Folks. Hello. It's been quiet on the dusty Graventown podcast front. Tumbleweeds have been rustling in studio 26K. It's been a busy summer and the fall isn't slowing down anytime soon - but in lieu of that schedule sap-stuck flow from the podcast tree (am I mixing too many metaphors here? Probably) - I thought I'd throw up (figuratively, not literally) a few carcast episodes from the summer. After all - my car really is my journalpod while I'm on the road (and I was literally Kerouac this summer - ok, I'll stop) so I did a lot of thinking and talking. Please enjoy this pre montreal mindpainter as I was mid-tour with Dennis Ellsworth and about to play some tunes with my pal Gideloa Rock N Rolla (Gideon Yellin) at the cool cozy haunt that Martha Wainwright created called Ursa. Enjoy!Catch me in a town near you by visting my website to see where I'm playing. If people can hate for no reason, I can love for no reason - and I love you. Thanks for stopping by Graventown. Yer always welcome here. As a full time independent artist, you can support me by joining my SUPER RAD subscription service at https://ko-fi.com/gravencanada

Friends. Welcome back to Graventown yet again. I don't always pod, when I do, I pod with the gods. Here's another one for your content wood-chipper. Drive it into your ears to lessen your fears. Today's guest is one of the most prolific songmakers I've ever met and I was lucky enough to have a nice intimate chat with him as he drove around the countryside shoreline in his lovely home province of Prince Edward Island. Dennis Ellsworth is a songwriter, performer, sideman, and record producer from Charlottetown, PE. His songwriting career started in high school, filling notebooks with lyrics and poems. He grew up on the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Ray Charles, Kris Kristofferson, Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. His tastes evolved in grade 6 and he began collecting cassettes. His personal music collection is stylistically expansive. Some might call his love for music an addiction, but whatever. Over the years he has collaborated with Josh Finlayson and Andy Maize from Skydiggers, Gord Downie from The Tragically Hip, Joel Plaskett, Donovan Woods, Rose Cousins, John Smith, and David Barbe (producer of Drive-by Truckers and bass player for 90's alt rock band Sugar.) In 2015 Dennis signed a publishing deal with Cymba Music Publishing in Toronto and has since written songs in a wide variety of styles His music has appeared in television shows for CBC, Netflix, HBO and was featured in the award-winning film, The New Romantic. Ellsworth has released 2 full length albums with his previous group, Haunted Hearts, an album as a duo with Kinley Dowling, two EP's and 10 full length solo albums, including his most recent triple album project called Bound by Love.Dennis is releasing a single on every Bandcamp Friday this year, so be sure to follow along in support on his bandcamp page and find him on instagram or on his website.

Album of the Week -- Roadside Graves (That’s Why We’re Running Away) Roadside Graves is a formerly Brooklyn-based band that’s now in New Jersey, this album is about learning how to walk away from situations. I had a really hard time picking two songs to feature: Roadside Graves are that rare combination of sonically experimental with the lyrics to back up their chops. I love the forlorn melange of punk, roots, and indie rock.

Mike Campbell: "My guest today has quietly been making great music for over 20 years, the last 10 or so in his native Prince Edward Island. He may not be on everyone’s radar but he’s certainly been on HUFF’s, having performed a number of times. Dennis Ellsworth is a treasure." https://www.dennisellsworth.com/ The Halifax Urban Folk Festival (HUFF) is a celebration of songs, the people who write and sing them, and the stories surrounding their creation. It takes place annually in Halifax, Nova Scotia – a city seeping with songwriting talent – during the last week of August, through Labour Day weekend.

Dennis Ellsworth is a prolific songwriter. Lately he’s gotten into rhythm of writing, recording and releasing an album a year. In between records, he travels around the planet singing songs characterized by a kind of dark optimism that’s informed by early influences such as Roy Orbison, Neil Diamond and Kris Kristofferson. Ellsworth can’t pinpoint what first prompted him to pursue music, but recalls singing ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ in front of the mirror while brushing his teeth as a child. Since making the leap from the bathroom to the barroom, Ellsworth has toured Canada extensively, made inroads into the US and built a substantial following in the UK. In all, he’s released six records – all recorded live in a house or studio; two with his side project, Haunted Hearts, as well as Chesterfield Dweller of the Year (2009), the Strange Boat EP (2011), Dusk Dreams (2012) and his latest, Hazy Sunshine, in 2013 as a solo artist. Although he’s refined his sound and approach to writing over the years, some things remain constant. One is an acoustic guitar he rescued from 1970’s era cottage in the Catskills; a guitar on which he’s written almost every song he’s put down on tape and believes has a lot to do with his gift for songwriting. Another is the emphasis he places on collaboration with the musicians he brings together for each album and the importance of allowing their unique voices as players to influence his songs. Produced by Skydiggers guitarist, Josh Finlayson, and recorded over five days and wine filled nights at The Bathhouse, near Kingston, Ontario, Hazy Sunshine is a perfect example of how positively special that collaboration can be. “When I set out to make this album I wanted to isolate myself in the winter in rural Canada, and for that to contribute to the sound of the record, but we went in a different direction,” he says. Although Hazy Sunshine represents a departure from Ellsworth’s past records – Dusk Dreams in particular – never before has the Charlottetown-based singer/songwriter released an album as heavily informed by his belief that, no matter how rough things get, if you lose hope you lose the ability to effect positive change. The result is a seamless blend of modern East Coast folk and rock and roll with shades of classic Americana, roots and country haunting the edges; a set of songs that anyone who’s questioned their place in the world will find their own experiences reflected in. While Hazy Sunshine dwells heavily on the necessity of remaining positive, it’s fuelled by the kind of dark optimism that’s always driven Ellsworth’s songwriting. "I'm hopeful but I'm not a firm believer,” he says, bluntly. There have been times that music has saved him, and times that it’s let him down, but aside from his beautiful and loving wife and their cat Winsloe, music has always been his truest friend and companion. If you need him for anything, just get in touch. If you can’t reach him, he’s probably out for a stroll with his wife, or a friend. Either that or he’s on the road and maybe playing in your town tonight and, if so, you should be at his show.

Had the chance to catch up with Dennis Ellsworth & Kinley Dowling just before they took off for a string of dates in the UK. They talked about their new collabo-album called "Everyone Needs To Chill Out" and you're gonna hear some of these songs for the first time, right here on East of the Dial.

NEW SONG ALERT (EXCLUSIVE FIRST PLAY): "PANORAMA"…

DENNIS ELLSWORTH! WHAT!?!?!?!

November has seemingly been Canadian country month for CM Radio, and this week's show is no different. The prolific Dean Brody is set to hit the road in the new year in support of his latest full length, "Crop Circles," on the Crop Circles & Tractor Beams tour with Cassadee Pope. Mike will speak with him about this latest release and the work that went into it. Before that, though, we'll speak wtih PEI singer/songwriter Dennis Ellsworth about his latest, Hazy Sunshine, recorded at The Hip's Bathhouse studio with Josh Finlayson of Skydiggers at the helm and an impressive group of musicians.
