“He’s one of them”
It’s the very special Vancouver Island Music Festival. In Courtney/Comox.
Very special because of the location and because of Doug Cox – the Artistic Director.
Doug is an artist and working musician.
So his knowledge of who’s making great music and who should be paired with who is bang on.
Artists want to play his festival because they know Doug will take care of them and their music.
He’s one of them.
That’s why you’ll find Emmylou Harris headlining.
Robert Randolf and the Family band headlining.
Barenaked Ladies return to Canada. The USA has had their attention for many years and the Ladies wanted to make up for that.
It’s possible there’s a generation that may not know they’re Canadian.
All four guys sat down and talked about how they dealt with losing Stephen Page.
(What that first gig was like at a small venue – Universal Studios Los Angeles)
Their latest album is a session with The Persuaders, one of music’s greatest vocal groups.
We spend 30 minutes talking to and playing the music of BNL.
I had a chance to set up a rustic studio behind the main stage backstage area.
Rustic means
A microphone
A cable
A recorder
Earphones
A glass of water
Bruce Cockburn was the Saturday headliner. He’s about to release perhaps his best album ever.
Bone on Bone is released Sept 15 with a collection of songs and riffs that amaze and delight. Totally cool album.
We’ll run the complete interview closer to the release date but on this show we’ll play the first single States I’m in and, for the first time anywhere 40 years in the wilderness.
Colin Linden produced Bone on Bone. They have been a musical pair for many projects and many years. Colin takes us through a quick tour of Bone on Bone.
Also guesting are:
- Steve Dawson
- Peter North and Tom Coxworth
- Rachelle Van Zanten
- Doug Cox
