A Podcast Conversation With ...Dustin Bird

By Bill King

Rising Canadian country artist and Stirling, Ontario native Dustin Bird will be releasing his new single Get Go on September 24. He possesses a strong fan base and over 14K monthly listeners.


On the release, Dustin shares, "To put it simply, Get Go is for the person I haven’t met yet. Instantly, this song spoke to my core, confirming that this profound connection is out there, waiting to be found with you. So, whoever you are, wherever you are, just know that I can’t wait to meet you. We are both going to know it, from the Get Go."

Courtney Love Clarifies Melissa Auf der Maur Gig Talk — ‘No Hole Reunion’

After seeming to tease a comeback by her entire group, Love said she and her former bassist will definitely play "some shows, new songs" together.

Rumors of a full Hole reunion are, apparently, slightly exaggerated. After Courtney Love appeared to tease news of getting her 1990s grunge pop band together for their first performance since a one-off gig in 2012 in a cryptic post on Tuesday (March 3), the frontwoman clarified things on Thursday (March 5).

Popping the speculative balloon, Love explained that the “Malibu” band that has been on hiatus since 2002 is not getting pulled out of mothballs after all, but that she is planning some shows with former bassist Melissa Auf der Maur. The update came in the form of Love commenting in a SPIN magazine Instagram post about the news, in which she wrote “no Hole reunion.”
