Graventown
A kindness, positivity, mental health and music-magic-based informal conversational town hall created, authored, and produced by award winning Canadian singer songwriter and ex-journalist Matty McKechnie (known musically as Graven). Whether he has acclaimed or interesting pals, comedians, musicians or artists to interview - or even if it's just a solo-yolo convo that he "sends into the universe", Matty would always want you to know that you - whoever and wherever you are - are ALWAYS welcome in Graventown.

Episode 92: Summer Slowdowner
Hello friends. I'm sending this out to you through channels of pure love and understanding - in these wild times of hate and hurt - and I hope that you're as well as you can be. I've got some summer shows coming but I've been feeling the need to just slow everything down and so I intend to do as such. I'll still be here - and hey - I'm almost at a hundred eppies (what the kids call "episodes") so I need to crack that monumental milestone - but I'm also gonna do some laying low. Some writing. Some creating. Some natureing. Some journaling. I'll see ya where I see ya. Hope you get outside and suck up summer through a straw. You are loved and always welcome in Graventown.
My new album "Geographics" is releasing (on my Bandcamp page only) through late January into late February 2026, and every Monday and Friday of those months, I'll have a new song up for you to digest into your ear canals. This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride. Follow me @gravencanada on all the socials, and check my website to see when I'm playing live in a town near you. Join Graventown today to support yours truly for only 8 clams a month.
