Myles From Home

Jill Barber - Jill is one of my oldest friends in the business.  Since meeting her over 15 years ago, I realized I had a life long friend and confidant. She is often the person I go to have conversations about life and career stuff so having her on the show was really special. She’s incredibly smart, hard working and is not afraid to embrace the stage. I admire that. We get into all this and more in this hour long chat.  http://jillbarber.com

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE -  Donovan Woods - I was really looking forward to this chat. Donovan’s got a cool career. He works a ton as a songwriter in Nashville, but also has a great career as a solo singer/songwriter in his own right. He’s managed do both super well, which is rare. Plus, if you’ve ever seen him in concert you know how insanely funny he is. This chat totally lived up to my expectations. He was hilarious and forthright and we got into it about collaboration, concerts that are too long and parenting. 

Tom Power- What’s it like to chat with one of Canada’s most famous interviewers? Pretty awesome actually. Sure I was a bit freaked about the idea at first but Tom is genuine dude who puts you at ease. It’s a big part of what makes him such a celebrated broadcaster as host of the landmark radio show Q on CBC. It was a real honour having this conversation with Tom. His honesty and wisdom at such a young age is astounding. Check out Q here www.cbc.ca/radio/q and check out Tom’s band, The Dardanelles here www.thedardanelles.com.

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Erin Costelo - I feel like Erin Costelo and I are two peas in a pod. Total music nerds. I love chatting with Erin every time I get the chance and this conversation was no exception. She’s an amazing singer/songwriter with crazy chops for arranging and producing. She has a master’s degree in composition from North Texas (one of the most reputable music schools in the world) and, from what I can tell, is only getting started! We get to talk about creation in the time of the pandemic and her ongoing work as a producer (a role she’s exceptionally well suited for, in my opinion). Please check out her music at www.erincostelo.com

Alan Doyle - If you’ve ever seen Alan Doyle on stage as either the front man of Great Big Sea or his own solo band, you know he loves his job! And because of that, he’s one of the hardest working, most positive people I know in the music business. Even during the pandemic, he hasn’t slowed down a bit. In fact, he wrote a hilarious brand new book called “All Together Now.” We talk about that, his work ethic and his love adventure on this episode. What a blast. Check out his website www.alandoyle.ca.

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) - I’ve been fan of Afie’s music for a long time but over the last couple years we've become good friends. I admire and respect Afie a lot and I’m grateful to be able to go to him to have serious conversations about all sorts of things. So, naturally, getting to have this conversation was a real treat. We got into it about the importance of boredom, connecting to the eternal through art, being a motivated parent and more. Also, check out Afie’s new record Sad Hunk, it’s rad. 

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Jenn Grant -  One of Atlantic Canada’s most prolific, consistent and interesting artists, Jenn Grant and I have been friends and colleagues for a long time now. Loved having her on the show. Her openness is amazing. She’s all spirit and I admire that so much about her. Check out Jenn’s website at www.jenngrant.com 

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Adam Baldwin - Beloved by his fans, honest as heck, super smart and a really good hang. This was a really great one and convinced me why it was important to have these conversations.  Check out Adam’s website at www.adambaldwin.ca 

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Jennah Barry - Her last record, Holiday, was in my top 5 of 2020. I’m a huge fan and I think she’s one of the country’s most underrated songwriters. She’s also hilarious and a great person to chat with. Check out her website at iamjennahbarry.com

Sheree Fitch - An award-winning poet and author, Sheree was a like second mother to me as a child (her son was my best friend). This was so special to get to connect and talk deeply about life, love and loss. So much wisdom here from her. This conversation was first broadcast on YouTube Live as a Myles From Home special.
