Post author By vish
Post date August 6, 2026

Mariel Buckley is here to discuss her album Strange Trip Ahead, her busy summer festival circuit, what winning the 2026 Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year in Canada has meant to her, how some folks miss the humour in her emotional, personal songwriting, her fondness for Calgary but also why she wound up night writing songs in Edmonton, her musical family, being a huge fan of Gord Downie and seeing the Tragically Hip many, many times, why her own music might be getting louder, playing the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and tour dates with Bahamas, other future plans, and much more.

Julia Steiner from Ratboys returns to discuss their new album, Singin’ to an Empty Chair, processing the death of comedy legend Catherine O’Hara, writing songs inspired by her first experiences in therapy, working with producer Chris Walla and songs that combine session work at a rented cabin with those recorded at Electrical Audio, Steve Albini’s drum sound, anxiety, dogs, and Indiana Jones, our shared love of the Beths and Miriam Toews, addressing empty chairs and the time Clint Eastwood did that, Jimmie Kilpatrick, Thrush Hermit, and Joel Plaskett, going to a songwriting camp with Blake Mills, tour dates, other future plans, and much more!
