Again, we have another eventful weekend ahead here in beautiful Ottawa. Bands are flocking to the city's stages. It's a great time to be a live music lover!  I have plans to interview Matt Epp and Saint-Clare on this week's Hop The Fence. I'll be spinning songs from the following Canadian bands and musicians.



Performing on Friday, May 25:
  • She's Listening @ Irene's: a concert series in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada featuring Jadea Kelly, Sweet Alibi. Cindy Doire, Rachel Beck and Jessica Pearson.
  • SubFloor @ Pressed:  With a nod to 80's goth but with a current vibe, the newly formed Ottawa quintet are ready to showcase their new material.
  • Stone Age Man @ The Blacksheep Inn along with the Sunparlor Players
Performing on Saturday, May 26:
  • BONJAY @ The 27 Club along with Too Attached and King Kimbit. You can hear our interview with Alanna Stuart online now on CHUO.fm

  • Sparklesaurus, Ginny, Keturah Johnson @ St-Alban's
  • Graham Nicolas, Ray Sebatin and Jerry Leger @ Pressed
Performing on Sunday, May 27:
  • The Lynne's @ the NAC - SOLD OUT!
  • Matt Epp @ The Blacksheep Inn at 4 pm: He is sharing the new single from his forthcoming album Shadowlands, entitled “Good Lover.”  His 10th studio album tastes as fresh as the hills of Nashville, Tennesee.
  • Lyndsey Walker, Christine Jakel, Aaron's Quest @ Avant-Garde Bar

Tune in! You can here us on Friday from 5 to 6 pm in Ottawa on CHUO at 89.1 on your FM dial. You can also tune in remotely on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.

PictureEvening Hymns' Jonas Bonnetta in CHUO Studio (2016)

There's something about the first warm weather long weekend in Canada. Don't get me wrong, us Ottawans won't let hail, sleet nor snow stop us from seeing a good show in winter. But when the fair weather comes around, it seems everyone wants to come visit. There are myriad great shows to check out this weekend in the nation's capital.  Here's a taste:

  • Evening Hymns at General Assembly on May 24 (Thursday):  Jonas Bonnetta will be calling in the CHUO studio to chat with me about his latest album, Quiet Energies.  The last time he was in studio, well over a year ago, he co-hosted the whole hour with me and we had a blast. 

  • BONJAY: One half of Bonjay, Alanna Stuart, wlll be phoning in tonight to tell us about their new album, Lush Life and upcoming show at 27 Club next Saturday (with special guest King Kimbit). Alanna is a CHUO Alumni where she co-hosted Hop The Fence with me for a short while many years ago.  It'll be great to reconnect.
  • Moonfruits at the Blacksheep Inn Friday.  The band just released a new video for "Le Maire". It was filmed in Old Ottawa South with friends and fans standing in as characters from St-Somewhere aka Ste-Quequepart.
  • Claude Munson at the NAC 4th Stage Saturday: He'll be presenting his brand new hot-off-the-press album, The Silence Came After (released on Record Centre Records).
  • BlankScreen will be at Bar Robo on Friday along with Empty Nesters and Future News. Blankscreen have a new album, Century.
  • Samantha Martin is in at the Blacksheep Inn Saturday for her CD Release, Run To Me featuring Ottawa's own Steve Marriner (MonkeyJunk)
  • Danielle Allard drops her new CD, Passing Notes, on Saturday at Collabspace
  • Jamie Ferguson and the Hills Gang at the Blacksheep Inn on Sunday at 4 pm. With special guest Kelsey Hayes opening up, it promises to be a fun afternoon along the shores of the Gatineau River.
I'll attempt to spin something from each of these bands. Join us on CHUO 89.1 FM at 5 pm every Friday. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.
