Today's golden goose of a Graventown guest is someone who has been involved in my life in many different iterations. As a kid, I would hear my friend Stu regale tales of a hilarious guy named Sean Cooley, and their adventures around the Kanata/Nepean/Bells Corners corridor with another young wild funny human named Tom Green. Years later in life, when my daughter was on the way, in a small world 'ah-ha' moment, Sean was actually my boss at Beau's All Natural Brewing in Vankleek Hill and was always a kind and welcoming force in my life. Sean has been a lifelong lover of and creative contributor to radio (as the host of epic community radio shows in Ottawa like "The Midnight Caller", "The Breaks" and "Moonrappin"), rap and hip-hop and comedy (inadvertently because he's so funny) with an avid interest in boxing and animals of all kinds, and has one of the best logistically sharp minds of anyone I've ever met. Today, he is the Supply Chain Manager at Montebello Packaging. It was rad to connect again with him in Graventown.

My new album "Geographics" is out now on all platforms. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album on my bandcamp page, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride. Follow me @gravencanada on all the socials, and check my website to see when I'm playing live in a town near you. Join Graventown today to support yours truly for only 8 clams a month.
