"Run With Me" The Ontario-born Bry Webb formed the underground outfit The Constantines out of the ashes of the emo band Shoulder in 1999. With their jagged guitars, tribal drums, snarling bass lines and Webb's ferocious vocals along with his poetic lyrics, The Guelph-based Constantines were one of those rare bands that seemed to arrive fully formed. From 2004 to 2008, the Juno-award nominated Constantines put out four brilliant albums--their eponymous debut, Shine A Light, Tournament Of Hearts and Kensington Heights. And there's not a false note to be found anywhere--the syncopated rhythms, musical intensity and the sheer muscle and heart that powered every song brought to mind everyone from Fugazi to the Minutemen to The Replacements. This is a partial list of their highlights; they toured with The Tragically Hip and The Weakerthans, were signed to Sub Pop, played Lollapallooza, the Vancouver Olympics and a gig at the legendary Massey Hall. With the band on hiatus, Webb formed a band called The Harborcoats and put out three brilliant solo albums--Free Will, Provider and Run With Me. Redolent with raw intimacy, sensitivity, and poetic grace, Webb's solo work rings with as much conviction as his work with The Constantines. He's been nominated for a Genie Award, he contributed a track to This American Life and he sang back-up on Feist's album Metals. I can't say enough about this guy--he's a towering force and whether he's belting out anthems or staying low in the pocket to deliver some of the most stirring acoustic numbers you've ever heard, Bry Webb is a giant talent who is one of my all-time favorites. His body of work means everything to me and his presence on this show is nothing short of humbling. And he's one of the nicest dudes ever. www.brywebb.com (http://www.brywebb.com) www.brywebb.bandcamp.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers IG: @emberspodcast Bluesky: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

One of the problems covering issues of homelessness in the media is that it's hard to find people to be the face of those issues. You see this in just about every news story, “person X is experiencing issue A”; it's a way of personalizing the issue and making it relatable to the audience, and it's one of the reasons why the homelessness crisis is so unrelatable. That's where Greg Dorval entered the picture a few weeks ago. As government representatives and social services agencies got together for a two-day Health and Housing Symposium at the Delta Hotel and Conference Centre, Dorval pitched a tent in the back of the Wellington County Administrative Centre. Dorval had decided to become an ambassador for the people living rough in Guelph, and his point was clear: We're here, and we need assistance greater than what's been received. Dorval also set up shop in advance of a special meeting of city council, one that discussed a new bylaw that regulated the use of public spaces on City-owned property. Developed in 11 days, City of Guelph staff felt like they were trying to walk a fine line between human rights and safety concerns, but people living rough and their advocates saw it as an attack on people who had no place to go. Dorval was one of the delegates at that meeting, but he still has more to say.   On this edition of the pod, we catch up with Dorval as he talks about how he felt sitting through the rest of the meeting, and trying to find some peace of mind when people are saying unkind things about people living rough. He will also talk about his initial uncertain interactions with Wellington County staff and how he turned that into a path forward on the issues. And finally, he will talk about the need for continuity of care, and how we wants this to be the last winter anyone lives in a tent in Guelph. So let's hear more from Greg Dorval on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! Greg Dorval continues to take up residence in St. George's Square to demonstrate for more assistance for people who are unhoused. The City of Guelph's Public Spaces Use Bylaw is on hold for the time being, and there will be a third day of the City and County's housing symposium that will be open to public participating sometime in April. Thanks to Bry Webb and Christopher Currie at CFRU for setting up time in studio to record in studio even as a band warmed up! The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

This is a special two-hour radio episode I put together of the CFRU Mobile Community Radio show - today's show includes a conversation with Kelly McCullough of the urbanartsguelph.ca MADE program and Dan Evans of the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition. I brought these two on the show because all three of our projects explore the value of breaking molds, exploring accessibility through a lens that includes comfort, trust, and empowerment, and demonstrating the power of building community in alternative spaces. The second part of the show is an older interview from the spring of 2016 - Bry Webb interviewed me in my early days of running the pilot-project version of the Mobile Studio, and it's kind of awesome to hear the feelings about it so early in its operation. Hopefully these two conversations will help shed some light on CFRU's Mobile Studio, what it is, what I do, and why it's an important project to support in our community . If you have the means of donating we would love it! You can go to cfru.ca/donations/donate

If you ask Canadian musicians to name a band they especially admire, the name you'll hear the most will be Guelph's Constantines. Bry Webb fronted the Constantines until the band decided to go their separate ways in 2010. After a break from music, Bry returned with some solo records. I hung out with Bry Webb for a bit in Vancouver "friend band" Ladyhawk's tour van. The Constantines were back together for a reunion tour and we chatted about the end of that band, what got him back into music, and the Constantines reunion. Why did the Constantines decide to call it a day? Who inspired Bry's return to music and his solo work? What's it like to write music on a dad's schedule? What embarrassing thing is Bry afraid his son will find out when he googles his dad? What bizarre career did his grandmother want Bry to try? How is the Constantines reunion tour going? You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the radio edit of the show... 1) Constantines, Tournament of Hearts (2005) "Working Full-Time" (background) 2) Bry Webb, Free Will (2014) "Prove Me Wrong" 3) Bry Webb, Provider (2011) "Asa" (partial) 4) Bry Webb, Provider (2011) "Undertaker" 5) Constantines, Kensington Heights (2008) "Time Can Be Overcome" (partial) 6) Bry Webb, Free Will (2014) "AM Blues" ALL songs CANCON

Bry Webb is the frontman for The Constantines, one of my most beloved bands. Stemming from their start in 1999 they traveled and toured and put out 4 full length albums and 2 EPs, skyrocketed to indie fame and broke up in about 2010. Then in 2014/15 they hit the scene again, hard. The Constantines, or Cons, as they're known on the indie scene, played Massey Hall May 27, 2015 - one of the most pivotal moments in my life even tough I wasn't there (oh I wanted to be but you will hear why I didn't make it to that show and you can find that exact show through Live at Massey Hall ) and reignited that love of a truly great Canadian rock band.  Bry Webb joins me after he played Riverfest and while he only hinted at what was to come for The Constantines it lit a spark of hope that I would get to see this band live again, to return to a place and time of stunningly great lyrics, hard hitting drum lines and that fender strat lifted overhead calling the crowd to their feet. And keeping them there all night.  www.theconstantines.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqoL5XegJuw https://theconstantines.wordpress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Constantines/

Loosen your collar Shake off the wires Run like a river Glow like a beacon fire Words written by Bry Webb on the banks of the Speed River in Guelph, Ontario immortalized by his band the Constantines in their song Young Lions. Without realizing it, Webb seems to have summed up the spirit of the running community, specifically the Speed River Track And field club in that city, running like the river its named after, swift and almost unstoppable and glowing in the pride of their hard work. On this weeks show, Guelph also happens to be the binding tie between our two topics...first we talk with current Guelph resident and recently crowned Canadian 10km champion Eric Gillis about his race in Ottawa last weekend, trying to qualifying for Rio and fatherhood.
