Volume 24: Supporting Local Art With Barb Crawford

On this week’s episode of Strange Grooves, we’re joined by the amazing Barb Crawford!

Barb has been a long-time supporter of the Saint John music and arts scene (including being a Strange Grooves patron, THANK YOU!) and is also an avid record collector. Barb is someone we both really learn a lot from and we’re so excited when she agreed to book some time with us for this interview.

We start by chatting with Barb about her involvement in the city’s music arts community over the years and how it has shifted from giving her time, to giving her money. We talk about the importance of all age venues and other members of the community who are working to create cool things for everyone to enjoy.

Barb shares some of the shows she’s looking forward to this summer, and then we dive into some of her favourite records. You’ll hear about Land of Talk, Spoon, The Constantines, The National, Wolf Parade, Gord Downie and more.

Hopes for a Saint John, “Rumours” appreciation night, and so much more on this episode of Strange Grooves!
