Once On Much – Ep02 Econoline Crush

Posted on by Posted in Once On Much

Episode 02 – Econoline Crush

In this episode, I sit down with Trevor Hurst, the unmistakable voice of Econoline Crush, to revisit the electric landscape of late-’90s and early-2000s Canadian rock. Trevor reflects on a moment when MuchMusic helped build a true star system at home, giving Canadian bands space to break through in a meaningful way. From the heavier West Coast energy that shaped Econoline Crush’s identity to the challenges of experimenting with sampling and electronics before the industry was ready for it, he paints a vivid portrait of a band carving out its own lane—often against the grain. We also dig into the unlikely rise of You Don’t Know What It’s Like, the song that almost wasn’t, until a detour through the U.S. and a recording session with Bob Rock turned it into one of the most memorable tracks of its era.

Trevor also opens up about the turning points that made the ride unforgettable—from the surreal night Econoline Crush stepped into Celine Dion’s slot at the Juno Awards to backstage moments that confirmed they’d truly arrived. Today, he balances life as a musician with his work as a psychiatric nurse, but music remains his anchor. Our conversation closes with a powerful look at why he still believes in the magic of music—its ability to ground us, connect us, and remind us to tell the people we love that we love them. It’s a raw, generous, and passionate conversation with one of Canada’s most enduring rock voices.

Once On Much – Ep01 Hawksley Workman

Posted on by Posted in Once On Much

Episode 01 – Hawksley Workman

In this episode, I sit down with the inimitable artist, Hawksley Workman, to explore his genre-defying career, the legendary days of MuchMusic, and what it was like creating his early, influential records. He opens up about the invigorating energy of the late ’90s and early 2000s Canadian music scene, a time when MuchMusic served as a vital “lifeline” and cultural director, creating a star system that no longer exists, and shares profound insights on being an artist who’s always trusted his “unedited self”, the importance of being both entrepreneurial and fiercely unique, and how he learned to embrace his own earnestness in a world of cool.

Tune in to hear how Hawksley Workman’s plan-A-only mentality and belief in creativity as his ultimate salvation have sustained a career that continues to risk and move in the right direction.
