Bandwidth goes on European Holiday...

... because who doesn't need a break now and then?

 

We couldn't get you a plane ticket, but we've got the next best thing -- we're bringing you Ontario musicians with their own European connections.

 

 

We've got interviews with Ottawa singer-songwriter Kyrie Kristmanson, who now lives in Paris, as well as a chat with Rhoby Lafrance from Weston Super Mare (band pictured above) -- a Gatineau band that started in London, England. Plus, you'll hear from Matthew de Zoete, who just wrapped up a two month tour in Germany and the Netherlands.

 

If you're in the Ottawa area, Weston Super Mare has its CD release party TOMORROW (Sunday) night at 8 p.m. at Les Brasseurs du Temps in Hull. Opening for the band will be Kris Ward from Right by Midnight and the Brothers Chaffey -- sure to be a good show!

 

And if you're in the Hamilton area, Matthew de Zoete's CD release party for his latest album, Colour Films, is happening at The Pearl Company at 8 p.m. as well.

 

Have a fantastic weekend, and be sure to tune in next week -- we're cooking up something special for the Mothers' Day weekend!

 

Meg.
