Derry Grehan

I’m honoured to welcome DERRY GREHAN from HONEYMOON SUITE on this week's THE TALK MUSIC podcast. Their music achievements are impressive indeed as they sit amongst the most successful Canadian acts to ever form in this country and they are still going as strong as ever! 

With double and triple platinum albums to their credit, along with a remarkable amount of hit songs that have graced our airwaves for decades, not only here but in the US and other countries as well, Derry and I go deep on this podcast. Our chat includes a close up of their entire career including how the band formed and got signed to Warner Bros by A&R guru Bob Roper, how I ended up producing their debut album and then managing the band, studio chat about them working with producers Bruce Fairborn and Ted Templeton, Derry’s association with GODIN GUITARS resulting in him having his own signature guitar and much more! We also chat about the success of his daughter Leah Marlene who came in 3rd on the most recent American Idol TV show and how he also performed onstage with Katy Perry.
