Great Lake Swimmers Interview
This interview was originally played on CKCU FM 93.1 in Ottawa on the June 23rd edition of the Tuesday Morning Special Blend which airs every Tuesday morning from 7-9am. It was originally posted on the shows website which can be found here.
The new album, Lost Channels, by The Great Lake Swimmers was one of ten albums included on the short list for the 2009 version of the Polaris Music Prize. On June 19th they played a show in Ottawa at First Baptist Church located at the corner of Elgin and Laurier. Prior to the show I spoke with the lead singer and songwriter for the band, Tony Dekker. The interview can be found below. In the interview we talk about a cover version the band did of Neil Young and Crazy Horse's song "Don't Cry No Tears". I have included videos of both songs below.
Listen to the interview.
At the end of the interview I throw to the song "I will never see the sun" from the band's self-titled debut album. Since this isn't live radio you can hear the song by clicking here.
