EP 313 | Exclusive Interview with The Grapes of Wrath

Kevin Kane and The Hooper Brothers  Chris and Tommy have been an original Canadian band for over 40 years. The Grapes of Wrath. Same three guys. Still making music. This podcast is their first complete band interview in over 10 years. Like many, I had presumed that the guys had moved on to solo efforts or other bands or other dreams. When I saw that they were playing and selling out The Carleton in Halifax I started to dig and found – amazed – that they were in fact playing the Filberg Festival in Comox, Vancouver Island  Aug 3. Also Edmonton, The Maritimes, Vernon and  The Dream Café in Penticton. Bringing with them songs containing people's memories, whole lifetimes.   Peace of Mind You may be right These days And the still brilliant… All the thing's I wasn't.   Platinum records, multiple tours of Canada, the USA and Europe. In 1992 they went separate ways only to rediscover the power of their friendship and music in 2010 at a festival in Surrey, BC. The same three guys…Let's celebrate The Grapes of Wrath. Enjoy the stories and the music.   Tour Dates: www.grapesofwrath.ca
