Paul Mills is known in the Canadian roots music scene as a musician, songwriter, producer, co-founder of Borealis Records and as a former sideman of Stan Rogers.  He often performs under the name of Curly Boy Stubbs.  We met at the booth of guitar maker, Ron Belanger at the Mariposa Folk Festival.  You can hear the sounds of the  festival around us as Paul shares some stories from his long career as a producer, and we discuss songwriting, and the role of the producer in the recording process.

4tsots with Sue Passmore [ 26:14 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (18628)

Sue Passmore is the second member of the Good Lovelies that I have been able to interview for my podcast. We found a semi quiet spot in the woods during a break in the rain at the  Eaglewood Folk Festival to sit down and talk songwriting. I interviewed her bandmate, Caroline Brooks over a year ago.  It has been an interesting exercise to talk to different members of the same band about songwriting.  This summer,  I’ll be looking for Kerry Ough at festivals to complete the set.
