Old Man Luedecke is one of Canada's most beloved folk musicians. The two-time Juno winner became known for playing the banjo, but on his latest album, “She Told Me Where to Go,” he puts the banjo away. Old Man Luedecke talks to Tom about his decision to trade the five-string for the six-string, how it changed his approach to making music, and what working on a scallop boat during the pandemic taught him about his life choices.

Newfoundland-based musicians Catherine Allan and Andrew James O'Brien are the couple behind Juno-nominated band Fortunate Ones. The band's latest album, That Was You and Me, released early in June of 2022. Fortunate Ones recently embarked on a tour alongside fellow East Coast artists, The Once and Old Man Luedecke. That tour, dubbed the Anchors Up! Tour finds the band performing shows in Alberta in late November 2022.   The duo behind this incredible folk outlet took time out of their busy tour schedule to chat with Hidden Track host Grant Stovel for a look at their personal and artistic journeys thus far. Andrew and Catherine tell us about how the pandemic caused them to look deep within themselves (and each other) in a whole new way creatively, how the songs on this new record took shape during a secluded summer in a seaside clapboard house, the great Newfoundland tradition of songcraft, staying grounded by running marathons and doing yoga, and the excitement of touring in a bus for the first time ever.

"Get set for another round of songs that are just becoming or are already classified as bona fide earworms here at grassroots radio on this episode, said WNCW Program Director Joe Kendrick. "Our feature DJ For A Day takes a bicycle trip to a little country store with the band Scythian, for the tale of how they were given a 19th century fiddle on the spot. Dan Fedoryka of Scythian tells a great story about how his brother Alex got this instrument, so stick around for that as well as our Segue Of the Show, which goes for a nautical theme with a new tune from Old Man Luedecke paired with an out of print record from 1992. We have Buddy & Julie Miller, Rodrigo Y Gabriela and a whole lot in between here on this edition of WNCW’s new music podcast On The Way Up."

Grammy Award-winning bluegrass songwriter and performer Tim O’Brien joins our Tim O’Brien to talk about his own musical journey and about America’s bluegrass musical heritage. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Bluegrass_II_auphonic.mp3   According to the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation, America’s bluegrass music can trace its roots to the 1600s when people emigrated to America from Ireland, Scotland, and England brought. The Foundation says they brought with them the basic styles of music that give us the bluegrass music we know today. The music took hold in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia, which at the time included what we now know as West Virginia. Bluegrass music has always about stories that reflected the people from these regions. At first it was known simply as country or mountain music. Ironically, it would be the dawn of audio technology that would give bluegrass a new life. In the early 1900s, the invention of the phonograph and then later the dawn of radio introduced bluegrass music to the masses. In the 1920 and ‘30s the Monroe Brothers – Charlie and Bill – made a name for the music and themselves. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, it was Bill Monroe who coined the term “bluegrass” when he called his band Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. Bill was from the bluegrass state of Kentucky. They thought of this as traditional country music, using a sound that relied on acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies. Another key figure in the development of bluegrass music was Earl Scruggs. Earl joined Monroe’s band in the mid-1940s as a banjo player. His sound gave bluegrass what we now think of as that signature bluegrass sound. Others would make their own imprint on bluegrass, like Lester Flatt from Tennessee, Chubby Wise from Florida, and other instruments would be added to add richness to the bluegrass sound. One includes the resophonic guitar, better known as the dobro. Bluegrass music has been the soundtrack for motion pictures, television shows and has been made popular on radio stations from coast to coast for generations and millions of Americans.

Tim first toured nationally in the 1980’s with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize. Kathy Mattea scored a country hit with his song Walk The Way The Wind Blows in 1986, and soon more artists like Nickel Creek and Garth Brooks covered his songs. Over the years, Tim has released 15 solo CD’s, as well as collaborations with his sister Mollie O’Brien, songwriter Darrell Scott, and noted old time musician Dirk Powell. He’s performed or recorded with Steve Earle, Mark Knopfler, Bill Frisell, and Steve Martin, and produced records for Yonder Mountain Stringband, David Bromberg, and Canada’s Old Man Luedecke. O’Brien’s solo shows feature his solid guitar, fiddle, and banjo, along with his engaging vocals and harmony from Jan Fabricius. Expect a range of original compositions and traditional arrangements from his many discs, mixed with stories and Tim’s self-deprecating

Toronto songwriter Jay Pollock is a man of balance. He loves playing and performing music, but it is far from the only important thing in his life. In a refreshing turn from a lot of our conversations, Jay took issue with the myth that one has to quit their job in order to be a true artist and talked a lot about how his mindset for songwriting has changed since he’s become more financially solvent.

Toronto singer-songwriter Erika Werry can pump you up with an anthemic rock hit or induce goosebumps with a heartfelt folk song. She has made a name for herself by consistently writing great songs and putting on an honest and energetic live show with her band Erika Werry & The Alphabet. Her introduction to music came through classical and modern dance and she’s been releasing records for more than a decade. In one of the more process-focused episodes to date, Derek and Travis sat down with her to talk about allowing yourself to evolve as a songwriter and to learn as you go.

Stage fright nearly grounded Kira May’s music career before it even got underway. Now her stage presence is a big part of her appeal. Kira sat down with Derek and Travis to talk about overcoming her fears, discovering how to use her voice as her instrument, and the inherent risks in live performing with intricate looping.

For a man who finds himself a member of one of the most established and successful rock bands in Canada, Big Sugar’s Kelly “Mr. Chill” Hoppe is eminently humble. Not only is he one of the country’s best harmonica players, he’s got some real songwriting chops and is steeped in the country and gospel tradition. The Windsor native sat down with Travis for a look back on his career which didn’t get underway until well into his 20s and didn’t become his full-time gig until well into his 30s.

With Delta Will’s new record Weathering, hot off the press, Derek and Travis sat down with its front man Charles Tilden in the living room of the Toronto home he shares with future guest Kira May. In one of the podcast’s more emotional conversations, Charles opens up about the tragedy that struck his former band Parks and Rec, about how that event shaped his musical career, and about the sonic evolution of Delta Will.

Corinna Rose started in folk music as part of a unique ensemble band in an all-girls private school, but didn’t start making a true go of it until she was in her early twenties. She has since quit her job and is a rare full-time musician. She sat down with Derek and special guest co-host Rachael Cardiello to talk about the role of academia in songwriting, how Corinna came about her distinctive songwriting style, and the relationship between performance and mental health.

Brendt Thomas Diabo is both an established actor and an established singer-songwriter steeped in the country and blues tradition. By way of the Kahnawake Reservation on Montréal’s south shore, Diabo now resides in Toronto where Derek and Travis caught with him to talk about, among other things, the songwriting process, what makes a good character-driven song, and his uncanny ability to write anywhere.

Max Marshall has undergone no small transition over the last few years. From trying to make a go of songwriting in Toronto, to studying folklore at Memorial University in Newfoundland, to becoming a father and moving back to the Windsor area, he’s grown as a person and a musician. Derek sat down with Max in his quaint Essex County home after a meal of steak and lobster to discuss authenticity in songwriting, pursuing art while raising a family, and folk music’s lack of place in contemporary culture.

The first time we sat down with Ron to record an interview over a year ago, we caught him between construction shifts, exhausted, and frustrated with balancing those things and a music career all at once. The interview never aired and we promised we’d come back to it when the time was right. That time is now as Travis sat down with the consummate career songwriter for a do-over in his Windsor apartment. Ron opened up about the precariousness of working construction and trying to maintain a music career, transitioning back to music full-time and getting to work on his third full-length album with producer Andy Magoffin.

Chances are, you’ve never heard of Kevin Head, but there are few songwriters in Canada who’ve accomplished what “The Original Salt Cod Cowboy” has. The Nova Scotia native been writing and recording music for nearly forty years and has performed alongside some of the best musicians in the country. Derek sat down with Kevin at The Tranzac Club in Toronto to talk about the challenges of making music and art your full-time job, the many hats songwriters must wear to do this, and how playing live music has changed over the years. After the interview, we preview next week’s episode with Ron Leary by playing clips of an interview we did with him last year that we never aired.

Award-winning songwriter Graydon James finally made it to the IQMJ studio after a long courtship. The front-man and songwriter for The Young Novelists talked to Travis and Derek about the unlikely circumstance of being a full-time musician who owns his own home, spending 12 years as a mail carrier, and playing in a band with his wife Laura Spink. In this episode, Graydon also provides some insight into the challenges of collaborative songwriting, touring in Canada, and maintaining a home and family while pursuing a career in music.

David Bowie’s impact on songwriting and performance is nearly unparalleled. His death, although tragic, has allowed us to review his life’s work and soak in his legacy. Derek and Travis sit down with Will Whitwham, Skye Wallace, and Shawn William Clarke for a discussion about Bowie’s significance to them as songwriters, the presence of death in art and the importance of leaving a legacy.

Welcome to Season Two! Derek and Travis return from their break and start 2016 off with a guestless episode. Just as they did for the very first episode, our hosts sit down with one another and get meta by discussing the podcast itself and how it has changed them as songwriters and where they think it’s headed in the coming year.

The first time Derek and Travis ever toured together they were opening up for Megan Hamilton. Now based in Kingston with her young family and supporting a new record with parent-friendly matinee shows across Ontario, our hosts caught up with her at Phog Lounge in Windsor. Recorded on location in the same place they met all those years ago, this episode features Megan discussing the challengers of balancing a family and an independent music career, the process of putting together a cohesive album, and the way priorities shift as you get older.

The youngest of six, Andrew MacLeod is one of only two among his siblings born in his late father Alistair’s homeland of Cape Breton. Inviting Travis and Derek to the West Windsor family home still inhabited by his mother, Andrew spoke to them of the angst of being the youngest, the ties he feels to Cape Breton and Nova Scotia, and the pressures of playing in a band when you should probably have grown up by now. As the frontman for Years of Ernest, sporting a brand new full-length record, Andrew shares some wisdom about the value of working with people you trust and putting your heart into every show.

All of David Newberry’s friends are folk musicians, but he can’t stand folk music. Still, fans and music critics have aligned him with the Canadian folk scene, perhaps because of his voice and lyric-driven, often political songs. David visited Travis and Derek to talk about his new record Replacement Things (which has barely an acoustic instrument in sight), the west coast folk scene, the city of Toronto, workplace injuries, and why it’s easier to write music for kids.

Old Man Luedecke describes himself as a "songwriting, banjo playing, guitaring, dad." Fatherhood is the central theme of his album, 'Domestic Eccentric' - a collection of songs, recorded with the wonderful Tim O'Brien in a cabin he built on his property in Nova Scotia. When Luedecke and Joel E. Hunt stopped by the studios of Beehive Productions in Saranac Lake, New York, he told Folk Alley that 'Domestic Eccentric' was created in response to his past songs about not having children. Now, with three little ones, he has a new point of view - including being on the road and coming home again.

"You can't fake a work of heart," Old Man Luedecke sings in "The Girl in the Pearl Earring," the second song on his 2015 release, 'Domestic Eccentric,' and the assured confidence of that line, the assertion of a straightforward truth, is the guiding principle behind the entire album. Old Man Luedecke is the real thing, a modern-day people's poet and traveling bard and balladeer. He's played around the world to a loving and increasing fan base, and won two Juno awards in the process. He collaborated on 'Domestic Eccentric' with Tim O'Brien - the two last worked together on Luedecke's 2012 release, 'Tender is the Night,' which was nominated for a Juno and won Album of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards.When Luedecke and Joel E.

Bryce Jardine has been pursuing a career in music since playing in a high school rock band in London Ontario. Now living in Toronto and fresh from quitting his job, Bryce visited Travis and Derek at their Bloor St. studio to talk about making records, overcoming nerves, touring in the Canadian winter and the good, the bad and the ugly of working with venues as an independent touring musician.

James Oltean-Lepp grew up in Harrow, the same diminutive town as Derek. His band, James OL & The Villains have been at the centre of a revitalized music scene in Windsor and are the purveyors of what Derek calls “Colch-wave,” a cobbling together of various genres into a unique musical blend emblematic of the sound James has crafted over many years. We sat down with James on a humid evening in Windsor to talk about his process as a writer, his willingness to play with genre, and connecting with people through his music.

Bowen Island native Sarah Jane Scouten proves that Canadian folk music isn't lame. Via Vancouver and Wales, Sarah ended up meeting Derek and Travis while living in Montreal and joined our hosts in Toronto before embarking on her second tour of the UK.

Since forming in Toronto in July 2009, The Wilderness of Manitoba has worn many hats, with the only throughline being the presence of principal songwriter Will Whitwham. Fresh from playing a show together at the Harrow Legion, Will joined Travis and Derek in the latter's family home to talk about alternative music venues, the post-Nirvana wasteland of the late 90s, quitting your job, and the evolving nature of one's own songwriting and voice.

Born in London Ontario, Barzin spent his childhood in Iran and has since lived in Guelph and Ann Arbor, but since moving to downtown Toronto over a decade ago he hasn’t been able to fully escape the city’s gravitational pull. Travis and Derek sat down with Barzin in his writing studio to talk about how all these locales shaped his songwriting, how his lyrics are always the centerpiece of his art, and how he feels like he spent his entire career trying to make his latest record, leaving him at a loss as to what to do next.

Montana-native Rachael Cardiello honed her songwriting chops in the "velvet rut" of Victoria BC, surrounded by some of Canada's finest songwriters. She sat down with Derek & Travis for what turned out to be a very emotional interview, opening up about depression, spending time in a mental hospital, and writing songs as a way of coping, and how from such turmoil she has come to front the soulful and joyous rock band Warm Electric Winter in Toronto and engage in a plethora of side-projects including the James Burrows Band and the Dead Dads Club.

Taylor Ashton comes from the idyllic community of Mayne Island, BC, where he met the other four-fifths of his band Fish & Bird. Just before taking their fourth album to England, Taylor made time to sit down with Travis and Derek for a two-part interview. In this, the second part of the interview, he tells us about about being a self-taught musician, how Fish & Bird became the collaborate five-piece it is today, the challenge of writing songs for multiple projects, and the problems with using the term "folk music" to describe the band, or to describe anybody's music.

Today a chat with one of the greats, and one we’re excited to be welcoming back to town this week, Mary Gauthier. She’s headed in to reunite with her frequent backing band, Scott Nolan & Joanna Miller, as well as working on a book and awaiting the release of a new album. Lots to talk about. And following up on last week’s chat with Jaxon Haldane about The Willie P Bennett Legacy Project, we present our annual tribute to the late, great Willie P Bennett, who left this world on Feb. 15, 2008. I didn’t even know the guy, but I miss him terribly. There’s never a bad time to listen to a lot of his brilliant songs, but the anniversary of his death reminds me that I’ll do my best to never let the music be forgotten, and thankfully, folks like Jaxon are taking the cause to a whole new level.

It's actually magic, taking washed but clumped fiber, putting it through the drum carder and getting fluffy batts ready to spin.  It's a spinning project I only do now and then, after accumulating those piles of fleeces and other fibers ready to blend.  Then I spend several months, in an hour here and there, creating the batts.  After that, the fun begins, as I get to spin them and see what those blends will look like in yarn. In today's podcast, I talk about my recent drumcarding projects, as well as some information for those spinners that may want to buy a carder, or have one that they still haven't worked up the nerve to use. I will be putting pictures of the fiber, before and after on my blog.  Music in the podcast is from Music Alley  and includes Proof of Love by Old Man Luedecke,  also February by The Distants. The Spinners Journal, a book I wrote to help you to document your carding or any spinning project is available to buy at this site.

Featuring a conversation with Old Man Luedecke, and an in-studio visit and live performances from the wonderful Greg Macpherson. We also previewed the upcoming Matthew Barber show and slipped in some great new music from the likes of Patty Griffin, Allison Moorer, and more!

Not much notable this week other than the long-awaited return of the great David Francey. That's always worth celebrating in song, so we sprinkled him throughout the show. The rest of the show was made up of new, interesting, and just plain wonderful music.
