My guests on this week's Hop The Fence are amazingly talented, each in their own right. One shoots straight from the hip and the other sings from the heart. One has 17 albums to his name and the other is up-and-coming.  One is bluesy rock and the other is ethereal electronica "dream folk".

C.R. Avery: On his 18th release, All The Angels Didn't Scare Me, C.R. Avery teams up with Ben Mink to tell the stories of life-like characters, people who have shaped our world - some fictional, some not.  The stories are as diverse as his approach using traditional folk, blues, hip-hop and roots rock.  He'll be at The Blacksheep Inn on Nov. 20.

Her Harbour: AKA Gabrielle Giguère, just released a haunting new single and video for "Hewing Crowns", a track which will make its way on her new album, Go Gently Into the Night, set for release early in 2017. She appears at Le Temporaire in Hull on November 24.

Also queued up for spins this week:

• Tasseomancy's new album, Do Easy. Appearing Nov 24 at Le Temporaire (with Her Harbour)
• The Damn Truth will be at House of Targ on Friday night with a new CD Develish Folk
• Jen Lane appearing with the Sunparlour Players at the Blacksheep Friday night
• Chanda M: Montreal Psychology-PhD-turned-electro-folk-artist launching her debut EP, Icons of Dreams November 19 at Live on Elgin

It's going to be a solid show! Tune in at 5 pm every Friday on 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.

It's November 11, 2016.  Really feeling like we are entering some very strange times.  In honour of Remembrance Day, here are three items we shouldn't ever forget:

1. The good men and women who put themselves in danger, who lost their lives or limbs, and to those who returned to us.  Thank you for allowing us to live free.
2. Democracy, before November 8 2016.  Let's hope our freedom remains intact.
3. Leonard Cohen.  Hallelujah!

Come escape with me at 5 pm for an hour.  We'll listen to some great music and speak to two fascinating artists who create it.

1. Toronto banjo player and singer-songwriter Hannah Shira Naiman. In town on Saturday at Pressed (750 Gladstone Ave) to showcase her sophomore album Know The Mountain. 
2. The Darcys in town at Babylon on Nov 17 to release their new album, Centerfold.

Tune in at 5 pm every Friday on 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.
