Kelp has supported talented local bands including The Acorn, Jim Bryson, Evening Hymns, Andrew Vincent, Chris Page, Andy Swan, Rhume, HILOTRONS, Banditas, Recoilers & more. More?! 

Tune in to Hop The Fence this week as we reminisce with Chris Page, dig up some fun stories to share, and talk about Kelp's influence on Canada's healthy DIY scene.

The big party is at St- Albans Church on King Edward this Saturday.

2 live studio performances on tap for you on this evening's Hop The Fence.

We are happy to welcome Marta Pacek back to the CHUO studio this evening.  Originating from Australia where she is highly regarded as an alt-folk-country artist, she has made her home here in Canada.  Canadians are taking notice,  turning heads and ears in her direction.  Marta’s third full-length album, Voodoo Dolls & False Alarms was released in March. She appears tonight in Wakefield at Kaffe 1870 and tomorrow night in Ottawa at the Rainbow.

Jen Lane's career started at the tender age of 16 buoyed by a Prairie Music Award nomination.  Later, a freak backstage accident left her with a badly broken foot that would take years to repair, bringing her budding career to a halt.  But she is back on both feet now and ready to start anew. The songstress and writer will be in Ottawa tonight at Raw Sugar.

Tune in at 5 pm on 89.1 FM in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. 

We look forward to chatting with Ottawa space-folkies, Orienteers who return to the stage at Irene's Pub on Saturday with special guest, Tilda. The two bands share two band members, yet each has its own signature sound. You'll hear everything from pedal steel guitar loops and bowed guitar, to e-Bows and trumpets.  We'll be giving away tickets to the show and limited edition CDs!

Also on the program tonight, we've got The Archers, who have just released their debut full-length album, These Wicked Woods. The young Victoria, BC based band have been making their mark in indie rock-folk-pop worlds since 2011 and their new album emerges triumphant with their blend of folky harmonies, modern rock, and indie-pop trends. The band will be at The Blacksheep Inn on Saturday night.

Tune in at 5 p.m. on 89.1 fm in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm.  Get ready to Tweet or call to win tickets and CDs tonight between 5 and 6 pm.  Keep this # handy: 613-562-5967.
