On today’s show, we talk to Gerry Young, owner of the Canadian independent record label and managament company, Current Records. Gerry’s journey in the music business started as a promoter when he hired master bluesman Johnny Winter and legendary rockers The Kinks to play his university. Later hired by iconic record label Polygram, he acted as Promotions Manager and A&R consultant, and became the Candian liason for such monster acts as Frank Zappa, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, and the BeeGees. Under his own label, Current Records, he signed two Juno-award winning artists: Martha & the Muffins and The Parachute Club. He also signed Vancouver’s Strange Advance, Molly Johnson and Alta Moda, and Boomtown Rats guitarist Gerry Cott. |
Gerry Young also manages several Canadian artists, authored his memoir, Pop Goes The Weasel: Rock And Roll Off The Record, and he writes for Toronto’s Spill Magazine. On today’s show, he makes a case for why Frank Zappa and The Kinks are the essence of cool.FB: https://www.facebook.com/currentrecords |
