GGRM June 2, 2023 w/ SAMWOY

Oncle Ian returns from Ontario where he attended his sister-in-law and new brother-in-law’s wedding (Congratulations Raylene and John!) to join Prince Palu and bring a first hour filled to the brim with #RadioMagic! New music from Blonde Redhead, Will Sprott, Bong Wish, Good Looking Son, The Adam Brown, Babe Rainbow, Guided By Voices, Hiss Golden Messenger, Population II, bar italia, and Wireheads.

In the second hour, Samuel Woywitka, aka SAMWOY, returns to the show, and for the first time live in-studio, to talk about his debut solo album, Awkward Party. It is always fun to catch up with Sam and peel back the layers of his creative process. The album is not only an excellent sounding artifact of his musical vision, it is also a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with trauma. Sam explains the tragic events that inspired the music, but also the cathartic power of transforming that pain into art and the need to have an outlet to confront trauma. Thank you again to Sam for trekking all the way out to share his story with us.

The album launch party goes down at L’Escogriffe on June 14 with Sunglaciers and Empty Nesters. Grab your ticket here
