Kandle ... in the wind

11/20/2014

Get your earplugs ready, it's going to be another music-filled weekend in the Nation's capital. Be sure to tune in to CHUO.fm on Friday at 5 pm to hear some spins, interviews and previews of what's ahead.

Kandle:
Originally from Victoria, Kandle's debut EP was produced by her father, 54-40's Neil Osborne in 2012. Now firmly established far from the west coast in Montreal's vibrant music scene, she has released her first full length, In Flames. This triumphant disc, a favorite on the program since its arrival, features collaborations with Sam Goldberg (Broken Social Scene) and cameos by Beatrice Martin (aka Coeur de Pirate) and Sam Roberts. She will be at Zaphod's with the Fast Romantics on Wednesday, Nov 26.

Jen and John:
All the way from Saskatoon, they are back in town, this time with a new album of duets. Making beautiful music together, you'll enjoy their delightful blend of folk/roots and indie/country and everything in between. Catch them at Raw Sugar Friday night.

Also queued up for your listening pleasure:
Emmas Ringer: CD release by Ottawa-based band @ Pressed on Saturday Nov 22
Jenny Berkel: @ Raw Sugar, Wed Nov 26
F&M: @ Zaphod's on Saturday Nov 22
Buck 65: @ the NAC on Saturday Nov 22

Man, Ottawa’s music stages are currently exploding! There is so much going on in town, I’ve had to turn down some interview opportunities. I hate doing that. This Friday, we will have 3 guests. Time is going to fly by! Hope I can cram it all in.

Buck 65: AKA Rich Terfry (and a variety of other stage names too). Buck/Rich is a self-taught turntablist/MC/ producer and broadcaster. His career has spanned well over 20 years now. He has spearheaded what you might call alternative, underground, east-coast, baseball Hip Hop in Canada – all the while incorporating blues, country and even humour in his creative ramblings. I’m a big fan. That is all. He wears his heart on his sleeve on his latest disc, Forever Love. See him at the NAC next Saturday, November 22nd.

High Ends: Solo project from Yukon Blonde singer/songwriter, Jeffrey Innes. The new album, Super Class, is described as “80’s-inspired, psychedelic, synth-soaked jams”. Sounds like a party! And he’s bringing it to Mavericks on Wednesday, November 19.

Lynne Hanson: We’re always happy to have Lynne with us on CHUO. With Lynn Miles in the producer's chair, her latest disc, River of Sand, sees her kicking things up many notches. Her sobriety and maturity are beautiful to behold. She appears at the NAC this Friday, November 14.

Be sure to join us Friday at 5 pm on CHUO fm in Ottawa at 89.1 on your FM dial or listen live on-line.

Also going on this weekend is WuFest in celebration of my Ming Wu's photography of Ottawa's live music scene (Ming often covers for me on HTF when my day job takes me out of town). It's happening at the Blacksheep Inn tonight and tomorrow featuring Aroara, Moonfruits, Little Scream, Giant Hand and Pony Girl. Check-it out!
