• Menno Versteeg of Hollerado on LIR

  In this electric episode, Hollerado’s unstoppable frontman Menno Versteeg pulls up a chair and rewinds to the record that changed everything: 111 Songs for the Broken Hearted, the surprise 2024 reunion album that brought the band back from “indefinite hiatus” and instantly sold out every Canadian club date the second it was announced. A full-blown comeback, plus a recap of Demo in a bag with its production schedule.

• Adam Baldwin on LIR

  While still on a cross-Canada tour with Blue Rodeo, Nova Scotia’s own Adam Baldwin makes a triumphant return to the podcast. The guys dive into the magic (and occasional chaos) of opening for one of Canada’s most legendary bands, the upcoming headline dates Adam has lined up, and why sharing the stage with Blue Rodeo still feels surreal after all these years.Adam gets real about how constant travel has shifted his perspective on everything from songwriting to small-town life, and why the road remains the best education a musician can get. Of course, no Baldwin episode would be complete without some candid talk about social media: Adam explains why TikTok has become a no-go zone for him, and how he’s happily retreated to more old-man platforms.Official Website: adambaldwin.caFacebook: @adambaldwinmusicInstagram: @adambaldwinmusic (inferred from posts and standard handles)YouTube: @adambaldwinmusicSpotify: Adam BaldwinTikTok: Not actively used (as mentioned in recent podcast appearances, he avoids it as an unsafe space) Adam Baldwin Tour Dates (2025-2026)Adam Baldwin is touring extensively in 2025-2026, including headline shows and as a special guest for Blue Rodeo's 40th Anniversary Tour. For tickets, check adambaldwin.ca/tour or the respective platforms.
