The Mulligan Stew Podcast will feature Miami Steve van Zandt  Part 2. 

Steve kicks things off with an extended jam on The Big Bang

Steve and many music fans believe it was Feb 9, 1964, when The Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show but Steve also riffs on the Summer of 1965 when Bob Dylan released Subterranean Homesick Blues and he’ll tell you WHY that was the Real Big Bang.

Special Guests in the second hour Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland – Whitehorse!

They bring with them stories and new music from the just-released album Strike Me Down.

They got themselves through Covid lockdown by performing mini-concerts in their home (Happy Hour Sessions) with their son joining them occasionally.

Luke and Melissa also took the time to write lots of songs.  10 of the best show up on their new album.

As always, you can never anticipate which Whitehorse will show up.

They revel in blues, rock, pop, Abba disco. All with storytelling lyrics, wicked guitar work, and vocals that keep moving around like a UFO.

Luke, Melissa, and I cover 4 tracks from the album, riff on the question what IS rock and roll these days and what does 2022 look like.

For starters  2022 includes Massey Hall on March 3  and National Arts Centre on March 19!

Melissa and Luke are two of the most interesting artists working today. They have worked very hard to seek and find an audience that wants to celebrate the full Whitehorse experience.

FYI – the complete totally engaged interview can be heard next week on the Mulligan Stew Podcast (Subscribe of Spotify. Apple Podcasts and Google Play)
