We caught up with Clyde Wray, the legendary poet, playwright, and voice of Strange Grooves, to hear what he’s been up to, his thoughts on life, and stories from his decades-long creative journey.

We went to Bangor, Maine, for one reason: Bob Dylan. But the Outlaw Country Music Festival gave us a hell of a lot more: Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, and a venue that actually knows how to treat its people right.

This week on Strange Grooves, we’re taking a detour down a fuzz-covered highway into the roaring world of The Orchids — a punk/stoner rock duo out of Truro, Nova Scotia, who prove that loud doesn’t need numbers, it needs nerve.

In this episode of Strange Grooves, We have coffee and skate in Uptown Saint John with Liam and Mike of Cancer Bats, just ahead of their Area 506 set with none other than Alexisonfire.

This one’s special, folks. We’re beyond excited to welcome our friend—and let’s be honest, one of our all-time favourite artists—Matt Mays back to the show… but this time, in-person at the Strange Grooves studio!

Ahead of their electric set at Area 506, we sat down with 3/4 of the lovely humans of Today Junior — a genre-blending powerhouse weaving together electronic, R&B, and emo influences into a sound all their own.

This week, we're joined by Sarah Hellingwerf — the force ( and EMO QUEEN) behind East Coast Emo Night, the event series that’s been uniting scene kids past and present across Atlantic Canada!

In this episode, we catch up with Poets & Liars — a powerhouse rock trio hailing from all corners of New Brunswick.

We're back with another episode, and this one's flying high. In Vol.173, we catch up with Red Cardinal, one of the East Coast's freshest, emerging rock bands, and trust us, you're gonna want to hear this.

Every year, we hit the Cavendish Beach Music Festival with one goal: good music, good vibes, and maybe, just maybe, scoring a killer interview. This year, Strange Crew, we manifested it. We landed a chat with Cape Breton legends and hosts of Shoot'n The Shit — Tracy and Martina!

Vol 171: Cavendish Beach Music Festival: A Chat with Ben Murphy

On this episode, we dive into Norter’s latest release, The Yearbook Club—a standout EP that showcases the band’s evolution in sound and songwriting. Declan shares the stories behind the music, the creative process, and how it felt to finally get these tracks out into the world.

What’s up, Strange Grooves listeners and watchers! This time, we hit the road (or as we like to call it, Strange Grooves on the Move) and landed in the vibrant city of Halifax.

Thrilled to bring you this interview with Linda Pelletier – a true icon in the music world. If you’ve ever stepped foot in the East Coast music scene, you’ve probably heard Linda’s name and felt the impact of her tireless work.

Strange Crew, We got a holiday exclusive for ya! We got to go to Trillium House Studios with Paul Milner to get a behind the scenes scoop on an  wicked cool recording session and interview with award winning singer songwriter Andrew Clarke.

At Strange Grooves, we love celebrating the iconic moments and people that shaped music culture—and when we had the chance to interview Rick Campanelli, one of MuchMusic’s original VJs, we were beyond excited! 

It’s not every day that Strange Grooves gets to sit down with a Canadian icon like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys, but guess what? We just did!
