The Roark Mix

Recently, we had a chance to sit down with a good friend of Chris - Stephen Bulger. Stephen Bulger - who has curated successful photography exhibitions for nearly 25 years, opened his own gallery in 1995. Now the go-to destination for photography in Canada, the Stephen Bulger Gallery in Toronto hosts approximately 10 exhibitions per year, as well as participating in international art fairs, maintaining an inventory of some 15,000 photographs, and representing many leading photographers and important estates.

Travis sat down with Chris and Brad to talk about what music he was listening to at the different stages of his life. Australian born.  Lived in Canada and currently living in America.  A family man who is heavily involved in sport as well as charitable causes. On top of this, he is heavily involved in Supersapiens.

We had Elizabeth Inpyn on the show to talk about how music has been a big part of her life.  Growing up, swimming competitively as a NCAA Swimmer at UCSB, competing at a high level in Olympic as well as 70.3 distance triathlon,  and coaching her clients. The second half of this show is Chris and Brad talking about the music that they selected in the making of the Elizabeth Inpyn Mix Tape for The Roark Mix.

We sat down with one of Canada’s funniest women in showbiz to talk how music is a part of her life. We even talked about Chuckie Cheese, forklifts at Petco, and Elton John’s strong hands. There was also some chit chat about all of the talent that was involved in the Jazzagals of Schitt’s Creek. At the end, we made her a Mix Tape based on many of the things we talked about with her during our chat.

We talk to the wonderful Tyler Quarles about how music has been a constant part of his life.  Early on he had many influences whilst working in his family's board shop in Vancouver, BC and then as a skateboarder and attending shows with that association.  Later, he played in bands and did some DJing and in his present life as founder and co-owner of Baro Drywear, music still plays a big part.

We had the great opportunity to sit down with Melissa Tancredi to talk many things music - from the early years to present day.  What she grew up with, what gets her pumped up, what takes her back to amazing moments in her life, and who she would pay any amount of money to see in concert. After this chat, Chris and Brad get to work on making the Mix Tape that Melissa requested - a Patio Mix Tape.

WE talk life and music with John and More Taylor.  A lot of this revolved around the 80s and we then presented our Mix Tape based on this conversation.

Our friend Jock Climie joined us for the second episode of The Roark Mix.   Super talented and interesting guy who has a passion for music and a talent for telling stories.  This was no one trick pony conversation as we went from Beatles and Bob Dylan to Spoon to a smattering of disco near the end.   After the dust settled on the chat between the three of us, Chris and Brad talk about their selections for the upbeat Mix Tape that we made for Jock.

The Roark Mix with our guest Time Faveri.  We talk many things music with Tim - influences, likes, associations, etc.  After this chat the cohosts Brad and Chris have a followup discussion based on the musical selections we have made as we prepared a playlist for Tim based on the chat amongst the three of us.
