People In Your Neighbourhood

It is my pleasure to introduce you to my friend and my pastor, Tim Nuttall! He moved his amazing family to Windsor over 2 years ago, and has a natural way of showing appreciation to the people in his life. And appreciating life, period. Surprisingly, we don't talk about the music we grew up on. He's a radical and I am glad he's one of the People In My Neighbourhood... Banwell Community Church - YouTube and Facebook Once again, we are graced by the musical stylings of Lp. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/PIYN/message

Geoff literally kept me alive. Many times. When Geoff joined the first band I ever managed, Leaderdogs For The Blind, he and I would travel from Windsor, ON to Flint, MI several times a week for band meetings, rehearsals and general shenanigans. And he introduced me to the music of the Foo Fighters. I am grateful for both. We talk roller rinks, lying to parents and always having each other's back. Here are some of the things we covered: The Tragic Story of Emmett Till Laforet Film & Creative Leaderdogs For The Blind Bangupstate Overtaken Premonition The Olde Tivoli Theatre Thousand Foot Krutch Cheap Flight Podcast Alien Beans Studio Foo Fighters King's X Cornerstone Festival Composer extraordinaire: Lp --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/PIYN/message

Kari was the last stage of my approval process. Even though I had known my future wife for more than 15 years, I still had to pass the Kari Test! Fortunately, I did, and here we are. Kari is one of the People In My Neighbourhood that embodies Resilience and Tenacity. Her whole family has taken us in and every time we get together, the food and beverage is exceptional and the conversations around the room are warm and loving. I look forward to the book she's going to write, the way she encourages my wife (and everyone she meets) and her next step in the journey! Here are some things we covered: The FeminineXperience Easy - Camila Cabello (SNL) Aerial Arts of Rochester Courage To Change (Book) Calling In "The One" (Book) Tony Robbins The Pursuit Of Happyness (Book) As always, Lp lights up our surroundings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/PIYN/message

Windsor and Essex County is a better place because Kevin moved back to town with his family. Yes, that is a mighty bold statement, and I stand by it. The continuing revitalization of historic Ford City owes something to the New Song Church community and the leader with a vision to buy a 1920's bar at its centre. The community that helped bring me and my kids back to life. A preacher and a lawyer walk into a bar, and one of them Introduces Larry Norman to Detroit Public Radio...

The Founder of True Tunes is one of several hats that John wears, and he shares many of the lessons he learned in spite of himself.

1996 was a banner year for me. I became a father, started managing my first band and met this guy in the Small Business Law class I was teaching! Gavin Michael Booth has never not been in my Neighbourhood. Together, we challenge each other to JustWalkIn. Proof: I called him when I met JJ Abrams on my honeymoon, and he called me as he watched Britney Spears shaving her head. Listen to us discuss his endless pursuit of filmmaking. the art of shoes, collaborating with his wonderful wife Sarah Booth, celebrating 5 years in L.A. and the importance of "Urinspiration". His ability to produce excellence on a shoestring has taught him how to work and think economically. This episode is brought to you by Vaunnies Mayostard / Mustardayonnaise / Mustmayostardayonnaise!

I've never had a surface conversation with Steve Geyer. And I don't expect I ever will. Plus, he knows how to Bugs Bunny his way into a conversation. Standup comedy is something that has always fascinated me, as it works best when there's no safety net. Steve has shared the stage with the best comedians and musicians, and shares his secrets for leaving a lasting impression. I used to play Steve's material on The True Groove, and met him years later, when he realized that Canadians love him more than anyone else in the world. And for good reason. Steve and I have Big Plans to Ruin Your Dinner... but more on that later. Thank you for sitting in on our conversation. Here are a few things we talked about: Steve Geyer - Comedian, Pastor, Author Shameless: Set Free From The Mask - Steve's Book Dry Bar Comedy Margaret Becker Newsboys Michael W.

Anna Clark gets it. She really gets it. It was an honour to speak with the award-winning author of “The Poisoned City: Flint's Water And The American Urban Tragedy”, as she is so engaging but also because EVERYONE needs to read her book. Anna and I discuss the beautiful historic neighbourhoods of Detroit, her unique take on Disaster Capitalism, Emmett Till, and most poignantly, how we got here. Her body of work gives us insight into the place we find ourselves now. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/PIYN/message

Long time listener, first time caller. Elias and I have never met, but he provided a puzzle piece from my Cornerstone Festival past that I thought was lost forever. And I am grateful.

Where to start: Soup The Chemist - Twitch "Through My Windows -" Book by Soup The Chemist I first heard SFC in 1989, and caught them live in 1991. Changed my game on so many levels. Soup The Chemist was the first Holy Hip Hop (HHH) I ever played for friends, and still spin his music daily. Especially for people who think that HHH started with Cross Movement! We talked history, the future, and everything in between. A true pioneer.

"Every time I audition, I put it in a bubble and I blow it away, because who knows?" There is so much wisdom and balance in my conversation with Actor/Coach/Producer/Encourager Sarah Booth. (None from me, of course.) I am so happy to share her insights with you! As you will hear, Sarah is incredibly focused and driven by her passion to tell stories that need to be told. And you have seen her grace your screens on great stories including Law & Order: SVU, Helix, American Horror Story: Roanoke, The Moodys, Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story, and her own collaborations with husband/director/part-time model Gavin Michael Booth (The Scarehouse, Last Call). Sarah is also a fantastic resource for staying healthy and fit during a lockdown... and beyond! Be sure to follow her on Instagram.

Twin Sister (formerly known as Boba Phett) is Legendary. With funk-driven songs including "Scoundrel", "He's No Good To Me Dead", "Ben" and "We Don't Serve Their Kind Here", it does not take long to see why this band appeals to the 8-year-old me that first saw Star Wars at a Drive-In (and in 2020, the Drive-In is once again the future of cinema)! Matt Zimmerman (aka "The Imperial Stormtrooper") and Todd Fadel (aka "Lord Vader") share their origin story, talk about performing in full costume at the most wretched hive of scum and villainy known as GMA Week, and provide an ideal visual tour of the great city of Portland, Oregon. You can get CD copies of the Twin Sister album through their Facebook page. Buy 10 or more - it's the perfect gift for shut-ins! Here are links to some of the things we discussed: Beer & Hymns: Pandemic Pentecost Event - Sunday May 31 - Everyone Is Welcome!

After talking to Derek Ouellette, I dusted off my treadmill. After I found it under a pile of laundry, of course. Derek has always had that effect on me. After any one of our many conversations, my entrepreneurial spirit is recharged and ready for action! One of my favourite quotes from this session is "the battle always takes place in your head." We discuss making the most of Dad Time during a global quarantine, taking back your fitness and health and helping others to do the same, and always asking yourself, "what's my next venture?". His passion for coaching is clear. Enjoy!

Today, I catch up with and introduce you to my good friend, Tony Shore. In fact, without Tony, there would have been far less Groove in The True Groove, as he introduced me to the two words that changed my life: "Dr. Shore." We talk about how he knows far more about Canada than I ever will, his time in the recording studio with bands including The Lost Dogs and Scaterd Few and how working with a myriad of artists has translated to his work in voiceover and studio production. Tony is also my podcast guru, and we discuss the heart behind The ObviousPopcast, introducing audiences to a whole new musical palette and his upcoming 50th episode! Here are some of our points of irreverence: ObviousPopCast Dr. Shore - Facebook Frontline Records The Tragically Hip Dr. Disc Records Ian Tanner The Lost Dogs Terry Scott Taylor Kiefer Sutherland - Sundown Bruce Cockburn Rush - Beyond The Lighted Stage Amy Grant Yes Michael Roe The Choir Tooth & Nail Records Upload Sports Team Bleu - I Wanna Write You A Symphony The Dowling Poole Joy Wave The Lickerish Quartet Royal Blood The Blue Stones And of course: Sean Penn Dabney Coleman and his talented daughter Quincy Coleman Lp is, in fact, bringing us his best. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/PIYN/message

She did it. She just did it. She wanted to work in Film and TV, so she packed up the truck and she moved to Beverly. Hills, that is. (To be more accurate, Elle-Ay.) It was so good to catch up with our friend, Rachel. We talk about her unique path into "The Business" and the dream that motivated her, finding peace in the midst of a global pandemic and her knack for finding talent and casting actors in exceptional projects including Suits, Masters of Sex and The Bold And The Beautiful! I also get to share my own soap opera history for the first time ever.

Today, we combine #BBTT and #TBT to play my 2009 Stryper interview, not long after the band reunited. This was one of my first live interviews and one of the few times I've spoken with a band that has sold 7 million albums and counting. We spoke in a crowded press junket room full of rude people (hence the background noise) but hopefully, you'll enjoy a conversation with some of the most gracious guys in the industry, about getting the Band Back Together again.

The convergence of my call to Steven Langlois and the recent release of his book "Rock Your Class - Creatively Impactful Teacher-Rockstar Tips From A To Z" is no coincidence.

This week, we welcome the band known as Hokus Pick to the People In Your Neighbourhood! One of Pick's many successes was the ability to tour across Canada repeatedly. What impressed me the first time I saw them was the way they could work a crowd into a complete frenzy, most of whom were also seeing them for the first time. Every time they played, they built relationships that consistently added to their fan base and kept them on the road. We talk about their tours with dc Talk, Guardian, Steve Taylor and more, the joys of border crossing and the lessons they learned being a Canadian band with an international following!

Dumb As Sheep, aka The Crush, discuss the name that made them stand out, being Mike Knott's temporary house band, and finding a producer that brought out the best in them! And at the end of the day, they own their music, a rarity in the music business.

It's not often that I can claim that I've known someone since birth, but James White I have. (His birth, not mine.)

In the 90's, I co-hosted The True Groove on CJAM-FM, which inadvertently led to a career in Entertainment Law and Artist Management.

To kick off BBTT (Band Back Together Thursday), it only made sense to re-group The Motor City Thunder with a Dash of Rock, otherwise known as The Insyderz! My Neighbourhood expanded tenfold when I was asked to join their team and negotiate their first record contract with Tim Taber (The Prayer Chain) and the legendary Gene Eugene (Adam Again, Lost Dogs, The Green Room), which also left them clear to record "Skalleluia" with music and film mogul Steve Taylor. Founding members Todd Miesch, Nate Sjogren and Joe Yerke share stories of hitting the road as teenagers, band pranks that worked (and others not so much), and the lessons they learned while encouraging rude boys and girls across the world.
