Royal Wood, Alex Leggett, and the Polaris Prize short list

It's another great week in the world of Bandwidth!

I've got an interview with Royal Wood (left) -- the singer-songwriter has just released a new album, We Are Born To Glory, and it's a change from his usual fare... find out what inspired his more hopeful turn on this record.

I've also got a chat with up and coming singer-songwriter Alex Leggett, from Gananoque. Alex's third album is being released TODAY, and if you're in the Kingston area then you should hit up his CD release party at the Mansion -- it gets started at 9pm. In addition to being a talented performer, Alex also has a beautiful guitar sponsored by True Axe Guitars -- check it out right here! ------------>

UPCOMING SHOWS:

- ZaphodFestaMusica is happening all day in Ottawa! Lineup includes Fevers, Sound of Lions, Amos the Transparent and Capital Beat.

- Suzie Vinnick is playing in Kitchener on July 22nd at Rockway Gardens -- the Dorothy Elliot Gazebo. It starts at 7:30 and it's free! More shows are listed on her website.

Have a fantastic weekend, and I'll catch you back here next week!
