Stephen Fearing, the Yukon and some tulips!

Seven-year itch?  That’s how long we’ve waited for Stephen Fearing’s new disc, Between Hurricanes.  During that time, Stephen’s life has taken dramatic twists and turns but his wonderful songwriting has only improved. Stephen is in the Ottawa area this weekend and he took some time to speak with us about the past, the present and the future. Catch Stephen at the Branch Restaurant in Kemptville on Saturday, and then on Sunday in Ottawa at the Gladstone Theatre.

We are well aware that Canada is a vast country. This week many artists from the North have congregated in Ottawa. Joining me today, are two young blues/roots artists from the Yukon, Declan O’Donovan and Ryan McNally. You can catch them performing as part of the Northern Scene Festival on May 4th at The Rainbow Bistro.

Also, the Tulip Festival is back, complete with live concerts for the next 2 weeks! I’ll spin some tunes to get you in the mood.  You can check the event details here: http://tulipfestival.ca/

All the fun starts at 5 pm on your fm dial at 89.1 in Ottawa or on-line at CHUO.fm.
