MOAM Podcast 19: Scott Cooke, AKA
|
What do Nickelback, Florida-Georgia Line and Dallas Smith all have in common? They've all worked with this week's guest.
That's right - I've got one of the guys behind Nickelback on the show! DO YOUR WORST INTERNET!!! Actually, he's a pretty good guy. Scott Cooke took his dream of being a musician to the next level, lending his skills as a producer to some of the biggest acts in music today. In addition to playing bass on the road with Dallas, you'll often find Scott working backstage on his computer, mixing and tweaking new music from some of the biggest stars in music today! Plus, he REALLY loves his garden. This is a tremendously fun conversation with a good buddy - I hope you enjoy getting to know Scotty Chops! CLICK HERE FOR THE DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK |
MOAM Podcast 18: Jojo Mason/Dan Swinimer |
Music is often an escape for us. Whether it's playing your favorite song, or even learning to perform it yourself, we all have a way that music makes us feel.
For JoJo Mason, music found him at a dark time in his life. This week, you'll meet a man who after having to let a dream go, found himself wondering what was next. If not for a chance encounter at a Christmas Party he really didn't want to go to, we may have never got to know him - which I think you'll agree would be a huge shame. I made a new friend during this interview, and for anybody needing a little motivation or inspiration, you NEED to meet JoJo for yourself. |
MOAM Podcast 17: Petric and The Aerosmith Saga |
Brothers Jay and Tom have a bit of an unlikely story when it comes to forming their band, "Petric". Coming out of Manitoba, you'll meet a pair of brothers who while both musical, took very different approaches to their musical career.
That path led them to DALLAS SMITH, who in addition to taking the boys under his wing, is contributing to their success in other ways. Sit back and meet the boys and get treated to a few acoustic tracks, including the coolest version of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" I've ever heard! Also, it was a nice week off, and it was capped with some tickets to see Aerosmith - something I have tried NUMEROUS times to do in the past... a brief history of Mike vs Actually Seeing and Aerosmith Concert!

MOAM Podcast 16: WWE Hall of Famer, Bushwhacker Luke |
In the late 1980’s/early 1990’s, The Bushwhackers were one of the most popular parts of WWE. Although they never held a Tag Team championship, their popularity with the fans was epic. From imitating their unique walk, to even letting these crazy men from New Zealand LICK them, pro wrestling audiences were captivated by this unique duo.
Nowadays, “Cousin Luke”, one half of the Bushwhackers, continues to wrestle at 68, looking pretty much as good as he did back in the day. The man behind the Bushwhacker is an amazing individual full of stories and wrestling history. Most inspiring is what keeps him on the road, taking wrestling bookings all over the world, as he celebrates over 50 years doing what he loves. CLICK HERE FOR THE DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK |
MOAM Podcast 15: David James |
Sometimes strangers can just click, and I feel that was the case when I got to sit down with new country star David James. A prairie kid, we sat down and talked about all sorts of things, including music being in his family, and a love of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
David's first single, "What We Weren't Looking For" is on iTunes, but he brought his guitar so we go through that and much more this week! Also, thoughts on Awards, money, and an amazing letter from a listener. This week's episode is also available for download on iTunes and Stitcher Radio! CLICK HERE FOR THE DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK |
One of the biggest acts to emerge from Canada in the 1990's, The Wilkinsons set records and became globally recognized - with two of the band members not even hitting their 20's.
Now, with father Steve still working with them and cheering them on behind the scenes, Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson have emerged into their own spotlight as Small Town Pistols. We've shared a special friendship over the years, and during our chat we talk about that and a LOT more in this week's podcast! We talk about new babies, Brad Pitt movies, social awkwardness, personal space, Bat-Nipples and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! It's a lot of fun, so sit back and enjoy! Mike on a Monday is always free, and available on iTunes, Stitcher Radio and on Podbean. |

With hits like "Get By", "Buzz, Buzz, Buzzin" and "Hell Raisin' Good Time", Tim solidified himself as a contender in the world of Canadian Country Music. Going into the Canadian Country Music Awards in September with some nods, we manage to barely talk about that or his new album, "5:01", which hits stores in August. We DO find out a LOT about Tim... everything from Giggin' to Golden Girls, this is a super-fun conversation with a guy who has seen and done it all when it comes to being a "working musician", and still has a huge future ahead of him.
