Halifax Is Burning :: S02E34

Halloween approacheth! And seeing how it's my favorite holidays, I decided on this week's episode to focus on some local Halloween-themed songs. Before I got into the ghoulish tunes, however, I had a chat with The Stanfields' Craig Harris. The band is currently stranded in BC, and are asking for your help to get home. Learn more about how you can help HERE.

On to the tunes!

Halifax Is Burning :: S02E32

With Pop Explosion just around the corner, there is no shortage of amazing shows happening in Halifax these days - one of the many reasons I love living here. The fires of the Halifax music scene are blazing strong.

On this week's show, I previewed a bunch of great shows including the upcoming Wooden Sky show at The Seahorse. These guys are an awesome band, and tons of fun. I spoke with the band's frontman, Gavin Gardiner, about their current two-month tour, their AUX TV documentary, and their excitement to be back on the East Coast.

Check it out.
