50. Owen Riegling ~ From The Heart (+ Listowel Paddyfest)
I have memories of Listowel Paddyfest that go back to the early 90’s but of course it’s been around a lot longer than that.
Here’s one of those memories! I call this group the “Dream Team” because together we achieved some pretty fun and amazing things in the 90’s on what was then, FM102. We were more than work mates, we were friends and we loved doing things together like heading off to Paddyfest!
From left to right: Joe Carter, Rich Griffin, Nancy Griffin, Bill Townsend, Doug Avery …and me 🙂
This week on the podcast, Paddyfest chairman Ben Zavitz tells us just how far back it goes, who started it all and some of the things we can look forward to this year.
One of those things, is a concert with an amazing singer/songwriter out of Mildmay who is currently taking the world by storm with hit songs like: “Love (The Sweater Song) , “Old Dirt Roads” and “Home Less”.
Owen Riegling joins us to talk about growing up in a small town, family, friends, writing/singing from the heart and life on the road.
