Sheepdogs Interview
Sunday, May 3rd, 2015 by The Professor
Allie Langly caught up with her favorite band The Sheepdogs over a sadly patchy phone connection… Ewan was great and they got a chance to chat about Canada, music, locations and tours. Unlike when they met in person, Allie was able to talk 😉

Hymn For Her Interview
Saturday, April 25th, 2015 by The Professor
While Hymn For Her were in Frederick for a show at the always fun Cafe Nola, and on tour for their latest release Lucy & Wayne’s Smokin’ Flames, Lucy and Wayne (and Diver) invited the Professor into their van for an interview… We chatted about touring as a family, cigar box guitars, kickstarter, hot sauce and more. Lucy had just received a cool cigar box guitar as a gift from Harry of CrocBite Guitars (full disclosure: it was so cool we got Harry to make one for WLOY) and their daughter Diver was trying to chill in the back of the van, only to be coaxed into saying hi at the end. They put on a fantastic show and we were super-excited to get them to come back to town for Honfest. Catch them wherever you can!
