SCM chat with Brennagh Burns Lydia Stephen and Liam from Floating Mansions, March 11, 2026

We had a chat about an upcoming event featuring Brenna Burns, Lydia Steven, and Liam from Floating Mansions at Lukaya Cafe on March 27th. We get the skinny on how they are all connected, with Brenna hosting Lydia at open mics at Lucia Cafe and Liam connecting with Lydia through a songwriting group called Shaky Knees. Lydia shared her experience working with the band Kasador, including recording backup vocals and writing for their EP, which was featured on Hockey Night in Canada. She described a memorable moment when the band recognized their song playing on TV during a hockey game. Lydia expressed gratitude for the opportunity and mentioned performing live with the band in St. Catharines and Guelph.

Liam backtracks for us the start of Floating Mansions and the current lineup, with the first meeting of Lydia at a show. He explains the venturing into recording at home and the current lineup shaping the sound of the band.

Brennagh provides an update on the new material, the evolution of the subject matter of the songs, and the challenges of finding time to record.

I can see all three of these artists doing more shows together this year!
