Something for Nothing: A RUSH Fancast

Our third straight year recording live from Henderson Brewing's Rush Day in Toronto was a great success! This episode we talk to Rush fans from around the world about seeing the band for the first of 4 sold-out shows at the Scotiabank Arena the night before. We're also joined by CFNY's Ivar Hamilton and perennial guest Ray Wawrzyniak, who returns to stump us on Rush trivia!

Friend of the podcast David Calcano of Fantoons returns this week to tell us about his involvement in the 50 Something tour. I won't spoil it in the description in case you're still avoiding the setlists, but suffice to say Fantoons made a real cool video for a classic Rush tune!

This week, we talk with Kevin Comeau, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist of the Canadian progressive rock duo Crown Lands. Kevin and his bandmate, drummer and singer Cody Bowles, are unabashed Rush devotees, a fact reflected in their ambitious multipart epics. Join us as Kevin discusses the best way to learn Rush songs, working with his musical heroes on their new tour, and Crown Lands latest album, Apocalypse.

Rush is back! Kicking off the Fifty Something tour with 4 shows at the Los Angeles Forum, Rush ripped through a different set each night. Our LA correspondent, Mark Irwin, went to all 4 shows and delivers his report. Plus, the results of our setlist contest!
