Jason Lalonde (We Are Monroe)

The Osh Pod

Very special episode today pals, Jason (guitarist, @WeAreMonroe) calls in to chop it up about the band's recent European tour, the evolution of the WAM project, the Osheaga experience and the importance of the home town crowd, plus what it means to bring it at a live show. Oh, and we also cover the perils of parenting in the electronic age, nostalgia as an emotion, being a musician-dad, and we even get a cameo from Jay's daughter. We Are Monroe is playing Friday (Aug 2) afternoon, 2:20 PM at the Perrier Tree Stage, and they are a sound you won't want to miss - it's really great to hear about a band like these guys, who were off your radar (as they were mine) two years ago, to being a back-up act for Osheaga last year, to getting a wicked afternoon slot this year. I will definitely be there, and I sincerely hope you guys are too - as Jay says during the show, he wants to prove you right for betting on their project. As long as my schedule permits, I'd like to record and release two - three more of these artist podcasts. A huge thanks to Evenko/Osheaga for putting me in touch with the artists at this year's festival, and also to you guys and gals for continuing to support the show.
