Music News, Reviews and Interviews
Rupa of Rupa and The April Fishes is a brilliant songwriter and singer. Her band, The Fishes, are a gang of musicians almost too good for music’s sakes. Given all this – music is not the most important thing going on within their new record.
Please listen below to a very important conversation with Rupa about many issues affecting our world today. It may save your life.
Christina Martin, the multi-award winning Canadian singer / songwriter appears to be on a mission. A socially-conscience trip which has her doing her part to get messages to the masses.
Her latest disc offers a tune relating to the rising Fentanyl addiction / problem plaguing our society. Lungs are Burning is a heart-warming, painful reminder that people must step up or else accept the dire consequences.
Please listen below to my chat with Christina and hear some great tunes from the album Impossible To Hold
Garland Jeffreys is one of ‘those’ people. Following in the footsteps of his dear friend Lou Reed; Garland took chances when most shied away from controversy.
Adding poignant anti- racist lyrics to cutting edge music – Garland was not afraid to speak his mind. Folks such as Bruce Springsteen heralded Garland as a go-to man for inspiration.
Please listen below to my chat with Garland about his ‘retirement’, baseball and racism today among other things.
*Correction. Show is at L’Olympia not Place des Arts. Apologies.
Most of the great tunes are released to no fanfare from anyone – let alone to the common man.
Have a listen below to some new tracks, a couple of familiar tracks and some shows coming soon to Montreal !

Marillion drummer Ian Mosley was one of those kids and unlike many – the now sixty-five year old Brit has not stopped.
Banging the skins with Marillion since 1984, Ian’s musical education commenced long before that. Privy to up close and personal performances by the likes of Buddy Rich, Ian is schooled in drumming.
Please listen below to Part One of my chat with Ian about his life as a drummer and his new book. Keep in mind – if Ian owes you money, he won’t respond.
