So I find myself back in "Music City", that's Nashville for those of you who may not know. I meet up with the sensational and ultra talented CALLIE McCULLOUGH . Callie and I discuss the meaning of community and how to find "your people." Callie's journey is unlike many I have heard before, from recording and touring with her mother to finding her own sound and spreading her wings to fly off alone. Callie hits hard with her infectious humility and captivating stories that kept me entertained the entire show. CALLIE McCULLOUGH'S music will be labeled as country by most, but I will label it as sincerity. Callie's vocal prowess can be best summed up with one word "SILKY". Callie carries me on her wings filled with wild "Feathers" and soars the highest heights to show me the true value of "Five Dollar Pearls." An immense amount of fun was had on this show, hope you have as much fun as I did.

This week I am excited to have Johnathon Ford of the imaginative post rock/ambient band UNWED SAILOR. Johnathon has had quite the alluring career when it comes to creating and building his “friendship” with music. Johnathon’s voyage through life has always been connected to music, from a child listening to classical music to the discovery of New Wave and Punk. Johnathon’s longing for community has provided him with an amazing trek throughout his career. Johnathon has been a part of great bands such as ROADSIDE MONUMENT and PEDRO THE LION. With those experiences he embarked on what would become UNWED SAILOR, the band that evokes undeniably sultry sounds to make peace to. “Take A Minute” or 90 of them, and join us in our search of “Truth or Consequences” as we stroll through the “Dark Of The Morning” and “Haze” of the “Indian Ocean.”

UNWED SAILOR - “Truth or Consequences” OUT NOW!!!

Graham Ereaux, who makes music under the alias, Devarrow, is a Canadian musician and producer celebrated for his songs reflecting on small-town joys, personal introspection, environmental and social concerns, and(on this new album)the unique love affair with his converted school bus turned music studio. Despite his seemingly bustling life in rural coastal Canada as a carpenter, surfer, and nature lover, his latest album, Heart Shaped Rock, defies any notion of musical complacency. Opening with the lines, “Every morning I just wake up and I just wash my face. Go downstairs and make some breakfast, coffee and some bacon and eggs,” there cord offers a refreshing take on life's simple pleasures, injecting vitality into a folk genre that can often lean towards melancholy. Devarrow's music is a heartfelt ode to rural life, drawing inspiration from his activities, interests and shared communal moments. Rooted in a deep appreciation for simplicity, he finds solace in stepping away from technology, relishing the quiet moments with morning coffee by his wood stove, and expressing his thoughts on a vintage typewriter. This record is a poignant exploration of the beauty found in life's simple pleasures, influenced by the wisdom of literary works such as "The Unsettling of America" and "The Encyclopedia of Country Living." Through Heart Shaped Rock, Devarrow enthusiastically embraces the mission to revitalize the folk genre, acknowledging his own troubled relationship with it. It is a captivating journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. The title track epitomizes the album's core theme, finding beauty in life's simplicity. Throughout the album, three songs feature toe-tapping whistling, while others incorporate tambourine, shaker, and an upbeat tempo, creating an atmosphere that feels light and airy amid the prevailing tones of folk music. Underneath its friendly and accessible folk-pop facade, Heart Shaped Rock retains moments of profound introspection. Personal stories unfold, from the poignant "Pictures" to the metaphorical love affair with solitude in “Bus Baby.” The album navigates emotions, from the abstract lyricism of “Falling Into Pieces” to the social commentary of “Help Me,” addressing climate and social collapse. At the core of Devarrow's music lies vulnerable lyrics, offering an unfiltered yet relatable glimpse into the life of a millennial navigating meaning in small-town Canada. Rather than shying away from the depth of folk music, Devarrow navigates it with respect and a desire to bring new perspective to the genre, along with a hope that we all somehow, get to a place where we collectively care less about things that don’t actually matter, while somehow caring more about things that do.
