All Things Konsidered: JID, Sloan, Julianna Riolino, Live shows

1 Comment on All Things Konsidered: JID, Sloan, Julianna Riolino, Live shows

My son, who is 14, and I have been to a couple of shows together recently, including taking a trip to Vancouver to see JID and more recently, a drive to nearby Sherwood Park to see Sloan, just ahead of us heading to the Aviary in Edmonton to see Julianna Riolino on November 23. And so, we decided to record a pod about these experiences and people, and ponder what it means to see live music together, as a dad and son.

Featuring music produced by Levon Khanna.
