This is an interview of Terry David Mulligan by @officialeeroystagger March 2026 at Leeroy's home-based studio in Langford, BC. The interview is to discuss the 30 year anniversary of the Mulligan Stew Radio show on @CKUARadio YEAR 30. I was aware of years 28 and 29, but thirty actually snuck up on me. I'm told by fellow broadcasters that I'm part of an exclusive broadcasting club - 30 years with the same show and the same station rarely happens. Very RARE. Except this is CKUA. Once you get a chance to sit in the chair and adjust the microphone, you're working at one of the very best radio stations anywhere. Best of all, you have artistic freedom to create your show. Play what you want and know that the CKUA audience gets it. Trust me, there's nothing like it. No computer is picking your show...it's you, the music and the audience, like family. So, I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you who listen and donate.
Leeroy Stagger Interview with Terry David Mulligan on the 30 Years of Mulligan Stew EP 386
AW Cardinal and Jasmine Colette continue to create very new and very different music. The last album was recorded over several days in New Orleans. The new album,  Get Your Feathers Ready, was a meeting of Coast Salish and Treaty 6 in Maskwacis, Alberta. One day of rehearsal with AW, Jas, and the Northern Cree Drummers and Singers. Jas and AW had discovered that early 1920s blues from the deep south and Northern Cree traditional pow wow had a commonality. They each brought their songs and met in the middle. It feels like the start of a historic journey. Two legendary music communities, making new music in 2026. Steve Wood, the much-admired leader and drum keeper of Northern Cree and his son Joel complete the music circle. @BlueMoonMarquee @Drumcir

Calgary, Alberta: A coalition of industry associations representing Canadian wineries, restaurants, import agents, and Alberta retail and hospitality businesses are calling on the Government of Alberta to repeal its unfair and damaging ad valorem tax on wine. Implemented in 2025 without industry consultation, Alberta’s wine tax is driving up prices for Alberta consumers and small businesses, hurting Canadian wineries, and directly contradicting federal and provincial efforts to reduce interprovincial trade barriers. Administered as an ad valorem markup structure through the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), Alberta’s wine tax adds an escalating percentage-based markup on wine sold in Alberta on top of the flat-tax markup. Restaurants, retailers, agents, and wine producers all strongly oppose the introduction of Ad Valorem markup pricing to Alberta’s competitive flat-tax markup system. The fees for the additional Alberta wine tax are 5% for wine valued between $15-20 per litre; 10% for any valued between $20-25 per litre; and 15% for $25 per litre and above. All wines over $11.25/750ml bottle are impacted by the additional tax. (Press Release Wednesday Jan 14 from Wine BC.) Jeff Guignard, president and CEO of Wine Growers British Columbia, said the tax has significantly reduced sales from Canadian wineries into Alberta. “We’re seeing declines of up to 50 per cent in direct-to-consumer shipments to Albertans,” he said. “It is now harder and more expensive to sell Canadian wine in Alberta than it has ever been.” Mark von Schellwitz, vice-president of Restaurants Canada, warned the tax could set a precedent. “We’re really worried this is a slippery slope,” he said. “Ad valorem is now on wine. What’s going to come next as far as an ad valorem tax, which is going to make things a lot more expensive for Alberta consumers.” This edition of Tasting Room Radio will attempt to explain and understand yet another tax on BC wines in Alberta. Just as the feds are gathering provincial governments May 1 in hopes of freeing up wines crossing borders across Canada, along comes yet another jump in Alberta prices. We've asked several key leaders to step forward and do their best to make sense of another neighborhood squabble. Is it a well constructed provincial government move or a naked cash grab at the expense of wineries and wine fans?

Alberta Wine Tax gets strong push back from Wine BC Coalition-Interviews by Terry David Mulligan
We’ve all been in the right place at the right time. For me, one of those times was to be hosting and producing MuchWest in Vancouver when Sarah McLachlan moved from Halifax to Vancouver to begin what would become an amazing career. Sarah ended up on the West Coast because in Halifax,  her home,  she had opened for a band from Nettwerk Records in Kitsilano. They wanted to sign her immediately, but Sarah’s parents insisted she finish her schooling. It felt like she came to Vancouver with songs already written and ready to go. It wasn’t long before  Sarah released her debut album Touch. That’s when I first met and interviewed her.   The gift she gave the world were songs cutting deep into memory and self-awareness. Since 1989, the gift she’s given me was to tell part of the story through our interviews. That’s one of the reasons why I asked Sarah to come to Thailand and Cambodia with me in 1991 to tell the story of World Vision’s battle with the aids epidemic. Sarah is on record as saying the journey changed her life. It helped her understand the power of giving back. It also leads directly to her involvement with the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. Some of our interviews showed up in the Lilith Fair Documentary. It’s been 11 years since Sarah recorded and released new music. Her new album is called Better Broken. We’ll talk about a lot of things.  Better Broken,  Motherhood, today’s music world and her place in it, the legacy of Lilith, the Fumbling Towards Ecstasy 30th anniversary  Tour and Canada – O Canada. @sarahmclachlan

The Smiling Land is a celebration of Alan’s Newfoundland, in its legendary past and brilliant future. The music, the bays, towns, villages, and 12-hour ferry rides to get you halfway to where you’re going. Alan is the tour guide, something he’s actually done! Besides the reader, along for the drives are his beloved wife and teenage son. To go camping, they’re pulling a small trailer home behind. FYI – Alan hates camping and driving. I swear, many of us will find a way to take the same drive – just once in our lives. The history, the legends, the forming of the first real settlements in North America. Characters who thought nothing of leaving their homes, sailing the North Atlantic and starting again in a wild new world. Many towns, bays, lakes, mountains and forests were named after those “characters”. And many a song and story has been handed down. The complete Alan Doyle Experience can be heard on The Stew this Saturday. Driven by four Doyle Songs, including his latest. @AlanDoyleOfficial @GreatBigSeaOfficial @bestcoastdistillers

No/Lo spirits, wine, cider, and beer have been “trending” for many years now. The search for wine and beer replacements has always been there. A number of producers began to find results after they made their wine and beer, then stripped the alcohol out and substituted the taste with other elements. Fruit, tea, spices, etc. Suddenly, some of the replacements tasted even better than the originals. Kurtis Kolt, sommelier and wine educator, wine judge, and co-founder of Top Drop Vancouver, has organized a second Free Spirit Vancouver. The first was in January of this year, when he hosted 10 vendors pouring, collectively, just under 20 brands. Monday, Dec 8, 630-830, Heritage Hall 3102 Main Street Free Spirit Vancouver will have almost 60 producers pouring no/lo. That, my friends, is called “Trending” with a capital T. Please check out the free spirit link below to see the producers’ list and to follow along with Kurtis Kolt’s interview. Be sharp, he motors through a lot of labels and tastes.

How do you celebrate a 40-year music career? If you're Blue Rodeo, you tour Canada in 40 dates, and the last two are in Massey Hall. We're showcasing Blue Rodeo with separate one-on-one interviews with co-founders and co-writers/singers Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy. , Blue Rodeo and the guys have multiple Junos, Hall of Fame inductions, Songwriters Hall of Fame, Canadian Walk of Fame, Orders of Canada, a really good documentary and just this year, a stamp and a beer. To me, I hear the sound of Canada in their high harmonies. They started out as a hot bar band after returning from a disappointing series of months in New York. New York said, "You can't have two lead singers and you can't do country, rock and roots. You must have a clear image of who the audience sees you as". Back in Canada. None of that existed. We loved them just as they were. The boys knew where they belonged, and it showed up in the joy of their music. Enjoy this conversation between three music fans who lived those 40 years. And are still friends @BlueRodeoOfficial @JimCuddyOfficial @GregKeelorMusic @TerryDavidMulligan @bestcoastdistillers @Nomanzland-70

The amazing story and success of Winnipeg’s David and Joey Landreth continue with the release of their 9th studio album, Dog Ear. The brothers join us from home base as they prepare for a full European tour and select key American dates this year. The new album deals with finding a balance between making music and raising their families. In the music business, with all its touring, it can be really hard on the whole family. After having a Grammy hit with the Landreth’s Made up Mind, their music hero, Bonnie Raitt, asked the boys to send her songs from their new album. She came back saying, “I can’t decide which one I want to sing on – so how about two songs?”. She sang harmony on Knuckles and background on Half Moon Eyes. David and Joey grew up in a musical family and listened to Bonnie and Little Feat growing up. They can’t begin to describe what it’s like to not only meet your heroes but to play and sing with them!! As you can imagine, it’s out of this world. @Thebroslandreth @bestcoastdistillers

Americana singer-songwriter Mariel Buckley announces her just-released album – Strange Trip Ahead, out Friday, October 17, 2025, via Birthday Cake Records. It finds Mariel venturing into new sonic ground for her, embracing an indie-rock song box that leans away from her country and Americana roots. The album reveals a deep dive into themes of adolescent shame, secrecy, and queer longing. With complex songs that take the listener through the emotional turbulence of youth, crafting a listening experience that feels like floating in uncertainty, suspended one moment, crashing the next. Mariel begins a bold new direction with this Strange Trip Ahead. “I was itching to try something a little heavier than my previous stuff,” she shares. “I wanted to move away from synths and keys in general, citing references from indie rock, pop music, and alt-country.” The album offers an honest portrait of empty hotel rooms, long stretches of highway, and the quiet loneliness found in mundane rituals like pumping gas and loitering around with a bad cup of coffee. Almost Nomadland-like, it feels like a slice-of-life vignette; a glimpse into the less-than-glamorous underbelly of being a working artist. Our interview starts with talking about our favourite track from the album. We both picked the last track…. Lucky. (A complete gem.) It also includes the album title in the lyrics. Nashville Now – Builds slowly and gets darker with every bar and chord. Somewhere else, which mentions drinking a $13.00 wine Vending machine – glorious harmonies smothered in beautiful dark lyrics. “Dreaming and drowning, disdain and devotion to a career spent adoring travel and the limelight. Packing and unpacking. Feeling sorry for myself.” Mariel calls these songs her most honest work to date. There is a glimmer of light, I hope you can find and shine on the corners of your mind. That feeling is too dark to bear. Hang on, buddy – the best is yet to come.” Mariel starts a complete coast-to-coast tour with Matt Anderson Jan 24 in Glace Bay, NS and finishes in Victoria, BC March 2. (Feb 25 Calgary – Feb 26 Edmonton) @mariel_buckley www.marielbuckley.com

A long-distance pal returns to the podcast. Sensational Singer- Prolific Songwriter - Road Warrior.   Terra Lightfoot Terra Lightfoot has a well-earned reputation as a tireless live performer, with a tour history mapped across the globe and awards testifying to every mile logged along the way. To date, Lightfoot's marathon tours have touched down in eight countries across four continents. She also conceived, created, curated, produced and co-headlined The Longest Road Show, an all-female touring revue. Most fans would reasonably assume that the singer-songwriter’s natural element is in the spotlight. But even accomplished touring artists like Lightfoot feel the insistent tug of home. That place, which for Lightfoot is a scenic hideaway, is captured in warm detail on the artist’s intimate new album, Home Front. In stark contrast to the anthemic alt-pop riffs of 2017’s New Mistakes and 2023’s Healing Power (each of which earned the artist JUNO Award nominations and Polaris Music Prize mentions), this is an unplugged session in more ways than one. In Terra's words ..... “This house is a special place. “It sits all by itself between woods and streams that go on for acres and acres, and a beautiful wetland teeming with wildlife. I find myself living more comfortably in my own bones than ever before when I’m here. There is a deep quiet here, in the house that backs onto the beaver marsh. Blue herons fly, and moose and bears walk the forest path out back. It is a place where I can’t help but be more connected to the natural world. Being so engrossed in the world of loud rock ’n’ roll guitar doesn’t leave a lot of space for field recording or softly strummed nylon strings. Home Front is the place where I can share all those softer and sweeter moments.” Home Front releases Oct 17th.  Next Week - Mariel Buckley and her newest album Strange Road Trip which premieres' same day, Oct 17

Award-winning writer/director/actor Ben Immanuel’s feature film Are We Done Now? was released for VOD in Canada on September 30.  The film makes its U.S. Premiere at the SOHO International Film Festival from October 7-14. Are We Done Now, starring Gabrielle Miller with Favour Onwuka, Natalie Farrow, Eliot Ramsey, Giacomo Baessato, Jennifer Spence, and Camille Sullivan, promises to resonate with audiences on both comedic and deeply emotional levels. The film won the Audience Award for "Most Popular Canadian Feature Film" at its Canadian Premiere at the Available Light Film Festival, and Natalie Farrow recently won a Leo Award for “Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Motion Picture” for her role as “Lennon.”  This thought-provoking dramedy will resonate with audiences on both comedic and deeply emotional levels. Shot between 2020 and 2024, Immanuel brings to the screen a profoundly relatable story following Pamela, a therapist (played by Gabrielle Miller of Corner Gas and Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey), and her diverse young clients as they participate in a (fictionalized) documentary exploring the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on their mental health. Through this experience, they—and the filmmaker—gain unexpected self-insight, leading to a deeper understanding of their identities and roles in our transformed world. The film’s cast features an array of talent, including Favour Onwuka (Dying to Belong), Giacomo Baessato (The Good Doctor), Jennifer Spence (The Trades), Camille Sullivan (Shoresy, Hunter, Hunter), Elliott Ramsey (UnREAL), and Natalie Farrow (Siren). Immanuel also appears as the documentarian, offering a unique perspective on the characters' journeys. Our podcast interview is with Ben Immanuel Ratner - Director!!

Our guest this week is songwriter, storyteller and singer with a one-of-a kind voice, Ron Sexsmith. I think the older I get, the clearer those memories become—and the more precious,”  Friday of this week he released his 18th album Hangover Terrace. It’s a wonderfully complex album born during Ron’s extended stay in the UK after his Sexsmith at Sixty tour. Recorded at London’s Eastcote Studios with longtime producer Martin Terefe, the sessions marked a turning point—ushering in a more introspective sound.  “This record speaks to the hangover I feel from the last few years of pandemic and life knocking us around,”   Gone is the gentle optimism of his recent work, The Vivian Line & Hermitage—Hangover Terrace is marked by personal loss, shifting friendships, and emotional grit. Ron Sexsmith proves, once again, that no one captures life’s quiet truths quite like he can. “The version of me that wrote those early records couldn’t write these songs,” he says. “Don’t give up. Stay focused on what’s real.” There was a celebration of Gordon Lightfoot and his songs at Massey Hall not too long ago. Missing was the biggest fan of Gord, Ron Sexsmith. Ron organized his own celebration for Gord at Hugh's Room in Toronto from Jan 31 to Feb 2. It was all Gord and each show was sold out.   For the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the Terry David Mulligan YouTube Channel, Ron lays the whole story out.  He also takes us through songs like  Easy for you to say "I wear my heart on my sleeve, where's you heart at? Cigarette and Cocktail "what comes for us, we can't outrun" Damn well please - "I've got one life, that's all I know"   Burgoyne Woods "up to no good in Burgoyne Woods. A band of misfits from the land of hosers." Must be something wrong with her "she says I'm lovely but the mirror says otherwise" Ron Sexsmith  tour dates include Oct 31  Festival Place Sherwood Park Nov 1 The Grand Calgary Nov 4 The Winspear.  Sidney BC Nov 5 Parksville, Vancouver Island Nov 7 The Hollywood,   Vancouver.

NEON COWGIRL "The Neon Cowgirl-towering over Broadway like the patron saint of heartbreak in downtown Nashville as she smiles coyly over her shoulder in red cowboy boots-watched me grow up. Basking in her glow, I walked wide-eyed into the Ryman Auditorium as a 16 year-old, clutching my ticket. Later that night, dreaming of standing on that stage, I drifted off to sleep in the bunk of our home on wheels at the KOA next to the Opry. When I was 18, she saw me flipping through Loretta Lynn CDs in Ernest Tubb Record Shop after performing the breakfast and lunch shows on the General Jackson showboat with my parents and brothers in our family band, The Neilsons. At 25, she watched me running all over town, meeting up with other songwriters-writing, writing, writing-before I had to fly back home to Canada again. At 30, I returned as a newlywed on my honeymoon, flying in from New Zealand where I'd moved for love, holding hands with my new husband in Hatch Show Print, introducing him to her like a family member. A decade passed without her as I built a life on the other side of the world and raised 2 babies. My heart raced as I returned to her once again, to showcase at Americanafest, playing to 12 people at 3rd and Lindsley. 5 years and many showcases later, I swear she smiled right at me as I stopped to point her out to my two children as we walked past her, through the doors of the Ryman to finally perform for the first time. NEON COWGIRL represents a lifelong dream of chasing Nashville and country music. I’ve loved her my whole life, even when she breaks my heart over and over again." This weeks guest = Tami Neilson - through much hard work, fierce determination and drive has begun to make all her dreams come true. She is blessed with a voice that's been described as "a fire breathing R&B belter" by Rolling Stone. Tami has now played the Ryman, sung a duet with her hero Willie Nelson. Travelled the highways and cities of the USA and Canada in an RV with her NZ family, so they could experience where she came from and the places on the planet she was singing about. Her latest adventure was opening for Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan as part of the Outlaw Music Festival. Dreams DO come true. She's done all this while dealing with health issues and her brother Jay's recovery from major surgery.
