Records & Rockstars

These two are at the top of my list of bands that could rule the world, or at the very least, make it a better place to be, through their music. Singer/guitarist Ash Buchholz and MC and master of the turntable Jason “Human Kebab” Parsons join me to spread word of their latest album New World Alphabet and perform live in at Wild Woods Toronto.

Music obsessed looping master Dylan Hennessy is becoming known for his bizarrely cool re-workings of other people’s songs alongside his own singer-songwriter pieces. I know of nobody more tethered to the pursuit of creativity than he.

From the needs-no-introduction department, here’s my November 30, 2016 one on one with James Hetfield who opens up about everything I throw his way, the morning after Metallica delivered a blistering show at Toronto’s famed east end venue, The Opera House. One of us is ridiculously hungover. The other is on the wagon.

This is what the two guitar players from Finger 11 do when they really want to have fun. On acoustic guitar and vocals, is James Black. Trading his guitar for a banj-i-tar (he’ll explain) is Rick Jackett. Blackie Jackett Jr. channel the time-honored tune-smithing of legends like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. To put it simply – this band is thematically all about the who/what/where/when and why of whiskey, weed, and women.

They’ve long killed it on record and ultimately on the concert stage, and they do it again, much more intimately in this episode, starring lead guitarist James Black and lead singer Scott Anderson of Finger 11.
