Kevin Drew joins host Raina Douris

Kevin Drew went into the studio thinking he was going to make a kids’ music album – but instead, he made the opposite – a collection of songs for grown-ups who are getting older. The album is called Aging, and it deals with uncertainty, fear, and loss with the warmth characteristic of Kevin Drew and his work with Broken Social Scene. Hear him talk about making it and share live versions of the songs on the World Cafe.

Listen to the session here.
