๐ 100 Episodes of Jam Sessions! ๐
Big congrats to Jeph Balesdent and the Jam Sessions Podcast crew for hitting Episode 100 and wrapping up Season 3. Thatโs a milestone worth celebrating! ๐ฅณ
Sounds like Jeph will be back with a new co-host for Season 4 soon ๐ Stay tuned!
As I looked back to my early days co-hosting with Jeph, I found this old โletter from summer campโ promo we made โ had to dust it off and share. ๐ฌ Itโs wild to reflect on how much everyone has grown since then.
๐๏ธ Fun fact: My first ever podcast interview was with Andre Pettipas, and now heโs everywhere. Whether solo or with the full Giants lineup, Andre is performing nearly every night and building serious anticipation for Giantstock III, happening Labour Day Weekend.
๐ถ Music. Camping. Wrestling. Letโs go.
๐ Meanwhile, Mike Hatfield โ the โMโ in JAM and original co-host โ now throws his own annual birthday bash music fest, returning Aug 22โ23, 2025.
๐ค On my end, Iโm hosting two more shows in the Trenton Park Songwriter Series, curated by East Coast DNA in collaboration with Creative Pictou County and The Town of Trenton, and sponsored in part by Express Yourself Cafรฉ, found in the train caboose on Main Street, downtown Trenton, NS:
๐๏ธ July 30
Kelsey Erskine โข Katie MacIntosh โข Cory Mercer
๐๏ธ August 13
Andre Pettipas โข Leah & Kyle Samson
(Giantstock preview vibes ๐ฅ)
And for Pictou County music fans, near or far:
๐ฅ The late night stage returns to The Jube 2025, Aug 1โ3
Presented by Andre Pettipas, Giantstock, and Wranglers, sponsored by Coldstream Clear, in collaboration with East Coast DNA.
So many great festivals. One county. Endless music. ๐ถ
Catch us at Wranglerโs after the headliners!
