-maker Serena Ryder previews her new album Christmas Kisses, produced by Bob Ezrin.

“When I was a young girl, I would spend hours upon hours locked away in my room listening and singing to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simon and Chet Baker" shares Ryder. "It’s been a dream of mine to be able to sing an entire album in this style"

The podcast includes "Christmas Song" "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" "White Christmas" and "Blue Christmas".

Terry talks to Andy Shauf about his band Foxwarren's new self-titled album, a record that was more than a decade in the making. Andy shares insights into four songs from the record, including "Your Small Town", "To Be", "I'll Be Alright", and "Fall Into A Dream." Plus, Andy provides a few details on his forthcoming solo record due out in late 2019.

From the vaults, Terry talks with writer, actor, and comedian Bruce McCulloch of The Kids in the Hall fame (maybe you remember him as Kathie the Secretary, Cabbage Head or as pop singing sensation Tammy?)

Terry talks to Bruce about his book 'Let’s Start A Riot: How A Young Drunk Punk Became a Hollywood Dad.' Their conversation touches on family, his musical tastes, and includes a story about the time he put his wife through “The Jukebox Test” when they first started dating.

Steve Poltz joins Terry live at the 2018 Edmonton Folk Music Festival to discuss co-writing songs with Jewel, including a story about the time they almost lost the lyrics to her chart-topping hit "You Were Meant for Me". Between live songs, Steve also tells Terry about rediscovering a half-completed song he co-wrote with Jewel, and how Molly Tuttle aims to bring that song to completion in 2018.

Songs performed include "Mother Russia" and "Fistfight at a Vegan Lunch".

This week on the Mulligan Stew Podcast, we throw back to warmer days when Jenn Grant was in Alberta performing at the 2018 Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Jenn joined Terry at CKUA’s festival broadcast tent to share live renditions of songs from her latest album ‘Paradise,’ backed by her husband and musical collaborator Daniel Ledwell. Plus, Jenn shared a few details on her forthcoming album, produced by Portland’s own Tucker Martine.

From the archives, Tom Wilson (LeE HARVeY OsMOND) joins Terry to discuss his book Beautiful Scars: Steeltown Secrets, Mohwak Skywalkers and the Road Home. Tom talks about his recovery from alcoholism, the dark moments he experienced during the heights of success with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings & Junkhouse, and discovering the family secret that changed everything.
