Myra Melford - Creating A Joyous Space

Saison 4 · Épisode 62

mardi 11 novembre 2025 • Durée 19:47

Myra Melford is an American avant-garde pianist, composer, educator, and improvisor. Her music is unique, exciting, and brave, evolving from an approach to the piano that is percussive, athletic, and uber-dynamic, and compositions that are exploratory, poetic, visual, and thought-provoking.

Melford is an interdisciplinary artist of the highest order. Awarded the Alpert Award in the Arts for Music in 2012, plus the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award in 2013, she has released over 30 albums in various configurations (solo, duo, trio, quartet, quintet), and has collaborated with some of the greatest talents in contemporary music. Her most recent release is entitled Splash (with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer/vibraphonist Ches Smith), and is inspired by the work of the post-abstract expressionist painter Cy Twombly.

This interview was recorded in June, 2025 in Hamilton, ON, during the Something Else Festival. Thank you to Festival Director Cem Zafir (Our guest for Episode 60), plus Donna Akrey and the rest of the staff and volunteers.

Saison 3 · Épisode 52

vendredi 11 octobre 2024 • Durée 37:36

"...love well, live long, run with it before it's gone..." That line is from the song "Baby's on a Bike", by today's guests, Ontarians. As Craig Smith (the band's co-founder) says, "that kind of sums it up".

Ontarians is roots rock from the heart of the Canadian Shield. Their attitude towards making music is joyful, collaborative, and organic. Hailing from Collingwood, ON, and Sault Ste. Marie, ON, co-founders Craig Smith and Frank Deresti started the group in 2018. The band's sophomore album—More How It Is—was released in September. In today's conversation, you'll hear about their approach to creating songs, swimming in lakes, herding cats, raising daughters, and avoiding encounters with bears.

Mike Downie & Johnny Fay - No Dress Rehearsal

Saison 3 · Épisode 51

vendredi 20 septembre 2024 • Durée 01:40:20

No Dress Rehearsal is a 4-part documentary about one of Canada's most-loved rock bands - The Tragically Hip. The film premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Sept 5, and has been screening at Film Festivals around the country. It is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.

The Tragically Hip rose to rock stardom in the late 80s and early 90s. They toured and recorded relentlessly, and by the late 90s, they were practically a household name. To the great delight of their fans, they showed no signs of stopping. Ever. Then, in 2015, the band’s iconic lead singer—Gord Downie—was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. He passed away in October, 2017, and a nation mourned the loss of a musical icon, cultural mentor, and cherished storyteller.

The film highlights the endurance of the musical bond, and the mutual love and respect that developed over 30+ years that the band created, recorded, and toured together. The loss of Gord Downie dealt a massive blow, but through the empathetic lens of the film's director Mike Downie (Gord's brother), the remaining members of the band—Paul Langlois, Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair, and Johnny Fay—have found a way to tell the story of Gord and The Hip in their own words. The documentary features rare archival footage, plus candid interviews with band members, family, friends, and colleagues. It is a heartfelt and honest portrayal of life, loss, and love. Above all, it’s about the power of music, and the ways in which Gord Downie was able to captivate, motivate, and inspire.

In this interview, host Jane Gowan speaks with Director Mike Downie and drummer Johnny Fay about the film, the band, and their beloved departed brother and bandmate, Gord.

Jim Cuddy - Appreciating the Journey

Saison 2 · Épisode 49

vendredi 26 juillet 2024 • Durée 01:09:02

This episode is a special co-production between Music Buddy and the Skydiggers' podcast, Employee of the Myth

"Blue Rodeo were at the vanguard of creating a national movement of roots music...that really captured peoples' imaginations in the late 80s early 90s, and continues to this day" — Andy Maize

"The thing about community is that there are a lot of opportunities to give...[The] Christmas show from Skydiggers always feels like a gift... like [they're] doing this as an offering...Their band has never really let me down. I listen to every record and I think 'good on ya boys, you did again'. That show is like that too - one thing after another that's given to the audience, and it's not about their career, it's about this offering at a very important time of year"— Jim Cuddy

Loyalty, gratitude, and a belief in living: These are some of the things that motivate and inspire musician, singer, and songwriter Jim Cuddy. His new album All The World Fades Away (June, 2024) is—in his words—a "fictionalized memoir". It's a collection of personal and poignant songs infused with appreciation of life, love, family, and friendship.

Please enjoy this special conversation with guest Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. Featuring Andy Maize, Jane Gowan, Joel Stewart, and Tim Vesely.

Thank you to Susan de Cartier and Judith Coombe at Starfish Entertainment for helping to facilitate this interview.

Chris Wong - Journeys to the Bandstand

Saison 2 · Épisode 48

mercredi 22 mai 2024 • Durée 59:22

One city, two Cellars, seven decades, and thirty vibrant jazz personalities. Journeys to the Bandstand: Thirty Jazz Lives in Vancouver is the debut book by author and veteran music journalist Chris Wong (Vancouver Sun, Georgia Straight, Vancouver Courier). It is an in-depth and rich account of the remarkable life stories of several key protagonists in Vancouver’s jazz and improv scene.

From lesser-known icons such as trumpeter John Dawe, to revolutionary shape shifters such as pianist Al Neil, to essential leaders in today's scene such as bassist Jodi Proznick, Wong chronicles this carefully-curated selection of intriguing lives with a gentle compassion, a steadfast respect for the truth, and a deep love and understanding of the art form itself.

The book describes the inspiration, passion, and the lure of a life dedicated to music, but also the emotional, economic, and physical toll that can often accompany such a choice. While chronicling the professional trajectories of his chosen subjects, Wong also shines a light on a city with a rich jazz culture, a supportive community, and a fascinating musical history.

Music samples in this episode:
"Jordu" by Duke Jordan - The Al Neil Quintet (Al Neil - The Cellar Years: Archival Recordings from 1957)
"Modal" - The Al Neil Trio (Retrospective 1965-68)

Festival Season, Pt. 3 - Tall Pines Music & Arts Festival

Saison 2 · Épisode 47

lundi 6 mai 2024 • Durée 36:23

Is there anything better than listening to your favourite band while sitting outside in the sun with friends, family, and fellow music-lovers? Very few experiences can top the feeling you get from soaking up fresh air and soundwaves simultaneously. So, as summer approaches, we bring you "Festival Season" - a special 3-part series on music festivals.

Music festivals appear to pop up out of nowhere - in a city park, in the green space beside a lake, or on a farm next to a river. All of a sudden, a field becomes a dance floor for a main stage; or a leafy forest grove transforms into an intimate music workshop. It seems instantaneous, but a festival takes months—and sometimes years—to plan and produce. Staff and volunteers work tirelessly to bring music fans the most entertaining, uplifting, safe, and memorable experience possible.

In this series, we talk to a few of the wonderful people that work around the clock to bring us these magical events.

Part 3 - KEVIN GOODMAN: Tall Pines Music & Arts Festival
As the CEO of Front Row Centre Music & Entertainment Marketing, Kevin Goodman brings passion, enthusiasm and a boat load of experience to his current endeavours in the music world. He has a talent for facilitating the connections that allow the dream to become a reality, creating an unforgettable summer festival experience for musicians and fans alike. 15 bands, live art, food trucks, local vendors, kids' zone, beachfront, canoeing, and much more: that's what you'll find at the Tall Pines Music Festival, July 19 & 20 in Gull Lake Park, Muskoka.

In this episode Ariana and Craig talk about how a phone call home from Antarctica started them on their current path, and how their passion for music plus their individual strengths enable them to create a shared dream: presenting year-round concerts, plus a 3-day summer festival on 136 acres of green space in Southern Ontario.

Part 1 - SPENCER SHEWEN: Mariposa Folk Music Festival & Riverfest Elora
Spencer is the Artistic Director of both the Mariposa Folk Festival and Riverfest Elora.
Throughout his many years working with music festivals, he's learned that producing a successful music festival is a juggling act, a game of strategy, and an endurance test. But the payoff is big and joyous and filled with amazing music and good times! In this conversation, Spencer talks about his experience with both festivals, some of the artists that he's excited about presenting this year, and how a cardboard Tony Danza ended up touring with The Beaches rock band.
