Time to escape the Winter Doldrums

I know, I know! It's almost spring. Forget May, March is truly the cruelest month.  We're all anticipating warmer climes, but March teases us with crumbs of warmth sprinkled through subzero temps and endless streams of white stuff descending from angry clouds. But fear not, the Doldrums Music Festival is coming to sweep us away from it all.  In its 4th year, the Doldrums Music Festival takes place next weekend, March 27-28 with 8 great local bands. Four are lined-up for Friday night at Pressed Cafe and another four at Club Saw on Saturday.

It sounds like the perfect remedy. Join me this Friday as co-organizer, Peter Zachar (of Those Gulls) tells us all about it. 

BTW, I recently did a little moonlighting for Damn Mag, the music magazine that gives a damn!  I think you'll enjoy this quick read about eclectic Canadian klezmer-jazz band, Gypsophilia.  They're releasing a new disc soon and will be touring extensively through the spring and summer.  Check it out and expect to hear them featured on Hop The Fence in the coming months.

Tune in every Friday at 5 pm on CHUO, number 89.1 on your FM dial in Ottawa. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.
