This week on No Simple Road we are super stoked to have returning guest, Ed Durocher from Apollo Suns returning as our guest! Founded by Ed, Apollo Suns is a 9-piece instrumental collective from Winnipeg, Manitoba. The band fuses the influence of jazz, rock, and psychedelic music, to create their own unique sounds with the dance floor in mind. They have self-released three EP's: 'Each Day A Different Sun' (2017), 'Dawn Offerings' (2019), 'A Relationship Of Force' (Color Red, 2021), and were awarded "Instrumental Artist Of The Year" at Western Canadian Music Awards in 2018/2020.
We talk with Ed about:

Some recent struggles regarding burn-out.

Learning to mitigate exhaustion and tactics for better mental health.

The freedom that came from acknowledging that we all struggle sometimes.

How art can come from a place of ease and stability and not just from places of sadness or struggle.

The reality of getting the things you have always dreamed of.

Honoring the moment as it deserves to be honored.

The expansion of 'jam music' into Europe.

A Canadian's perspective when traveling over the border into the US of A.

Creating the soon to be released new album 'Departures'.

... and a ton more!
