SecondHand Dreamcar - Dana, Harry, Jamie

Nine musicians, one massive sound, and absolutely no plans for synchronized choreography!
Terry sits down with Dana Wylie, Harry Gregg, and Jamie Cooper of Edmonton's Juno-nominated nine-piece powerhouse, Secondhand Dreamcar.
Fresh off the release of their sophomore album, *Get Ready*, the band shares the story behind their unlikely beginnings, their explosive live performances, and the chemistry that makes nine accomplished musicians sound like one.
From recording live off the floor to navigating egos, crowded stages, and the realities of making a living in music, the conversation explores what makes this band tick.
They also discuss their Juno nomination, musical influences, upcoming Canadian tour dates, dreams of playing Europe, and why opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band would be the ultimate gig.
It's an entertaining, candid conversation about musical passion, collaboration, and finding something special when you least expect it.
