Showcasing Canada's Emerging Artists

12/9/2016

0 Comments

 
This September, Heather Gibson was named the new executive producer of the National Arts Centre’s homegrown singer-songwriter series, NAC Presents.  It’s an artist development program that provides a national stage for emerging artists.  Heather has an impressive background. She was the Executive Director of the Halifax Jazz Festival, and Founder and Artistic Producer of the In the Dead of Winter Music Festival which takes place in both Halifax and here in Wakefield.

I look forward to hearing about her vision for the future of the NAC Presents series.

(On another note, you might like to read a piece I recently wrote about Séan McCann who recently appeared in Ottawa as part of the NAC Presents series. Read it at DamnMag)

Also on today's program, we welome Toronto-based band Future PEERS before their Ottawa release show on Thursday December 15th at Bar Robo. Their debut self-titled album was conceived while being artists in residence at the Banff Centre working with Grammy award winning engineer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer, Julian Casablancas) and Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew.

Time permitting, we'll also give these a spin for ya:
  • David Dino White (at Avant Garde Bar tonight)
  • David Francey (in Almonte Saturday)

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.
