Frazey Ford’s last album, Indian Ocean, brought her worldwide attention — something that hit the BC singer-songwriter while playing a show in New Zealand last November.
“There was a whole row of women in front who flew in from some other island. And they knew the words to every song,” she tells Terry David Mulligan on this week’s podcast. “It was just so sweet. It’s a wild thing.”
Now working with a new label and with another album set to be finished later this year, Ford gives a peek at her personal approach to songwriter. And he shares some info on her plans this summer, which include a stop off at Lethbridge’s Wide Skies Music Festival.
Songs featured on this podcast include “Indian Ocean,” “Done,” and “September Fields” from Frazey’s 2014 album Indian Ocean.

Singer, songwriter, and philanthropist Molly Johnson sits down with Terry this week to discuss her latest record, Meaning To Tell Ya. Molly talks about working with Grammy-award winning producer Larry Klein, who has worked on some of the greatest vocal jazz records of all time. She reflects on “being born into the business”, and the people who’ve shaped her life along the way. Plus, she chats with Terry about covers – why she loves performing them, why nobody other than k.d. lang should cover “Hallelujah”, and why she now enjoys singing Leonard Cohen songs.

This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Alejandro Rose-Garcia, better known as Shakey Graves. The Austin-based musician returns this month with a brand new album called ‘Can’t Wake Up.’ His label was kind enough to let us share four tracks from the new record on the podcast. We’ll check out “Counting Sheep,” “Dining Alone,” “Aibohphobia,” and “Tin Man.”
Alejandro talks to Terry about making a record that reflected the full range of his musical influences. Plus, we’ll hear about his early musical influences, the question Canadian interviewers have been asking about the new record, and recording at Levon Helm’s studios in Woodstock.
