A Conversation with Tom Cochrane
It was 1994, and I was packing up and heading to Europe to spend 6 months backpacking and finding myself. As an 18-year-old Canadian I proudly donned the Canadian Flag on my bag and trekked the European countryside with only two cassette tapes to keep me company. Both were Canadian albums of course, as I couldn’t imagine not having a piece of Canadiana with me as I made memories that have lasted a lifetime. One of those cassettes was Mad Mad World by Tom Cochrane. As a young Canuck heading out for the first time on my own, it was Tom’s voice that created the soundtrack to my first life changing experience as a young man. It was this album that made me feel like I never left the back roads of the Ottawa Valley.

Dallas Smith Hits the Tippin’ Point in Guelph
People were anxious to see Dallas Smith in Guelph. Fans lined up in the cold an hour before the doors opened. Want to avoid the line up? The VIP experience gets you in to see the sound check, a Meet & Greet, commemorative tour laminate and priority access to the merch table. You can check out all the details here.
I wanted to take a minute and say what a beautiful venue this is. The sound was great, I love the old school feel, the balcony and the staff were spot on. It was a pleasure spending time here.
Sundy Best Guelph Stop of the Tippin’ Point Tour
On Wednesday night we had the pleasure of attending the Guelph stop of Dallas Smith‘s Tippin’ Point Tour. Arrangements to interview the guys from Sundy Best in the afternoon but, life has a way of reminding us that sometimes, things are out of our control. First, Corey was unable to attend and that left me in the driver’s seat. We headed into Guelph arriving early for our scheduled time. This gave me time to do some research and put together some questions of my own for Kris and Nick. And then my phone rang. Getting a call from the tour manager, just before your scheduled interview time isn’t usually a good thing. But in this case, it was a quick call to let us know they were a little behind schedule, nothing more.
