The ConunDRUM / Quarter Notes

If ever there was someone I was due to have a chat with...it's this guy!!  Louis Sippley is someone that I literally grew up with and certainly spent most of my formative years hanging out with. We're talking since the 4th grade!! We get to catch up and go down memory lane all in the same conversation - his musical journey, how he got into the music/metal scene in Moncton - to then joining one of...

For the first time in a long while I get to have a one on one conversation with my brother in arms and other half of the rhythm section to Six Gun Smoke - the one and only Sean McClafferty. We've known each other for so long, it's hard to remember when and how we met - sometime before he set himself on fire in a field while playing rock 'n roll!! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.   Here...

In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with Kendra Gale from Kendra Gale Band - she is an absolute powerhouse vocalist, guitarist, and drummer!  We have a great talk about her early beginnings as a drummer and how she developed into a guitarist/singer songwriter. We get into some of her trials of being a woman in the music industry and what she is doing now to help develop young girls (an...

I get to have a long overdue conversation with Matt Bowie from Kill Chicago!  They are arguably the best band in New Brunswick - and a big part of that is the punk rock energy of their live shows, and the solid rhythm section. Matt and I chat about his musical upbringing and his journey from learning to play punk on guitar to picking up the bass when an old friend came back to town.  Do yourself a...

In the second "non-drummer" guest, I get to sit back and talk with Dillon Ryan from the Music NB Award winning band "Dillon Ryan and the Dream Romantic"!   We talk about the early days of influence listening to The Doors, David Bowie, and KISS...what punk rock means to his group of 7th grade music students. We also talk about the evolution Dillon's taken as a songwriter and how his musical path st...

This episode I venture out into the realm of the "non-drummer" guest for the first time and have an overdue chat with my BFF - Jack Bowie!  We go WAY back and talk about how we came to meet and those early days in our hometown of Miramichi. I get to learn more about where his influences came from and how he approaches the guitar and how Six Gun Smoke songs come together.  Where to find Jack online...

In this episode, I get to sit and have an overdue chat with my good friend and #lcdartistfam sister Nadine Paulin from "Which Witch is Which".  We talk about how she started playing drums later in her adult life, how she was recruited to play in WWIW, and the love she has for punk and classic rock. We play a little game I call "Crash Questions"...it's a really good episode!  Here are the links to...

In the second episode of the podcast I get to sit and have a chat with Ryan P Gallant - monster drummer and fellow #lcdartist.  It was a great introduction as we've not had the opportunity to meet in person....even though it appears we may in fact be related (?).  Please check out all of Ryan's social media: facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ryanpdrum  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ryanp...

In this first episode I get to sit down with "the Band" from the Kendra Gale Band...my dear brother from another mother - Mr. Warren Beatteay!! #lcdartistfam Warren is a super drummer and an all around great guy. His love and passion for what he does comes through in every performance and you can't help but have a good time watching him play drums. We chat about how he got started with drums and m...
