A couple weeks back I had the chance to sit down and chat with the incredible Jessica Mitchell. We talked about her new EP Hold Onto The Light and what it was like finally putting out the EP after all the hard work over the last couple years. Check it out. And be sure to grab Hold Onto The Light it might be the best 4.99 you spend this week.
In Conversation with Hugh Dillon
I had a chance to chat with, in my personal opinion, one of the very best frontmen of any rock act in the 90’s and likely even to date in Canada. Hugh Dillon was leader of the fist pumpin’, beer chuggin’ & hard rockin’ crowds in the 90’s right across Canada for the band, Headstones. The band took a brief hiatus to regain some steam and hit the ground running for their second lap 5 or 6 years back. If you don’t know who the Headstones are keep reading; you’re about to get educated. And if you do, keep reading. Hugh gives one hell of a interview. As a general disclaimer, this is a conversation more than an interview, because Hugh is someone you talk with, not to.
Q & A with Yoan…
We had a chance to ask Yoan a few questions about what he has been up to since we last spoke and how life has changed over the last year or so.
The Dakota Hosts Big Paquin Agency Talents
I always love going to songwriter events. They have such a great atmosphere and it is so relaxed and genuine. The Dakota Tavern has been host to the last few I have attended in the Four Chords And The Truth events. Now, Paquin Artists Agency is putting on their own, also at The Dakota. It’s a perfect venue for the ‘in the round’ performance. It isn’t a large space, so it is naturally quite intimate and everyone loves the stage setup with the lighting and decor.
Tailgating in London ON before the Circus show
Our friends over at Budweiser Gardens in London, ON, sure know how to throw a kick ass party on a Saturday night.
