From Great Big Sea to the Great Big Canadian Road Trip

In this episode of The Radical Fabulatorium, we talk about Séan's journey from fronting one of Canada’s most celebrated bands to life as a solo artist, author, and outspoken advocate for unity and sobriety.

We cover:

• Leaving the “Great Big Tour Bus” to embrace sobriety

• Why he only plays theatres now, not bars

• Music as medicine against division and polarization

• The raw and joyful versions of “Stronger”

• Making Shanty Man during lockdown with Hawksley Workman & Gordie Johnson

• His memoir One Good Reason and the hope it offers

Séan’s Saint John show on Sept 27 is sold out, but you can find his music and book at www.seanmccannsings.com.

I sat down with Dan Briggs, bass player for Between the Buried and Me, to talk about their new album The Blue Nowhere.

We got into the creative process, the band’s history with Jamie King, and how small ideas can grow into big moments on a BTBAM record.

Dan also shared thoughts on joining Inside Out Music and seeing a label as a true curator, memories of touring with The End, and building his vocabulary of reaction.

Crown Lands’ Kevin and Cody join me to discuss their new releases Ritual I & II. We get into the meditative sound of the records, their connection to the larger Fearless narrative, and the financial challenges of crossing the border for shows.
