Traditional, modern, Canadian and local music

Partner performing at Barrymore's as part of Megaphono 2017

Have you been enjoying the Megaphono events this week?  It started on Wednesday and runs until the wee hours late Friday night.  Unless you're down south sunning your buns on a beach somewhere, you should be taking in the festivities in Ottawa.  The music event features speaker sessions, facilitated panels, speed meeting with international and national music industry experts and of course, plenty of great concert showcases.  See the full schedule and get your tickets at Megaphono.TV

Meanwhile, we'll be chatting with Alexis MacIsaac and Calum MacKenzie, a wife and husband duo who have established a unique musical partnership that combines Cape Breton piano playing with a modern approach to Celtic fiddle.  They are in Ottawa for a sold out show at Live on Elgin this weekend to present their debut album, The Bay Street Sessions, a compilation of original and traditional compositions and arrangements.

We'll also give some spins to some bands performing in and around town this weekend!

Tune in at 5 pm tonight and 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.
