Well hey friends. I'm trying to get back into the podcast fray and I always appreciate your ears and support. Starting in September, I'm gonna be riding roughshod across the rugged Ontario terrain with a great friend and an even greater music maker; Stephen Stanley. Wolfe Island-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Stephen Stanley may most immediately be known as a founding member, lead guitarist and vocalist with the acclaimed early 90’s alt-rock band "The Lowest of the Low". Since those days, Stephen has gone on to release some of his finest music of all time with "The Stephen Stanley Band" and their new album, Before The Collapse Of The Hive (Wolfe Island Records), is a multi dimensional banger. It’s an album brimming with raw, unflinching urgency, steadfast observation and soul-searching storytelling that highlights Stephen’s immediate world: those he loves, and those he’s lost. This was my second chat with Stephen and we had a lovely time. For tickets and times on our Ontario tour in September, go to https://graven.ca for more info. I love you.
My new album "Geographics" is releasing (on my Bandcamp page only) through late January into late February 2026, and every Monday and Friday of those months, I'll have a new song up for you to digest into your ear canals. You can preorder the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album, (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.
