Episode #8 - B.A. Johnston and Fiver

Pinball Sessions' Podcast

Pinball Sessions are live, off the floor, pressure free recordings by some of Canada and the World's best artists. Recorded in Guelph, ON at the Pinball Studios, full sessions are released twice a week and can be heard and downloaded for free at http://pinballsessions.com. The Pinball Sessions Podcast offers up some of our favourite tracks as well as session room banter, interviews and other goodies unavailable on the Pinball Sessions website. For a 'behind the scenes' look at the making of a session, quirky questions asked to artists, and one of a kind moments be sure to keep an eye on the Pinball Sessions Podcast. THIS EPISODE: From the absurd to the beautiful, today's featured artists are B.A. Johnston and Fiver! B.A. Johnston is a Canadian treasure: a wild performer, a prolific songwriter, and a truly unique musician. His offbeat songs can be crass, but truly charming and loveable. His ode to being a 'Bad Cat Sitter' from his 8th studio album 'Mission Accomplished' is our featured track this week from the 32nd Pinball Session. Before leading into our feature track, we'll hear an interview with Simone Schmidt as she plays the Pinball Studio's 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' pinball machine and talks about pinball and music... Fiver is the latest of many projects by major talent Simone Schmidt. She has been to Pinball Studios once before, heading another band 'The Highest Order' (Session 11). 'Smoke and Steam' comes from her debut EP 'Lost the Plot,' featured on the 33rd Pinball Session.
