Ep. #1149: Ghostkeeper

Shane Ghostkeeper returns to discuss the new Ghostkeeper album, Balloon Moon, Alberta opting out of Daylight saving time, his busy schedule as a filmmaker and cinematic actor, sharing these pursuits with his young son and wife, why music was surprisingly his second passion, the enduring resonance of obscure films he’s only seen once on late night TV as a kid, the roles he’s often offered and why he’s selective about accepting them, how acting has impacted him as a dynamically powerful singer on this new album, why he booked a recording session without any completed songs ready to go, what inspired him to get a band back together for it, what’s next for Ghostkeeper, other future plans, and much more.
