What happens when nine accomplished musicians come together to form a single band? You get Secondhand Dreamcar—a powerhouse collective blending funk, soul, folk, and roots into a sound that’s as big as it is intentional.

In this conversation, we dive into the band’s origin story, from a casual jam session to becoming a “superband.” We explore the meaning behind their name, how they balance nine unique musical histories, and what it takes to write and create as a large ensemble without losing individuality.

The band reflects on the making of their debut album, Answer the Call—from the residency that shaped it, to the recognition it received as one of CKUA’s Top 100 Albums of 2024. They share how the energy of their live shows transforms the music, the joys and challenges of collaboration, and what they hope future listeners will take away from this era of their lives.

If you’ve ever wondered how a collective this large finds harmony—both musically and personally—this episode offers a rare look inside one of Canada’s most exciting new projects.
