EP 213 | Music Festival Season 2022 pt2

hello

Welcome to the 2022 Summer Music Festivals. Part Two
We’ve kept Edmonton, Calgary, and the next event the Vancouver Folk Festival in the mix.
Added this week is HUFF  the Halifax Urban Folk Festival. Its artistic director is a classic Canadian troublemaker, Mike Campbell.
The same Mike who co-hosted Mike and Mike for
MuchMusic.

Mike Campbell

Then curated the rise of a great music room  The Carleton in Halifax. It just won the best small live room in Canada.

Like its leader,  the HUFF is wonderfully different.
Enjoy!!
Here we go…
When the pandemic hit at the beginning of 2019 anything that qualified as a gathering took the brunt of the hit.
Restaurants, concerts, sports, schools, music tours, group travel, etc!
Festivals of all descriptions were immediately shut down and artists went home and stayed home.
So, here we are two years later and this summer the music festivals have been fully booked by artists who can’t wait to get on the road and on stage. To be met by audiences and music fans who truly missed the live music experience.
We’ll touch on four music festivals but they do represent all festivals, big and small.  Please find one near you and support the festival and the artists.
Each web link below has info on the performers, their schedules, and ticket sales.
Our guests are
Terry Wickham – Producer,  Edmonton Folk Music Festival Aug 4-7
Kerry Clarke — Artistic Director Calgary Folk Fest  Prince’s Island Park July 21-24
Debbie Salmonsen – Artistic Director Vancouver Folk Fest – Jericho Beach July 15-17
Mike Campbell. Artistic Director HUFF.  Halifax
End of August and early September.

EP 145 | Buffy Saint-Marie Turns 80-REPEAT!

hello

Last Saturday Singer/Songwriter, Educator, Social Activist, Mother, and leader Buffy Saint-Marie celebrated her 80th Birthday.  

She had some cake she made the night before and called us from her home in Hawaii.

This is the complete interview 

(Keep your ears open for chickens and roosters in the yard and about 15 minutes in a huge rainstorm pounds the roof.  She does live in a rainforest after all)

Because we have known each other over so many years, I went all the way back to her birth. She was abandoned as a baby and adopted by a family who gave her love and education. Buffy explains that she doesn’t really know her real birthday date but it didn’t let her stop becoming a legend.

Original photography by Jack Robinson.
www.robinsonarchive.com

She was told at 6 years old in school that “there were no more Indians around. All Gone.  Maybe some in Arizona”.  We talk about what has changed for young native students. If anything.

Buffy has always lived a life looking at ”the long view”.  In our talk, she explains what that means and how well it served her. She likes “busy”. Busy is good.

She’s won a Grammy, An Oscar, received an  Order of Canada,  spent 5 glorious years educating on Sesame Street, and has received countless honors.

You can read about her amazing life in Andrea Warner’s  Book,  Buffy Saint-Marie – The Authorized Bio.

We welcome back – The Buffster.

Mulligan Stew June 25th 2022-Summer feelin!

hello

Wait!

As I typed the title of this Stew I realized JUNE is DONE –  Done  Like Dinner!

I have got to get out more.

Plus we all could use music that reflects that freedom.

So, this Stew has the feeling of

driving down the road with the windows down

walking down a sidewalk or trail with the sun warming your back

waking up to a Summer sunrise, and not caring that it’s 5 am.

celebrating the long days and even longer nights.

relocating friends and family and celebrate your luck.

That’s what I’m hoping this hand-picked music does for you.

New music from

Blackie and the Rodeo Kings

The Rolling Stones

Cat Power

Tate McRae

Ghostkeeper

Mavis and Levon

Florence and the Machine

Live tracks from

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Doug Sahm

Neko Case and The Sadies

MulliganStew June 18th 2022- Happy 80th Birthday Paul McCartney!

hello

It’s 1968..I’m in London for the opening of the Apple Store and Company. Sgt Pepper has just been released.

I have a night off and it’s suggested I check out a band at a great small club called Bag O Nails.

The band was great (power trio.,. Sorry can’t remember the name) BUT also very interested were The Beatles.

 3 of the guys walked in and took a booth.

Something compelled me to sit down beside Paul after the band took a break.

I said something like..” we were born days apart. Same year. We’ll be walking the same roads and years. Take care of yourself”

He wanted to know where in Canada I was from and exchanged wartime stories about our Fathers and what brought me to London.  “You… Apple. The Beatles. Music”

We talked for 5 minutes and shook hands…

So. Here we are on the occasion of Paul’s 80th birthday.  He’s still playing concerts and touring. Stays and plays on stage for well over 2 hours.

And I’m still playing his music.  If you take care of yourself and voice and write meaningful tunes..you can rock into your 80s

Playlist includes

Paul solo

Paul Acoustic

The Beatles  Live and Studio

 

Amy Helm, Jim Byrnes, Wicked Wilson Pickett, Van and Buble,  Corey Wong brings the funk, Black Keys, RL Burnside, Annie Lennox, Michael Franti,   John Scofield, Mariel Buckley, Landreth Bros.

EP 112 | Jim Cuddy and Barney Bentall on Fathers Day- Encore Presentation

hello

This Fathers Day gathering took place June 2020. It was so informative and fun that we decided to repeat it this year. Yes there’s talk about lockdown but what that chat reveals is the joy both guys found in “watching the seasons change” and that included their children growing up. They have a revealing discussion between themselves about their children following in their footsteps and the mine field of giving those children advice.

It still rings true.

Welcome to The Mulligan Stew Podcast. Encore  Presentation 

OK. Its Fathers Day weekend.

It’s also Summer Solstice

I always hear a phrase…. “I’m in the family business”

Now, that works if your family are Store Owners, or Office Workers, Doctors. Nurses. Teachers. Farmers etc.

We have two guests today who are friends and fathers.

Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo and The Jim Cuddy Band.

Barney Bentall. Leader of Cariboo Express. High Bar Gang. BYU and his own solo career.

 

How has the family dynamic changed when their sons and daughters follow them in the music business.

Share the stage. Maybe even write songs together. (maybe being the key word)

And how do family members like being the subject of songs they hear on the radio?

I was excited to get these two pals together and exchange life experiences.

Saturday June 18 Barney plays  the Beaumont Blues & Roots Fest.  New album Cosmic Dreamer

Jim and Blue Rodeo play the PNE  Aug 21

We connected on Zoom and you can find the complete conversation below:

EP 211 | Joe Keithley-Hardcore Politics

hello

Guest is a long-time friend Joe Keithley (also known by his D.O.A hardcore punk stage name Joe Shithead)

One of the very few punk artists who didn’t bring their stage characters into their real world.

Joe on stage was wild, pissed off, and very much in your face.

Off stage, he was just a great guy from Burnaby. A regular Joe.

Joe founded D.O.A

Founded Sudden Death Records

Rock Against Racism

Harmony for all – gathering used instruments for Burnaby residents who don’t have access to them.

D.O.A is celebrating the 40th anniversary of their LP Hardcore 81

And Director Scott Crawford is shooting a documentary on Joe and DOA called Something Better Change (named after DOA’s first album)

He’s already shot and released  Creem: America’s only rock and roll magazine and Salad Days. Both were outstanding.

Many of Joe’s former bandmates are long gone but he’s continued to grow and learn to such an extent that he’s now a twice-elected Burnaby City Councillor and  Joe’s just gearing up for another run for office. Knocking on doors is his specialty.

I think he mentions 13,000 during one campaign.

Here’s the best part – he’s still making music with DOA..getting in a tour of Ontario, Quebec, and BC’s interior before the election.

To quote Dan Aykroyd “ is it a floor wax or a shampoo”

Can a guy be a hard-core punker and a politician???

Yes.. yes you can. If you’re Joe Keithley.

Mulligan Stew June 11th 2022- A Special Stew-From The CKUA Boardroom for Brad and Henry

hello

Brad Cowburn was a member of the CKUA board.

January he was diagnosed with cancer. February he passed away. A number of his friends and family donated towards an hour to honor Brad’s memory.

Brad posted on Facebook that he wanted consideration of three songs. (for Lorene)

Charlie Parker loves me Marc Jordan

Blue Alert Madeleine Peyroux

My one and only love  Chris Botti & Paula Cole

I got a feeling – Norah Jones

A song for you – Ray Charles.

They asked for two songs.

Beautiful Boy  John Lennon for their new Grandson Henry

And John Mellencamp’s  Jack and Diane (Play that and dedicate it to “all those who are still living their lives with no holds barred and are thrilled by it”

OH..and I get the Festival Radio bug…and play artists from
