We have a special show planned for you today!  The city is crawling with amazing musicians from across the nation!  They are all in for the Annual Folk Music Ontario conference. I have invited a few of them to stop by The Record Centre today between 5 and 6 pm for a live broadcast.  This is a special edition as CHUO is in the midst of its funding drive!

Come see us live in person!  Please stop in and make a donation to your community radio station!  Help us stay on the airwaves to provide you with alternative content.  Not your run-of-the-mill radio!  You can also easily donate on-line at CHUO.fm.

Here's who I am expecting to show up today:
Tim Moxam: Performing at Bar Robo on Sunday.
Laura Spink of The Young Novelists: Performing as part of FMO this weekend.
Dawn Pritchard: Performing at FMO Indigenous artists showcase on Saturday
Slo Tom Stewart: CD Release party at Irene's on Saturday

I'm honoured to welcome Séan McCann, formerly of Great Big Sea to HTF this week! You won't want to miss Séan speak about his tumultuous but enlightening journey over the past years: Séan left GBS shortly after going sober, then opened up about his survival of childhood abuse. He’s now a solo artist and motivational speaker. He is coming to Ottawa's NAC on October 22nd.

This is the kind of radio programming that I get excited about and am so proud to prepare for you each week. CHUO's Hop The Fence has supported hundreds of independent Canadian and local music artists, many of whom you may not otherwise learn about through traditional media outlets.

The CHUO Funding Drive has started! So far, I'd like to give big thanks to Séan McCann as well as the Blacksheep Inn for their generous donations! Be cool like them and contribute to CHUO's funding drive! Help me reach my goal (or surpass it)! You can donate easily online at CHUO.FM

One advantage of being located in the National Capital Region is that we are in the crosshairs of our country's two solitudes: a rich blend of French and English cultures. I am bilingual so I get to enjoy the best of both worlds. (I'm French first actually, if you didn't know.  The only people who ever pick out my French accent are either American or from Toronto. Ha!) 

My featured artists this week are performing Friday night at a quaint little club/art house in the heart of Gatineau called Le Temporaire (75 St-Redempteur). Come broaden your horizons with me this Friday at 5 pm.

Lisa Conway, aka L CON is a vocalist, arranger and producer. She has a new album called Moon Milk. It is part "astral folklore and earthly hues", an experimental and psychedelic concoction that was engineered by Andrew Collins at their rural studio in Grey County, ON.  Moon Milk showcases L CON’s background working with filmmakers, dancers, and performance artist.

Montreal’s The Luyas are back in the area with a new EP, Says You, their first new recording since 2012. The band’s debut album released in 2011 was long listed for a Polaris Music Prize that year. Their retro-futurist songs are drenched in echo, and built from guitars, French horn, keyboards, drums and percussion.
The last time The Luyas played at Le Temporaire in 2013, David Byrne of The Talking Heads attended the event after his performance at Ottawa Jazz Festival. That’s pretty cool in my books.

Find us on your radio every Friday at 5 pm 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.
