Winter Songs

Winter songs

Well we are truly deep in it now: winter.

This is an episode for a cold, dark night. But you won’t be alone; this is a show we recorded live in Toronto on the winter solstice at the Burdock Music Hall with a roomful of musicians and Pondercast fans. It was a night of telling winter stories and singing songs.

You will hear from…

• Michael Feuerstack

• Evangeline Gentle

• Doug Tielli

• Abigail Lapell (with Christine Bougie)

• Mappe Of

• Gregory Hoskins and Don Rooke of The Henrys

• Christine Bougie

• Charlotte Cornfield

• Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers

• Michelle Willis (with Christine Bougie, Charlotte Cornfield and Joshua Van Tassel)

• …and of course, Joshua Van Tassel and myself.

All these artists said yes to our invitation to come out and play one song that felt like winter to them. I wrote stories to fit their songs....and we ran the night like a live radio show. It was a collaboration with our friends Killbeat Music and it was a lovely way to spend a winter’s night, huddled together for a sold out show!
