Podcast episode 557ish: Jon Bryant

This episode is a little late getting to you, but it's timeless so you can still enjoy it, now and forever. Our guest, angelic singer-songwriter Jon Bryant is currently on his cross-Canada tour. Click on his name, which will take you to his website, and see if you're anywhere near him. If so, go see him live. Music, like comedy, is best seen live. On the snowy Sunday night he was with us we talked about his nice jock beginnings, his start in Halifax, the perils of employing the falsetto, meeting James Taylor, his OCD, and flying saucers.

Jan. 12: Jon Bryant

Occasionally throughout our many years on this show, we branch out and have a musician guest. We've had the likes of Craig Northey (Odds), Ewan Currie (Sheepdogs), David Beckingham (Hey Ocean!), Hawksley Workman (Mounties), Ryan Dahle (Limblifter, Mounties), Joel Plaskett (Thrush Hermit, The Emergency) and of course our good pal Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat, Mounties). Tonight we welcome another singer: Jon Bryant. No band name. Just Jon Bryant, a dream-pop singer-songwriter. What's the comedy connection? He was with us in studio a few months ago when his pal Dino Archie was booked on the show and we decided he was worth a whole show on his own. Since his first visit with us, he has completed a European tour. We'll talk about that and whatever else we think of. He's playing the Biltmore Cabaret next week on January 18.

We're on the air at 11pm here in Vancouver. If you're listening from Jon's old home in the maritimes, that's 3am your time. And you can stream it live on coopradio.org or on various radio-streaming apps like TuneIn Radio.

Podcast episode 549ish: Dino Archie (& Jon Bryant)

When Dino Archie came over to play, he brought a friend: musician/singer Jon Bryant. We didn't know Jon would participate, so he didn't get the introduction he deserves. But we eventually got around to it, and we all had a grand old time. Dino talks about his life of leisure now that he's retired. Or should I say "retired"? I still don't know if he is or not. We talk about Dino and Jon's LA exploits, the perils of Twitter, door-to-door knife salesmen, and an idea for a new podcast.
