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 97: Interview w/ Dylan Black
Friends, Countryfolk and city dwellers; lend me your digital devices. Welcome back to another regularly scheduled closed circuit television program called Graventown. I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with an insanely busy Ottawa celebrity, radio and tv broadcaster, comedy advocate, philanthropic community connector and all around lovely dude and dad - Dylan Black. Dylan is someone whose interview path I happily crossed many times on Rogers Daytime TV when promoting a local Ottawa show or an album release. We had a great convo about the changing landscape of journalism and print media, online landmines, music, comedy and all things fatherhood. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you know that you are perpetually 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.
