Canadian Musician Podcast

This should be a fun one. First, we'll have all the info to get you prepped and primed for NXNE 2013. Then, we'll speak with New Brunswick-based burgeoning troubadour David Myles and Warner Music Canada's Head of A&R, Ron Lopata. In our CM Academy session, Lopata will share some insight into how labels like Warner are nurturing talent - and what you need to do to get to that level. Even if a spot on a major label roster isn't what you're after, you'll still need studio-ready material to make an impact in this business. Then, Myles will speak about his latest double-disc "In The Nighttime," working with fellow Maritime music man Classified, and much more.

We're pretty excited for this one. We'll have Mike speaking with Blue Rodeo's Greg Keelor from the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards. Keelor is performing at the show with Travis Good of The Sadies, and apparently the two have something special on the go. We'll get the lowdown from Greg and, of course, an update from the Blue Rodeo camp. Also, Andrew sits down with producer, songwriter, and artist developer Brian Howes, who'll offer some tips on fine-tuning your craft and getting poised to capitalize on opportunities. Brian has produced work from Nickelback, Simple Plan, Hedley, and a plethora of other platinum-sellers, so he knows a thing or two. We look forward to having you join us!
