Next weekend is the 51st annual edition of the  Mariposa Folk Festival, and I still find I have 3 shows from last year to release.  Last summer, I finally got the chance to interview Suzie Vinnick.  I first became aware of Suzie and her amazing voice in the late 80s when I was attending university in Saskatoon. Suzie was a featured performer on a local radio station, C95′s compilation of local musicians,  Cityworks 88.  Over the years I have seen her perform at numerous festivals, but this is the first time I had a chance to chat with her.  You may also recognize her voice from the “Always Tim Horton’s” jingles.   Enjoy.

Last summer I sat down with Canadian Folk legend Caitlin Hanford, at the 50 anniversary of the Mariposa Folk Festival.  Caitlynn Hanford is  a solo-singer songwriter, she is 1/4 of Quartette with Sylvia Tyson, Gwen Swick and Cindy Church, and she sings in the Marigolds with Gwen Swick and Susie Vinnick.  She is also an elementary school music teacher so our conversation steered towards a discussion on teaching music to children.

Last summer, the third day of the Ottawa Folk Festival, was completely drenched in a 14 hour deluge.  Bob Ledrew put on his publicist hat and kept local media and the audience apprised of the many changes in the schedule throughout the day.  In between that, he took the time to introduce me to a number of musicians to interview for my show.  After the rain had mostly subsided, I sat down under a picnic shelter and had a great chat with Terry Gillespie and Lynne Hanson.

Terry Gillespie is a bluesman and reggae musician originally from Edmonton (like me) who has been a fixture of the Ottawa music scene for 40 years.   His most recent album, Big Money, was released last September.

Lynne Hanson is an Ottawa based songwriter with 3 CDs.   She is the recipient of the 2010 Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award.  Her new CD, Once the Sun Goes Down was also released last fall.

This special episode of For the Sake of the Song is an audio journal of some of the highlights of my weekend at the Ottawa Folk Festival.

The Arts for Peace Festival has been an annual event in Orillia for 26 years.  For some reason I cannot explain, this year was the first time we had attended.  It is a beautiful, intimate music and arts festival on the grounds of the Stephen Leacock Museum in Orillia.  While there, we met and heard a number of  long-time musical friends.

About mid-afternoon a five piece band, Knock Knock Ginger, began to perform a set of smart, funny acoustic based pop music.  I was blown away.

Here’s a brief bio from their website.

Knock Knock Ginger is an indie-pop band from Waterloo, Ontario. Knock Knock Ginger has a guitarist who sings (Milosz Sikora), a keyboardist (Melissa Djurakov), a drummer (Owen Cherry), a bassist (Lisa Rafferty) and a guitarist who plays trumpet (Matt Charters).

The band’s sound has been described as “experimental,” but they can’t quite figure out why. They’d like you to think that they play fun, melodic pop songs with a lyrical slant.

Knock Knock Ginger has been together in various shapes and sizes since the fall of 2004. They recorded their latest EP, Based on a True Story, at the House of Miracles in London and saw it rise to the top ten on campus radio and the CBC radio3 R-30. They’ve played a lot of shows in a lot of different cities from Ontario to the East Coast.

After their set, I had a chance to sit down with Milosz, Melissa, Lisa and Matt to talk music and songwriting with them.

Cheryl Gaudet is a songwriter who hails from Nova Scotia. She has 2 CDs of original music out.  In 1990,she had a dream to host a festival at the wonderful Eaglewood Resort in Pefferlaw,Ontario.  I caught up with her at the 20th annual Eaglewood Folk Festival.  We reminisced about past festivals, talked about songwriting and her move to Mexico.

The 21st annual Eaglewood Folk Festival is fast approaching on August 27-29, 2010.  Check it out for a wonderful festival experience.

She has 2 CDs of original music out.  In 1990,she had a dream to host a festival at the wonderful Eaglewood Resort in Pefferlaw,Ontario.  I caught up with her at the 20th annual Eaglewood Folk Festival.  We reminisced about past festivals, talked about songwriting and her move to Mexico.

Collette Savard is a singer-songwriter with two CDs out, Zen Boyfriend and Most Improved Cheerleader.  She performs as a duo with her producer, multi-instrumentalist, John Zytaruk. They came to my school last week courtesy of Stellula Music as part of their Music in the Schools Week.  At the end of the week, Collette, John and I sat down for a long discussion touching on songwriting, arranging, passing the music on to the younger generation, copyright and more. Enjoy.

The  Creaking Tree String Quartet is a band which pushes the boundaries of string band music, offering a fusion of roots, jazz and classical music performed with playfulness and virtuosity.  Since their inception in 2001, they have travelled extensively, recorded 3 albums, and received 2 Juno nominations.   It was a pleasure to host the Creaking Tree String Quartet at my elementary school in May as part of Stellula Music in the Schools week.  I spoke with Ben and John from the band shortly after their school performance.

I first saw Katherine Wheatley perform at the Eaglewood Folk Festival in about 1993.  She became an instant favorite of mine.  Over the years we have seen her in concert dozens of times, and several years ago I had the pleasure of opening for her and Wendell Ferguson at the Orillia Folk Society.  Katherine Wheatley is a veteran of the Canadian Folk and roots music scene.  She plays in a number of bands.  She is a solid guitar player. Her vocals and melodies are as expansive as the prairies.  In her songs, she weaves wonderful stories of ordinary people that are deeply rooted in Canadian soil.

She released two albums in the 90′s, ‘Straight Line’ and ‘Habits and Heroes’.  Her long awaited new album, Landed is now available on her website.  You can find her music at katherinewheatley.com.

I interviewed Katherine on the grounds of the Canterbury Folk Festival in Ingersoll in the midst of their 10th anniversary celebration.  You can hear some of the festivities going on around us.

It was an absolute thrill having Fred jam along to For the Sake of the Song.  You can find his music at fredpenner.com or at Casablanca Kids,

Michelle Rumball has been a fixture of the Toronto Music scene for almost 20 years.  In the early 90s she was lead singer for folk-rock legends, The Grevious Angels.  She now writes and performs as a solo singer-songwriter, as a member of the new trio Beauty Saloon, and in a number of bands around Toronto.  I caught up to her at the wonderful Rockin’ The Cradle series of concerts promoted by my sister as a venue for people who love music with babies and young children.

I’ve known Don Bray for about 17 years.  We met at an open stage, and I was struck by his insightful lyrics and virtuoso musicianship from the first time I heard him.  He was one of the first people I wanted to interview for my podcast but it took a couple years for us to connect.  It was worth the wait.  I think it’s fitting that he is my guest for episode 100.

We sat down in a quiet room during our songwriting group’s annual winter getaway weekend.  He was accompanied on vocals, Cello, and title reminders by Alyssa Wright.  Don and Alyssa are both solo performers but they have also released their first CD as The Brights: Live, Love, Dream.

This summer I volunteered at the open stage at the Mariposa Folk Festival. There I met Sean Peever,  a musician I had been wanting to hear for many years.  The two of us and Shawn Sage make up a trifecta of folksinging Seans in Ontario. For this episode, Sean and I both played a lovely handmade guitar built by Ron Belanger.  Listen for a twilight zone moment partway through the show when a fish falls from the sky.  I’m not kidding.

Over 20 years ago, I worked with Steve Schellenberg for a winter.  Fast forward to 2000 and I became aware of his first CD through an internet mailing list. He performed a house concert at our home on November 5, 2000. At that time, I also wrote a review of his debut album, Here Goes. Over the past 10 years, I have presented Steve in my home several times and as a headliner at the Mundy’s Bay Folk Society, and he has produced 3 wonderful albums.  Steve has recently moved to the Ottawa area from Winnipeg.  It was a wonderful surprise when he emailed me a few weeks ago to say that he was doing a house concert in the next town over from me.  We had a wonderful conversation in my rec room. Enjoy.

I’ll let my sister explain it from her blog.

I’m just a regular music loving mama who loves being a parent, but misses going to and playing live music, so I decided to organize rock shows for parents that kids can come to and enjoy. These are all age shows that are appropriate for babes in arms, toddlers, children, teenagers, parents, grandparents, etc. etc. The only people who shouldn’t come are those who dislike children (there will be a lot of children in attendance)!

This month’s concert is on February 22 from 1-3 pm at the Tranzac Club (292 Brunswick Avenue) features Bry Webb from the Constantines and a group called Positive Thinking Seminar (at least I think they are a band :) ). The event is pay as you can and families are encouraged to come out. Apparently the Tranzac also serves a yummy Sunday brunch at that time.

I’ll be booting over there right after Podcamp Toronto wraps up and spending some time with my family listening to some great music.

I first became aware of Makeda Taylor through her many uses of social media and youtube videos to build up a fan base for her music. Makeda is a multi-instrumentalist (keyboards and guitars) with a great big warm voice. She bridges musical genres from pop to folk to gospel to hip-hop. You can find her on the web at makedataylor.com and at viralindie.com.

Tannis Slimmon has been an important part of the Ontario folk music community for many years.  I recorded her and her partner  Lewis Melville playing late at night on what turned out to be the last night of the Twisted Pines Festival.  The room where we were talking quickly turned into a jam with many of the festival performers the legendary Garth Hudson on accordion.  It wasn’t until several months later that I was able to sit down with her in her kitchen to record the rest of the interview.  Enjoy

I’ve known Carol Teal and David Joyce for over 10 years. We have shared stages together and enjoyed many musical gatherings together. After over a year of trying, we were able to record a session of For the Sake of the Song at the Mariposa Folk Festival. For this episode, Carol and I both played a lovely handmade guitar built by Ron Belanger. Dave played his custom guitar which as originally built for Smiley Bates.

We also discussed Carol’s work as executive director of ArtsCan Circle, a charity which provides musical instruments and musician mentors to children in remote northern communities on Laborador and in Quebec.

Chartier and Dale Russell are the founders of the School Alliance for Student Songwriters (SASS), a group which facilitates songwriting clubs in schools and arranges songwriting showcases and contests for students in the Durham County region of Ontario and in British Columbia.

I met them in September at the launch party/brainstorming session for the Stellula Songwriting in the Schools initiative here in Simcoe County. Artemis Chartier is a high school teacher and singer-songwriter. Dale Russell was a guitar player with the Guess Who for 17 years in the 80′s and 90s. They are lovely people and wonderful songwriters. Be sure to check out the SASS website to see the wonderful things they are doing with enabling young people to tell their stories through song.

On the afternoon of May 15, the Wild Turkey Outfit performed at my school for 300+ appreciative children and their teachers. They wowed the children with their down-home charm and their tight blugrass and western harmonies.

Afterwards, I was also able to interview them for For the Sake of the Song.

James Gordon has been a fixture of the Canadian folk music scene for over 25 years. He was a founding member of Tamarack, and played with them for 22 years before going solo about 10 years ago. He has written hometown songs and humorous songs for CBC radio, and has written a number of musical plays. I interviewed James at the Mariposa Folk Festival on the deck of his hand-made houseboat, the Eramosa Belle. For this episode, James and I both played a lovely handmade guitar built by Ron Belanger. You can find out how to purchase any of James’ 40 CDs at http://jamesgordon.ca.
