On this episode we sat down with Brock, the front man of the relatively new band Patchwork out of Prince George. We saw them live the night after this performance and you would think they had been playing together for years. Brock tells us about the make up of the band, and how they evolved from a trio. Enjoy.
Danny Bell is a big part of the music scene in Prince George, from hosting the open mic at Nancy O’s to now being a major part of all the shows happening at the PG Legion. He shares about his upcoming album, and what he is looking forward to this summer.
We got to sit down with the frontman Iyan Bruvold of Folky Strum Strum. A staple in the Peace Region music scene. Iyan shares how his songwriting methods have evolved, what new instruments he is dabbling in, and what the summer looks like for him and the band.
We sat down with Brin Porter, the brain behind the The Brain Porter Project and long time member of The Party On High Street. He didn’t play us a song live, as his setup justifies a 60 minute show, but he did send us a recording of one of his new songs. Enjoy!
