Listen "Episode 45 - Kevin Hearn and Hugh Marsh talk about the decade that influenced their new album Dreaming Of The 80's"
Episode Synopsis
After joining the Barenaked Ladies in 1995, Kevin Hearn has released innovative solo records and collaborated with everyone from Ron Sexsmith and Mary Margaret O’Hara to The Violent Femmes and Lou Reed, for whom Hearn acted as a musical director and keyboardist from 2007 until his passing in 2013. Hearn was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018 as part of Barenaked Ladies.
Canadian violinist Hugh Marsh began playing music professionally in the late 70s. Although he began playing Jazz, he branched off by joining Bruce Cockburn’s band in 1979. Marsh was a founding member of the band Nick Buzz. But, throughout his distinguished career, he has also played with Loreena McKinnett, Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, Robert Palmer, Hans Zimmer, and most recently, the Rheostatics.
These pillars of Canadian music have released Dreaming of the Eighties, a celebration of a decade that we either love or hate. After listening to Hugh and Kevin's record, I think you'll agree that they have tapped into that love!
