Hello, and welcome to the Radical Fabulatorium.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Canadian country guitarist and songwriter Yvan Petit.

We talk about Yvan’s journey from growing up playing bars in Timmins, Ontario at just 10 years old, to studying audio engineering, becoming one of Ottawa’s busiest gigging musicians, and eventually spending more than two decades on the road with Johnny Reid.

Along the way, we get into Nashville songwriting culture, the realities of touring life, recording techniques, Telecasters, chicken pickin’, the Nashville Number System, and why being a “good hang” matters just as much as talent in the music industry.

We also talk about the Quebec and Francophone music scenes, social media success during the pandemic, instrumental songwriting, and the experiences that come with a lifetime spent making music.

In this episode:

Canadian country guitarist Yvan Petit joins The Radical Fabulatorium to talk Telecasters, chicken pickin’, touring with Johnny Reid, and life as a professional touring musician.
