Show Notes
Brad Merritt, bassist of 54.40, joins me to talk about the new 54.40 album, PORTO. Recorded in Portugal, their 16th record was made in an analog studio, a departure from the usual experience for the band. From the band that brought us songs like "I Go Blind", "Ocean Pearl", and "She-La", 54.40 is a Canadian classic! Released in January, get your copy today! Hosted on Acast.

Jackie & Danielle are the hosts of No More Late Fees Podcast, a retro movies podcast that has been going strong for years! They decided to do another episode with me and talk about Hawaiian pop star Hoku! The daughter of famed singer Don Ho, Hoku shot to fame in the very early 2000's with songs like "Another Dumb Blonde" and "Perfect Day", both from movie soundtracks. We discuss the heavy amount of expectations that were placed on female recording artists of that era, and the possibility of Hoko making a comeback. We also discuss dating woes, and Pokémon GO!

On October 2nd, we lost a Canadian music legend. Sass Jordan has passed on, and I felt it would be fitting to re-release her episode of DNP in a special tribute to her life. Her humour, wit, and genuineness shine in this conversation. Feel free to leave comments about your memories of Sass.
