Amanda Rheaume and Christa Couture

“Aboriginal Juno nominee and Juno Humanitarian Award winner!”  These words were used in a recent press release I received to describe Ottawa’s own Amanda Rheaume. Wow – how she has come a long way! You could call it a real overnight sensation (...about 15 years in the making.) We are very proud of our girl. She has a new single (and video) called Red Dress, which features noted Canadian artist, Chantal Kreviazuk.

Amanda will be at the NAC Fourth Stage on Thursday, May 5 to present her new album, Holding Patterns.
Tune in today to catch our special broadcast with her, live in our CHUO studio.

Christa Couture knows a thing or two about grief. Yet, she always manages to use music to uplift the souls of those who listen. On her latest album, Long Time Leaving, produced by Steve Dawson, Christa offers a truly unique take on the topic thanks in part to a long and complex relationship with grief that’s given her rare insight into its nuances. We’ll be chatting with her tonight and she will be in Ottawa on May 1 st at Live on Elgin.

It’s all happening on your radio airwaves at 5 pm today! Find us at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.
