   The Sheepdogs Interview: Vinyl, Rock ’n’ Roll & Life

   The Sheepdogs join Strange Grooves for a rock ’n’ roll conversation about vinyl, musical influences, life on the road, and their new album, Keep Out of the Storm. For Episode 201, Cait and Cherise sit down with Ryan and Ewan of The Sheepdogs at the Imperial Theatre in Saint John, New Brunswick, for a full-circle moment nearly 20 years in the making. We're talking records, early influences, favourite singers, the albums that changed how they hear music, and the feeling of finally finding that record you've been searching for. We also get into the band's early days, building a sustainable career in music, touring, life changes, and what it takes to keep making records and bringing them to the people. Plus, we introduce the guys to Street Ballet by beloved Canadian songwriter Ken Tobias, share the story behind that connection, and get our hands on an unreleased copy of Coming and Going on vinyl. This is what Strange Grooves is all about: connecting over music, sharing records, telling stories, and celebrating the people who make it all happen. 🎸 LISTEN TO THE SHEEPDOGSOfficial website: https://thesheepdogs.com/ (https://thesheepdogs.com/) 💿 NEW ALBUM: KEEP OUT OF THE STORMListen to the new album through The Sheepdogs' official music page: https://thesheepdogs.com/music/ (https://thesheepdogs.com/music/) 📀 PREORDER COMING AND GOING ON VINYLVisit The Sheepdogs' official store: https://store.thesheepdogs.com/collections/music (https://store.thesheepdogs.com/collections/music) 🎧 KEEP IT STRANGESubscribe for more conversations about music, vinyl, rock ’n’ roll, and the stories behind the records.

   Episode 200: It Takes a strange crew

   200 EPISODES! NINE YEARS! WHAT A RIDE! What started as two music-loving buds bonding over record collections, The Stampeders, and a shared obsession with rock 'n' roll has turned into something bigger than we ever imagined. For our 200th episode, we're taking a trip down memory lane, looking back at how Strange Grooves began, the incredible people we've met, the bands we've discovered, and the adventures we've had along the way. From hosting live bands in our apartment to travelling the world, making lifelong friendships, and navigating some of life's toughest moments, music has been the thread connecting it all. We're talking about what Strange Grooves has meant to us over the past nine years, why community and connection matter more than ever, and what's next for this wonderfully weird little thing we've built together. And speaking of what's next... we've got some BIG news! New events, new merch, and Strange Grooves is officially hitting the airwaves with Strange Grooves on Air on Saint John's 107.3 Campus Radio! To everyone who's listened, shared an episode, come to a show, introduced us to a band, or joined us for the ride, THANK YOU. You're the reason we're still here, and we're just getting started. Here's to 200 episodes, nine years of friendship, and many more strange adventures ahead. KEEP IT STRANGE! Cait & Cherise

   Strange Grooves x Radical Fabulatorium: Music, Creativity & Community

   For Episode 199, we’re crossing the streams with Jai, host of Radical Fabulatorium (https://www.facebook.com/theradfab)on Local 107.3 FM, for a special collaboration all about music, creativity and the communities that keep both alive. We chat about Jai’s journey from playing bass and promoting local shows to interviewing artists on the radio, and swap notes on what makes a great interview. How much research is too much? How do you get out of your own way creatively? And at what point do you stop overthinking and just make the damn thing? We also get into the bigger role music plays in our lives and communities, from creating connection and combating isolation to the incredible sense of pride surrounding New Brunswick’s Francophone and Acadian music scenes. Plus, it wouldn’t be Strange Grooves without some music recommendations. Jai throws Rolo Tomasi into the mix, we talk Turnstile, and there are a few more discoveries worth adding to your listening queue. Two Local 107.3 shows, one shared love of music, and just over 30 minutes of geeking out about why we keep making, listening and showing up. PS: Stay tuned for more strange things we have in the works with Local 107.3! 👀
