Anna sits down with Aleks Jurcev — frontman of Burlington’s own The Regulars — for a conversation that’s full of heart, humour, and unexpected depth. They talk about songwriting, local stages, creative intuition, and carving your own path through the noise. And to close things out - A rare treat — the first-ever live performance of Aleks’s brand new song, Highlands. Honest, quirky, and quietly profound, this one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like the “regular” road just didn’t quite fit.

Paul Kennedy has been a staple of the Burlington music scene for decades — a guitarist, a frontman, and the driving force behind The Joe Rockhead Band. In this episode, host Anna Blair sits down with Paul to talk about what it takes to keep a band thriving, the highs of playing live, and the deeper heart behind the hardheaded rock persona. We get into the joys and challenges of fronting a cover band, the stories behind those unforgettable Saturday night sets, and what keeps Paul posting ads, booking shows, and holding it all together after all these years.

While visiting Alberta — surrounded by wide skies, winding roads, and new memories with her sister — Anna gets the call that her Aunt Diane had passed. This episode is a soft moment of remembering. A reflection on the women who raise us, loved us, and are no longer here. It’s about grief, legacy, and the threads that hold even when they feel like they’ve come undone. If you’re carrying the names of loved ones lost in your heart today, let this one wrap gently around you.
