Our guest this week is Mitchell MacDonald, a singer-songwriter from the beautiful Garden of Eden in Pictou County. Mitchell got his start playing classic country at kitchen parties with his grandfather, and his love for music has only grown since. Inspired by artists like Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, Zach Bryan, and Tyler Childers, his songs are heartfelt, honest, and rooted in real life. A devoted dad and lifelong storyteller, Mitchell continues to carve his own path—one song at a time.

Beach Babez is a punk band from Pictou County, Nova Scotia who as it would seem have chosen to go with a “z” instead of an “s” in the spelling of their band name. Tasteful. Edgy. Ahead of the curve. That’s Beach Babez with a “Z”, thank you very much. Beach Babez: humble yet sophisticated culmination of a wide range of classic influences spanning between artists such as Cher, Garth Brooks and G.G. Allin.
Move over, New Glasgow based skate punk, there’s new boys in town. Say hello to Nick, 32, and Rob, and say goodbye to Jeff. If any set could sound exactly like hell on earth, it would be Beach Babez’. Allegedly, they're working on new, "good" material, but we’ll believe that when we see it. Until then, experience the torturous sound of Nova Scotia’s least favorite alcoholics, and remember to stop by the merch table to pick up a “I survived a Beach Babez performance and all I got was as this lousy shirt” limited run long sleeve Tee.

“The human rights violations committed by the members of the band “Beach Babez” are not something the international criminal court will be sweeping under the rug any time soon.” - Amnesty International

“32 is in that band, right?” - Rob Long

“I don’t know them, but I know of them” - Nick Rockey
