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.

27 - Andy Maize & Aaron Comeau: Captains of Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From the Skydiggers universe comes a new project.
Inspired by their setting on Prince Edward Island and inspired by the world events of the day, Andy Maize and Skydiggers guitarist Aaron Comeau have created a new collection of songs that is both ambitious and contemplative. Songs that rouse the spirit and house moments of melancholy and peace.
They are Captains of Everything. The album is Avast and Belay!
Even with its' fiery nautical title, Avast and Belay is not so much a project about the sea, but about the infinite possibilities that the canvas of the sea provides.
With all songs written together by Maize and Comeau, and with all instruments performed by Comeau, Avast and Belay becomes a document of the rare magic that an environment of true collaboration and trust can create.
When these two unique musical voices merge, a new sound is made.
Special Edition Avast and Belay 12" vinyl + 30-page booklet: available on Bandcamp
All the music in this episode is from Avast and Belay, by Captains of Everything. Available wherever you enjoy music.
