hello

Winnipeg.

It’s smack in the middle of the country.

Influences, whether it be The arts,  food or wine come from East and West.

So how is it, that Winnipeg and Manitoba consistently gift all of Canada with singers and songwriters?

Bands and artists?

All the way back to The Guess Who, Neil Young, BTO, The Weakerthans, Crash test Dummies and so many others.

We have three guests on this week’s Stew.  All three call Winnipeg home.

The Bros Landreth.  Sound like a  latter day Little Feat.

Joey and David. And their buds as supporting band.  Great playing and songwriting.

Joey has a new album coming out. Touring Alberta this week.

Saturday Calgary – Sunday Lethbridge – Tuesday Red Deer –  Wednesday Edmonton.

The Bros album comes out in the Spring.

Carly Dow – Two albums from Kick starter. The first was the very successful Ingrained.

Now comes Comet.

Filled with hooks,  poetry and an understanding of human nature.  Nature period.

Carly is, after all, an Environmental  Scientist.

One of Carly’s best friends is Madeleine Roger who also has a new album out.

Cottonwood was also a Kick-starter project.

Yes, she sounds like a young Joni Mitchell.  That’s just the way she’s built.

Speaking of building, her twin brother Lucas (Roger Roger) builds guitars. Madeleine builds beautiful Kayaks.

And exceptional music. Here is a voice for a generation.

Well done Winnipeg.

Check out the playlist below…

The Beatles demos from the White Album Super Deluxe.

New Los Lobos, Dan Mangan.

Eric Clapton Live, U2 , Whitehorse, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, The Band and Staple Singers, Madeleine Peyroux, Kinks, Paul Simon.

hello

It’s been two years since Dan Mangan stepped of the music merry-go-round and
headed home.
He was seeking silence and family.
What he found were  diapers, dishwashers, lawns to mow and a surprising
workload from film and tv soundtracks and scoring.
So, he was as busy as always but at least he was at home and being a Dad and
Husband.
In those two years between film scoring jobs, he found the time and focus
to work on his next album.  He worked his ass off hoping to get it right.
Well, He Got It Right.

This is by-far, the best album he has released.  The writing is nuanced.
The vocals are pulled back and more a part of the texture of the songs
instead of riding on top.  Perhaps it’s part the creative team in the studio
with him and in part because of the film scoring influence.  Doesn’t matter.
He nailed it.
-tdm
Dan says there’s a line in the song Cold in the Summer that sums up
everything he feels about this album, these songs and his life.
“I don’t know where the gig is – I don’t know if it’s cool – But I still get
lost in it and I have more to lose”
On Mulligan Stew – Saturday 5-7 Mtn (4-6 Pacific)
