EP 302 | Bahamas in Nashville: Bootcut Interview with Afie Jurvanen

hello

Afie Jurvanen – more famously known as Bahamas!

A fascinating artist and human. Never satisfied to remain in the same groove or attitude. What’s constant is his ability to create memorable songs,  surrounded by sonic texture that is his territory alone.  Refreshingly honest!

You know it’s him as soon as you hear the song.

He’ll be doing summer festivals and supporting his album Bootcut –  a heavily inspired classic Country record which has recently seen his catalogue surpass a billion streams. He was awarded a pile of gold/platinum/double platinum singles while attending the JUNOs this year. . Rolling Stone covered Bootcut saying that a Canadian indie rock kid made one of Nashville’s most Country records of the yearhttps://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bahamas-bootcut-country-music-album-nashville-1234826097/

Oh..and he was featured on The Bachelor and released an album on Valentine’s day called Repackaged Love Songs.

And best of all,  he’s guesting on Mulligan Stew Saturday 4 Pacific / 5 Mtn  at CKUA RADIO  ckua.com

EP 301 | Adrian Sutherland returns with Precious Diamonds (And hidden guest)

hello

Adrian is a Traditional Knowledge Keeper for the James Bay Cree of 
Attawapiskat First Nation.
It may explain why he is such a fine songwriter and storyteller. As a singer, he’s been described by producer Colin Linden as “open” sonically and spiritually.
Adrian and Colin worked together on his first album When the Magic Hits. Although “together” doesn’t quite describe their situation. Colin was in his home studio in Nashville and Adrian was in the frozen Far North in James Bay working in an old shipping container that he had turned into a studio.
For Precious Diamonds, Adrian went south to Colin’s studio in Nashville and the resulting album is now out,  many months later.
Adrian takes us through a number of songs he wrote and sung. His battle finding his place in the music world. His pride in recording two songs in his native Mushkegowuk Cree.
As a surprise to Adrian, I had Colin Linden in the Zoom waiting room and he popped out at just the right time to congratulate his friend.
Adrian brought many stories and spoke his truth.

Mulligan Stew March 30th 2024-Special Guest Nardwuar The Human Serviette

hello

Many years ago when I was hosting a CityTV  Show called Movie Television I arranged a set visit to a Snoop Dog movie being shot in Vancouver.
Nardwuar heard about it and asked – no insisted he come with me to interview Snoop.
Not an easy trick to pull when unit publicists are on their guard to make sure stars are safe and not hassled while they’re working.
I got Nard in and “the rest is history”
Snoop loved him and they did some wild interviews together. Snoop went on to be a megastar and Nardwuar became a world-famous YouTube sensation.
Millions now follow his antics.
Nardwuar was the first guest on the Mulligan Stew Podcast in 2018. Now that we’ve hit #300 this weekend we invited him back to get caught up.
The Stew interview will be quick and at pace. His pace.
The Mulligan Stew Podcast will be the whole thing. The whole freakin’ verbal battle.
We will also celebrate the birthdays of
Eric Clapton
Bill Withers
Tracey Chapman
Norah Jones

EP 299 | The Juno Couch Recap (Edmonton 2023)

hello

 

Juno Couch:  a luxurious seating area where artists may gather during Juno Weekend and exchange opinions, questions and minor insults. All for the entertainment of music fans everywhere. Music can also be played from the stage conveniently located right next to the Couches.

Just for the record, the Juno Couch only happens when the awards are hosted in Alberta. It’s been co-hosted by Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo – except for this year.

Year one was in the bar lobby of the Hotel MacDonald, Year two was in a restaurant at the base of the Calgary Tower and Year Three was on the streets of Calgary.

Just over a week ago, Edmonton hosted the Junos Awards. Right across the street from the Juno home base was CKUA Radio.

A perfect home for the Juno Couch because we already had two couches and a performance area.

Jim Cuddy was playing Juno Cup hockey to raise funds for Music Counts—Canada’s music education charity.

Jim made a guest appearance from the rink via The Net.

My co-hosts this year were Tom Wilson (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings) and Dan Mangan.

Guests include

  • Angelique Francis
  • Digging Roots
  • Shawn Hall (The Harp and Axe)
  • Jon Dore
  • Shakura S’Aida
  • The Weather Station
  • Marc Jordan and Amy Sky
  • CKUA Hosts
  • Holger Petersen
  • Cam Hayden
  • Kate Stevens
  • Marek Tyler
  • Grant Stovel
  • Kerry Clarke

This podcast is an edited combination of guest comments over the two-hour show. Best exchanges on the day!

Please enjoy!

And thank you all.

Guests, crew,  staff, volunteers, Vintage West, Rigoletto.

Mulligan Stew March 23rd 2024-A Spring STEW. Donor Driven with Summer Tires!!!

hello

As you may have heard, CKUA Radio is donor-supported. Closing in on 100 years. So when a donor steps up and supports us through a one-hour donation, we focus on what their message is and the music they like.

 

Tracey, the donor for the first hour sent forward a great wish list of tunes and artists and this fine message….

“Music was my constant companion growing up on a ranch West of Calgary. The story of a song is so very powerful and is something we carry with us for our entire lives. My husband  Kelvin and I appreciate the diversity of your network.   Saturdays (both day and nights) would not be the same without your station. We’ll be toasting you, along with all the other great CKUA donors and supporters.  Thanks for all you do.

well, thank you. much appreciated.

Here’s some of what Bar Open A wanted to hear.  Corb, Dire Straits, Robert Plant/ Alison Krauss, Van Morrison, McCartney & Wings. Bowie to start Hour Two.

I left room to Rodney Crowell, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Teskey Brothers.

A salute to Mike Campbell, leader of The Heartbreakers. His duet with Margo Price Light Me Up from Strays and co-writer of  Don Henley’s   Boys of Summer from First Aid Kit.

New music from Van the Man, Adrian Sutherland, Lake Street Dive, Shawnee Kish, and Toots in Memphis.

 

and finally, the LIVE tracks for your Saturday night. 4 in one segment  from

Neil Young – Sugar Mountain (Young Shakespeare)

George Harrison  My Sweet Lord (Bangladesh)

Aretha  – Never loved a man (Paris)

Tedeschi Trucks  – Love has something else to say – (Everybody’s Talking )

Madeleine  Peyroux – Walking after Midnight –  (Careless Love – Deluxe)

 

and we finish with a stellar version of Homburg  (the full-length version ) by Procol Harum..in honour of lyricist Keith Reid who passed away exactly a year ago and his writing/singing partner the great Gary Booker who passed away two years ago.

Cheers to The Bar Open A Ranch!!!!!

EP 298 | Shotgun Sandra Oldfield . Alberta-BC Wine War

hello

 

Sandra Oldfield is one of the leading voices for and in the Okanagan Wine Industry.

Was team leader and winemaking leader at Tinhorn Creek in the South Okanagan.

Now, she and her husband Kenn lead a popular consulting firm called Elysian Projects. Sandra is also one of the leaders in BC Tourism.

She’s a highly respected spokesperson for the wine community in BC.

No one hired her, she just is.

Sandra is also a world-class troublemaker and people love her for that.

She speaks her mind but does it from knowledge and passion for who and what she’s standing up for.

Several years ago the Liquor Control bureaucrats would not allow wine fans to buy BC wine in BC and drive it back home to Alberta.

I drove a case of wine across the BC/Alberta border but was not detained. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/no-wining-dj-flouts-prohibition-era-wine-law-1.643649

 

Sandra ordered a shotgun from the prairies to show that a gun could be sent across borders but not wine. We’ve been friends ever since.

Now the same Alberta Liquor agency is telling BC Wineries that they cannot send their wines to wine club members in Alberta and if they do, all their wines will be pulled from store shelves in that province.

This is all happening just as many of the small BC farmers who grow the grapes are staggered from the almost complete loss of vineyards and fruit in the Okanagan from two Winter cold snaps that killed many many vines.

I found Sandra in Victoria  and sat down for a focused talk about the state of her industry and possible solutions for all involved. Both sides.

She also has revealed a video she shot with her husband Kenn. Boxes arriving from Alberta were sent directly to her house in BC.

Sandra will explain what that says about the playing field here.

Delighted to welcome Shotgun Sandra Oldfield
