Going solo with Steve Hill

There are just some things that need to be seen as well as heard. Steve Hill's one-man-band act is one of these.  Hill performs standing up while singing and playing guitar, his feet playing bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar, any other percussion within reach!

His solo act may have started out for economical reasons with his Volume One album four years ago, but through time, he has developed an impressive expertise handling multiple instruments at once.  He is in Ottawa this weekend (at the Shenkman Center in Orleans) to perform songs from his latest, Solo Recordings Volume Three.  Expect guitar-based bluesy rock'n'roll.  I look forward to chatting with him on air at 5 pm today.

Also on tonight's program, Jenna Glatt. Raised in Ottawa, Jenna began singing when she was very young, winning her first competition at age 8 which was followed by her first professional gig a few months later on Parliament Hill as part of the Canada Day Celebrations. Jenna knew from that moment on that this is what she was born to do.  Since then, she has appeared at many international music festivals and venues and has been collaborating with top level producers and songwriters in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, Toronto, and Copenhagen.

Jenna's third album (R&B/Pop) of all original music is currently getting world-wide airplay in Canada, the US, and across Europe. She will be at The Blacksheep Inn on Sunday at 4 pm.

Tune in 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.

Marching with the blues

PictureAlan Marsden and TJ Wheeler
Since 1990, TJ Wheeler has been bringing blues to the schools in the US and across the globe. Inspired by his Hope, Heroes and the Blues program, the Ottawa RBC Bluesfest has been engaging budding musicians through a not-for-profit residency program in local schools for 18 years.  That's how our beloved festival gives back to the community.

This year, more than 20 professional artists/educators are visiting 24 area schools during a 10-day program that will run through to March 11. TJ Wheeler will be part of the artist delegation along with an a-list of local artists.  TJ will be in the CHUO studio this week to regale us with his lore along with Alan Marsden, the Ottawa Blues In Schools program coordinator and artist.

There is a lot going on in town over the next few days. It's one of the busiest weekends of the year so far. Must be due to the longer days. (Have you noticed? I have!)  I will do my best to spin most of the following:
  • Winchester Warm with Eamon McGrath and Lake Forest (Pressed Cafe, March 4)
  • The Jivewires with Blast From The Sun (at Live on Elgin, March 4)
  • David Francey (at NAC, March 4)
  • Radio Radio with Alex Silas and the Subterraneans (at Ritual March 4)
  • Amos The Transparent with Lost Cousin (at The Blacksheep, March 5)
  • Charlotte Cornfield (at Pressed, March 5)
  • Moonfruits (at The Branch, March 10)

Tune in 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.
