Jimmy will be so proud! His Mom and Dad are guesting on the Mulligan Stew Podcast. Jimmy is the 10-year-old son of Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet of Whitehorse. Jimmy likes the music his Mom and Dad make so much that he's sitting in on drums during house rehearsals. Luke and Melissa have just released their 8th album I'm not crying You're crying. What started as a possible lockdown country covers project quickly turned into writing their own songs, as though they were writing and singing in the 70s. In Nashville. What's best about this album is they sound like they've been writing and singing country all their musical life. Which is what they did. When they met and started Whitehorse it was as a country band. So, they've come full circle. Through the blues and back into country. This podcast tells the tales of those years and their relationship. It's a winner and so are Jimmy's parental unit. www.whitehorsemusic.ca
CKUA's Hidden Track Podcast returns for Season 4! Kicking things off in 2023 is (currently) Manitoba-based folk rock duo Whitehorse! Composed of husband-and-wife duo Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland, Whitehorse's sound spans from folk/americana to groove-driven pop rock. Doucet and McClelland have always been talented musicians, and both had successful solo careers before joining forces as Whitehorse. Released on January 13, 2023, the duo's eighth studio album, "I'm Not Crying, You're Crying", marks a tonal shift to the melancholic sounds of hurtin' classic country. Spurred on by feelings of loneliness and isolation due to the pandemic, I'm Not Crying, You're Crying has been described as a "breakup album with the world." Songs like If The Loneliness Don't Kill Me and 6 Feet Away serve as a cry for human connection, written during a time when those connections were increasingly hard to find. In our first episode of Hidden Track Season 4, "Whitehorse | Breaking Up With Society", Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland join CKUA's Grant Stovel from their Manitoba home to discuss the inspirations behind their latest album, how it feels to be touring again, the duo's musical origins (including a story of 14-year-old Luke's blues band) and so much more!
This week, we bring you our first episode hosted by Manus Hopkins, one of Canadian Musician's editors, who has taken up the mantle of podcast host from Mike Raine.

Today's interview is with Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet, the husband-and-wife duo that forms Hamilton folk-rock band Whitehorse. Whitehorse's new album, I'm Not Crying, You're Crying, is out January 13. Here, Doucet and McClelland take us through the process of making new music together in lockdown, and share stories from throughout the band's career about how they became the group they are today. They even set the record straight about how they really chose their name.

Last Saturday I had Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet – Whitehorse – on Mulligan Stew CKUA We shook the place up “real good” but this is the complete interview. Room for both Melissa and Luke to expand on the “Happy Hour Live” experience from their living room during the lockdown. They walk and talk us through their new album Strike Me Down and then we get really specific about “what is Rock and Roll now”? What is the new album in January? Are you playing Massey Hall? Tour dates in 2022? Enjoy!!
"If you want to make something that's like nothing you've made before, then you have to shake yourself up, go beyond whats comfortable and known and let yourself feel disoriented, overwhelmed, even intimidated. Those moments, when you lose your bearings or where you're forced to sink or swim, and the moments when you have an opportunity to rise to the occasion, to surprise yourself, to do the things you didn't know you could do. That's what making this album was for me, I'm so proud of the process, and I'm so proud of the result.” - Peter Katz This week I'm really excited to bring you an interview that I did with my friend and singer-songwriter Peter Katz! Over the past decade, Peter's seen his albums debut at number one on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts. He has shared the stage and studio with the likes of Academy Award winner Glen Hansard, Juno Award winners, The Good Lovelies, Polaris Prize nominated Melissa McClelland, and the legendary Garth Hudson from the Band. He has toured all over the world playing regularly to capacity crowds and has managed to build an impressive fan base of loyal listeners. The London Free Press describe one of his concerts as "try listening without getting goosebumps." In this conversation, we talk about creativity, learning, pushing through, even though you may not necessarily feel like it. I think there are some tremendous insights here that can benefit everybody. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dr-greg-wells/support
Jen is away this week, so Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland — otherwise known as musical duo Whitehorse — were kind enough to fill in for her. They are currently on tour in support of their new record, Panther in the Dollhouse, and Erin caught up with them at the Burt before their Winnipeg show this week to talk about the record(and they perform a song from it!) and the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault allegations currently rocking the entertainment world.
Whitehorse is made up of husband and wife duo Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet. Both are strong artists in their own right but together they really are better than the individual parts. Check them out as they perform two songs from their debut CD and a cover of Bruce Springsteen's I'm on Fire.
There’s some great music in and around Winnipeg these days, including the Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans show in Falcon Lake. We’re off to that tonight, so the live portion of the show is only an hour long. It features new and notable tunes, and music from some of the many talented musicians who have put on shows recently, or will do so this week. Hour two is a pre-recorded hour of "forgotten gems," where we dig back into the vault to pull out favourites that we haven’t heard in a while, from artists that we don’t hear often enough. Sadly, the technology let us down, so the second hour did not air live. It lives on in podcast form, and we’ll try to slip it on air some time soon.

Heart of the Night Show - Indie Rock, Pop, Folk and Variety Music
This encore episode of the Heart of the Night Show reaches back to August of 2006 to run the gamut with an all out bit of madness from refrag (New Zealand) to a gentle acoustic tune from Misanthropy (UK). In between, tunes from a great gaggle of Canadian musicians, including Melissa McClelland, LoadPuller, Tim Tibbitts, Carly and Mark, and Daniel Iorio. The show ends with Iowa's Circle of Friends and show hostess, jill no jack, taking a turn as vocalist to poke a bit of fun at everyone's favorite "Pop Princess", Britney Spears. (Yeah...that's right - everyone is taking a turn at that these days, eh? It's starting to not even be fun anymore.) One click subscription in iTunes! One Click Subscription!
