Better in Stereo

Matt Sellick is a flamenco guitar virtuoso, composer, and performer. How did someone from Thunder Bay discover this passionate and intricate art form? We were lucky to have Sellick join us in the studio at Blueprints while in town for a live concert recording with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. We talk dreams coming true and more. 

Brothers. Boys. Bandmates. The Lockyer Boys (Charlie and Will) have big dreams for the year ahead. Highlights from 2024 included playing at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium and the Drake Underground in Toronto. They sat down with us in studio at Blueprints to share their musical beginnings and more.

It’s only rock and roll, but they like it. Hard rock band Page 38 have been in the studio working on a string of new singles with big plans for 2025. Are they as tough and gritty as their music? And what’s the connection with their name and The Walleye ? We sat down with a few members of the band to get the deets and more.

Pink hair, don’t care. Visual and tattoo artist Hanna Koester describes her musical project/persona PINK IVY as a little pink demon making music to cry to. You will also find that beneath the bright hair and penchant for tattoos beats an imaginative and sensitive heart making art exactly the way that she wants to.

The Honest Heart Collective has gone from four to two, coming out the other side with a new acoustic EP, a tour with Matthew Good, and a full-length album waiting in the wings. We sat down with Ryan and Nic MacDonald to chat about music, their Westfort upbringing, and what’s next for the two brothers who collectively still have a lot of heart.

Singer/songwriter/storyteller Sara Kae is finding her way. On the heels of a busy summer performing and recording new music, she sat down with us at Blueprints to chat about the evolution of her sound, the four-song EP she plans to release this month, her vintage cowboy boots, and the artist who inspired her to write a song about Nipigon.
