Today's show features two interviews with very different artists. First up is Richard of The Infectuals from Kamloops, BC. This is a re-broadcast of the interview I recorded on a spontaneous moment when I was hosting a fill-in slot on a Saturday afternoon. 10 minutes later Richard pulled his van over the side of the road and patched through directly on air! Richard speak about how he comes from a very musical family and that his father actually started UBC's very own Pit Pub back in the 1960s.
Singer-songwriter Andy Gordon, a self-described beardy-country artist, with an appreciation for history and the gift of well-crafted song, has just released his latest full-length album The Reverent Jorfy. Andy takes us on a journey into Australia's past as he reveals the story behind his single Breelong Black, which is a powerful alt folk retelling of the story of the Aboriginal bush ranger Jimmy Governor, as first documented in the Thomas Keneally novel 'The Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith'.
