Now that we are truly deep into Winter, Laurie Brown’s Pondercast Episode 58 brings us Winter Songs. This is an episode for a cold, dark night. But you won’t be alone; this show was recorded at The Longest Night live in Toronto on the Winter Solstice at the Burdock Music Hall with a roomful of musicians and Pondercast fans. It was a night of telling winter stories and singing songs.
You will hear from Michael Feuerstack, Evangeline Gentle, Doug Tielli, Abigail Lapell (with Christine Bougie), Mappe Of, Gregory Hoskins and Don Rooke of The Henrys, Christine Bougie, Charlotte Cornfield, Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers, Michelle Willis (with Christine Bougie, Charlotte Cornfield and Joshua Van Tassel), and of course, Joshua Van Tassel and Laurie Brown.
The Longest Night was a collaboration between Killbeat Music and Pondercast and it was a lovely way to spend a winter’s night, huddled together for a sold out show! All these artists wer invited to come out and play one song that felt like winter to them. Laurie wrote stories to fit their songs....and we ran the night like a live radio show.
