Riding Shotgun with Jimmie!

4/26/2013

1 Comment

 
Shotgun Jimmie took to the woods of Manitoba deep in the midst of a Canadian winter to write and record his latest triumphant disc, Everything, everything.  Ever the eternal optimist, the result is an upbeat, happy-go-lucky, roll with the punches-and keep smiling collection of songs.

Everyone loves Jimmie and you will too. He's been busy over the past year or two and has pockets aplenty of stories to share with us. Catch all the fun, tune in to 89.1 fm in Ottawa or on-line at CHUO.fm

PS: we've revamped our website. Be sure to check it out: Hop The Fence

Pinwheel sandwiches for everyone!

4/19/2013

We are going to have a blast in the studio today!  I have 2 bands coming in to chat with us in person!  We have the makings of a party. Maybe I’ll bring some pinwheel sandwiches!

First up: Ottawa’s FEVERS are bringing their electro-synth flavors to The Blacksheep Inn tomorrow night as they prepare to release a new disc in the next few weeks. It follows-up their debut EP, Passion Is Dead, which earned them plenty of fan love in the past year.

Next up:  Erik Lind and the Orchard.  Following the release of their debut EP, Great White North, in September at Zaphod’s and a February visit to the Black Sheep Inn, tonight’s show at Raw Sugar marks their third visit to the National Capital region. Based in Montreal, born in Victoria, raised in Ottawa, Erik and the band will warm your hearts with their special brand of indie-pop.

Tune in at 5 pm today in Ottawa at 89.1 FM or on-line at CHUO.fm

Stephen Fearing CD review

Picture
Have you heard Stephen Fearing's new disc, Between Hurricanes?

I first heard Stephen Fearing in 2006 after the release of Yellowjacket.  Apart from his ability to create images with words and music, the timbre of his voice was captivating. It took him 7 years to follow up with a new album entitled, Between Hurricanes.  That’s not to say he hasn’t been productive during that time span.  The Juno-winning singer-songwriter is also a member of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings as well as Fearing & White.

Not just a face for radio!

Are you ready for your close-up?  This is your chance to be in a music video. What could be sweeter than appearing in a video by Ottawa's own Shannon Rose and The Thorns?  The band is performing at Irene's Pub next weekend (I'm giving you a heads-up here so you have time to make yourself presentable for the big screen).  They will be shooting video at the event and they want you there looking like you're having a blast. Which, of course, you will be. As you may know, the band recently released a double CD called, Seasons, comprised of 4 EPs each composed and recorded in their respective seasons. Can't get much more Canadian than that!  Hey I mean, we even sometimes get winter in the spring!  Ughh :/

I am happy to welcome Shannon back to the studio tonight where she will be playing live on air for us. And her hubby, Steve, will be lurking about with video camera in hand. Yippee - Look ma, I be in a video! 

Tune in for the fun and possible mayhem at 5 p.m. on 89.1 fm in Ottawa or on-line at www.CHUO.fm
