Radio Somewhere

Happy International Women's Day!!!

Thanks for checking out this "Female Focused" Canadian music podcast, and thanks to Language arts, this week's guest:

How's she goin' b'y? Or "Hello" in any Province other than Nova Scotia, where my guest (and I) both hail from. 

Kristen is in the band Language arts and when I asked her to describe what the band sounds like she fittingly said "Pop music with intension". Language arts performed a show at the legendary Divan Orange here in Montreal the night of this podcast, and we talk about how sad it is going to be once it's gone (ugh so sad)! 

We also chat about the live show and what having a conversation with the audience means. Kristen tells me about how the newest album is really a DIY project and re-counts some cool memories when making the newest record (not out yet, but soon)! Also, remember Pert Plus?! We dooooo!

Leela of The Damn Truth says it best herself when she said "None of us want to do anything else in this world". That's how driven her and her family are to keep focused on this life of music they have. 

The Damn Truth are based in Montreal, but have played all over Canada, and are now touring the US (plus performing on a rock cruise with heavy weights like Van Halen)! We chat about loving the life you've got, and the importance of re-creating your art in the process.

It was such a pleasure having Leela on, as we discuss some of the things women deal with on a daily basis, and are STILL dealing with in 2018....ahem. 

She plays a rockin tune at the end of the show so hang out for that too! Check out their latest record "Devilish Folk" and look out for The Damn Truth at all the festivals this summer!! 

oh, and thanks for supporting Canadian music and Radio Somewhere!

Lisa and Kirsten are 2/6 of the Fast Romantics. A Toronto based band of pals. I used to live across the street from Kirty, and Lisa and I were *Almost* in the same band, once. 

So glad the gals came by the living room to chat about the current landscape in the women's movement (aka, we're not taking shit anymore, hello!) and obviously we had to hash out the best Karaoke jams ever. 

Hang out until the end of the podcast to hear the latest tune from Fast Romantics "Get Loved" the social experiment / awesome tune. 

HUGE thanks to Kirty and Lisa, Fast Romantics, and YOU for rating, subscribing, and downloading the Radio Somewhere Podcast.

I had so much fun recording this podcast. 

Emily Rowed is so creative, the inspirational energy is infectious when you're around her. We talk her new record Electric Heart is out now, and she is kind enough to perform a tune "Live in the Living Room". 

 

Since it's summertime when this podcast was recorded, we talk love, taking risks, and trying something new. 

This is the final episode of SEASON 1. There will be more Radio Somewhere podcast coming NEXT WEEK. Season 2 will be beginning. The Montreal Chapter.

Shawnee is one of the most chill artists I've interviewed so far on Radio Somewhere. That doesn't mean she won't tell you what's on her mind thought. Intelligent, songwriting, powerful message, and the experience to know how music really is medicine. 

We talk her new song Warrior Heart (where she's donating all the processed to a rad cause), Figuring out there's more to the music industry than learning piano, and writing songs, and what it's like to really figure out the kind of artist you want to be. 

You'll hear the tune Warrior Heart at the end, but go pick it up as the money is being donated to a great cause. 

 

Thanks to Mavis, and Shawnee for being part of the Radio Somewhere Family! And thanks to YOU for rating, subscribing and downloading the Radio Somewhere Podcast!

This week features Robyn Dell'Unto! Composer, Producer and one of the most driven women I've ever met. She's got a new record out called Beaconsfield . I basically geek out about how much I love her song 'Common' so that's the one we play. We talk future dreams of no one knowing who you are, yet still having your songs plays for millions, and the pure joy that can come from taking a risk.     HUGE thanks to Robyn for being on my podcast and to YOU for downloading, rating and subscribing the #RadioSomewhere podcast!   Follow Robyn on twitter: https://twitter.com/robyndellunto

Special thanks to Jason and Trison of the band IDUNA for hanging out on the Radio Somewhere Podcast! We chat about what they have in common with Half Moon Run, how it's hard to be in a band as you get older, and how awesome it's been opening for 90's icons like Bif Naked and The Odds. (We opened for Bif Naked with them, and it was AMAZING, thank you Bif!!!). If you’re in Toronto - August 26th Iduna is playing the legendary Horseshoe Tavern. See ya there!
