Andy Maize & Josh Finlayson - Skydiggers!

Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson are the founders of Toronto’s much-loved roots rock band, Skydiggers. In this conversation, they offer up insight gained over a successful 35+ year career, one fuelled by hard work, passion, creativity, love, and good humour.
 
Andy and Josh discuss the art of songwriting, the secrets to surviving on the road and staying focused on stage, and how recording their upcoming album (with friend and collaborator Joby Baker) often felt like "rock 'n roll fantasy camp".
