I first met Charles Spearin on an Adventure Canada voyage into the Northwest Passage.
With his trademark moustache, he might have been mistaken for one of the early explorers who bumbled into that fabled place.
But the opposite is the case. If Charles is an explorer, the heart is his landscape–and his musical journeys pure mindfulness.
A musical veteran with Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think, and Feist, Charles has a reputation as a musician’s musician.
That was very much in evidence in this conversation about his new album, My City of Starlings.
