First off, I'd like to send a million thank you's to each and every one of you who so generously contributed to CHUO's funding drive efforts over the past 3 weeks!!  I very much appreciate it and take it as a show of love and a boost to continue on with at least another year of "Hopping Fences" for you! xoxoxo

Today, we are speaking with Ian Kelly, a singer-songwriter out of Montreal with 4 albums under his belt.  The latest was just released and is called, All These Lines.  He will be performing at the Shenkman Arts Center in Orleans tonight.  Catch him on Hop The Fence at 5 pm.

Tune in at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or on-line at www.CHUO.fm.

Alvvays: This up-and-coming quintet hailing from various parts of the East Coast is fronted by Molly Rankin -- yes, of the great Canadian Rankin Family! But don't let that steer you in the wrong direction. Molly is representing her own generation with aplomb. Snare drums and the usual rock paraphernalia are combined to form upbeat indie-pop tunes.  Alvvays are in at Zaphods on Friday night. Meet them here on HTF first!

Lindsay May: Life is too short to be occupying our days doing work we don't really enjoy. We all know it, but few of us get hit hard square between the eyes to truly come to this realization. After losing loved-ones a few years ago, Lindsay decided to leave corporate life and delve head-first into her songwriting and performing career. Wielding acoustic guitar and mandolin, Lindsay will be in Ottawa on March 13 at The Daily Grind to present her latest work, Girl with Grit.

Tune in on 89.1 FM in Ottawa at 5 pm every Friday.  You can also listen on-line at www.CHUO.fm or find us on iTunes under college radio.
