As much as I enjoyed being part of the Juno celebrations and associated nonsense, there were so many great Canadian musicians who went unnoticed. This week, I featured a few folks who are surely award-winning in my heart.
On the folkier side, Yukoner Anne Louise Genest knows how to write a song. Her songs are touching and insightful and great. She’s fun to talk to, also, as I found out when she called us on her way to Winnipeg for a show at Dregs.
As much as I love folk, everyone knows that I’m a sucker for a great pop song, and Andy Stochansky knows how to put one of those together. He’s quickly become a rising star in Canada, and his new CD 100 is sure to raise his profile even more. He gave us a call (better late than never) to talk about the CD and his Winnipeg show.
Then, a moment of glory in my short, humble radio career. I became a music nerd in about 1991 or ’92, and it was largely thanks to a band called The Lowest of the Low. Their songs reached me at a time when I was interested in something more intelligent and interesting than I had been hearing on the radio, and they spoke to me as if they were written about my own life and feelings. Something about them grabbed me in a way that very few other artists ever have. I’ve followed them obsessively for 13 years or so, so it was an absolute thrill to welcome the band’s singers and songwriters, Ron Hawkins and Stephen Stanley live in the studio.
