Interview

Born and raised in St Johns NL, and now based in Campbellford ON, Ken Tizzard actually started out in music as a bassist, and had a long career playing bass with Canadian rock bands The Watchmen and Thornley before setting out on a folk music career.

The roots of the A Good Dog Is Lost project actually date back to November 2013, when Ron Hynes asked Ken to accompany him on bass for a 12-date duo tour of Newfoundland and Labrador. After Ron’s death, as part of the grieving process, Ken Tizzard created an acclaimed one-man show, Hynesight, that was performed at the Westben Arts Festival Theatre in Campbellford.

The new album is a natural progression from those performances, and features eleven Ron Hynes songs with support from Ken Tizzard’s regular bassist Ken Grant, drummer Steve Dagg, multi-instrumentalist Luke Mercier (fiddle, banjo, mandolin), and guitarist Ken Kelly; with cameos from Ron Hynes sideman Paul Kinsman (accordion) with backing vocals from Amelia Curran and Ken’s daughters Caitlyn and Cassidy Tizzard.

That’s all we have time for, this time around. Thanks to all the artists who share their music with us, and thank you for listening. We have a lot of great music and interviews to bring you on future shows. I hope you’ll join us!
