Episode 41: Django Haskins (The Old Ceremony)

Earthbound is the new album by noir-pop band The Old Ceremony — a collection of beautifully constructed songs, from a band led since its formation in 2004 by singer and multi-instrumentalist Django Haskins. Although it's been nine years since the band's last album, you can be sure that Django, (with his various other projects, teaching and family commitments) hasn't been twiddling his thumbs at any point. We discuss the latest record, Django's songwriting, his many years of performing, influences, meeting Chuck Berry and other tales from a lifetime of music.Closing track: "North American Grain" (Robust Records, 2024)For all things The Old Ceremony and links to Earthbound visit the band’s website www.theoldceremony.comPodcast artwork and logo: https://www.garjk.com/ Intro music: "Detachment" by Tom Osman Check out my new album Real Silence on Drama Recorder Thanks for reading (and listening to) Whatever Comes Next.
