Each episode features one of the new songs paired with another song from the band's catalogue, performed acoustically by Andy and Josh in the welcoming confines of the Woodshed recording studio in Toronto, ON.
Season 3: Community
This season highlights the vibrant and rich friendships and collaborations that have developed over the band's 30+ years of playing music.

2 - Hide Your Light: "My City is Gone"
"Bit by bit, brick by brick, My city is gone..."
Josh and Andy discuss the changes that have occurred in Toronto over the years and also touch upon Josh's time in London during the early '80s.
In addition to the interview, you'll also hear Andy and Josh perform two songs: "Desmond's Hip City” (Desmond's Hip City, 1997), and "My City is Gone" (Hide Your Light, 2023). Both tracks are recorded by Tim Vesely, live-off-the-floor at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto.
