We talked the formation of The Steadies and how the band came about, the struggles of going from an established band to starting fresh as well as a jamming with an emerging actor in Vancouver and how that helped the band. Also a hilarious thought from him playing Tantallon (with Wide Mouth Mason).

EX39 - Wide Mouth Mason - not your typical, run of the mill 12-bar blues band - two songs - Midnight Rain and Companion - Lay Me Down When one thinks of the epitome of a ‘blues band', the first thing that comes to mind is not a couple of Canadian kids coming of age in the 1980s. This is not your typical, run of the mill 12-bar blues about lost lovers, big-legged women, whiskey, church and sinnin'. This is a new voice and a new vehicle for the blues. This is Wide Mouth Mason. Wide Mouth Mason formed in 1995 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and released their debut album, The Nazarene, in 1996, drawing immediate interest and attention from the Canadian music industry. It was re-recorded songs from that debut, as well as some new songs on their 1997 self-titled sophomore recording that cemented a major label record deal, Gold status in Canada, a JUNO nomination for Best New Group, and launched the career of one of the country's most popular blues-based rock bands. And the hits kept coming… In the years to follow, Wide Mouth Mason had another Gold record with 1999's Where I Started, and another JUNO nomination for Best Rock Album for their Y2K release Stew, two invitations to perform at the esteemed Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland as well as extensive tours with AC/DC, ZZ Top and The Rolling Stones. Not too shabby for a couple of Canadian kids on the Prairies. Fast forward to 2019, where we find Wide Mouth Mason as a duo with original members Shaun Verreault on vocals, guitars, and Safwan Javed on percussions and vocals. Their 8th release, I Wanna Go With You, was released on indie label We Are Busy Bodies on October 25, 2019. It is Wide Mouth Mason reinvented and unapologetically blues. Two Songs for you today Wide Mouth Mason - Midnight Rain Wide Mouth Mason - Companion (Lay Me Down) For more on the band - https://widemouthmason.com/ Want to know more about our podcast? https://truemediasolutions.ca/add-to-my-playlist-1
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays All From 1974 to 1979 I was lucky enough to host Great Canadian Goldrush on CBC Radio National. Every Christmas we had a Christmas Jam – in the studio. Produced by Susan Englebert. (with assistance from Claire Lawrence) Except for the mixed drinks, it was nothing fancy but it was an hour of heart-felt stories and songs. The artists included Roy Forbes and Shari Ulrich. When Goldrush left the air Christmas Jam disappeared UNTIL Roundhouse Radio in Vancouver came on air and again I had a studio to capture this magic. I talked to Shari, Roy, and Barney Bentall and they all signed on for a reconnect. We got 3 years of Christmas in the Round recorded and then Roundhouse went dark. Keeping the tradition alive, this year we present Year 3 of Christmas in the Round (2017) The Lineup includes Jim Byrnes Shari Ulrich Barney Bentall Bill Henderson (Chilliwack) Craig Northey (Odds and Steven Page Trio) On percussion Geoff Hicks (Colin James, Barney, Cuddy, Byrnes, Northey etc) Rob Becker (guitar/vocals) Kirby Barber (guitar/vocals) Roy Forbes was unavailable in Year 3 BUT I found him hiding in Year One He brings with him two songs and the slide guitar of Shaun Verreault from Wide Mouth Mason. And yes..he does tell the story and rolls out his Christmas Classic Mince Meat Tart
