Bandwidth: now with more twang!

Tomorrow marks the Canadian Country Music Awards (also known as the CCMAs) and to celebrate, Bandwidth's putting a bit more twang in your Saturday!

You'll meet Kayla Howran, a singer-songwriter from Peterbrough who's sound is country through and through. Kayla said when she was young she tried to rebel against her country upbringing and play folk music... but even her renditions of Ani DiFranco had a noticeable twang to them...

Ottawa rocker Kalle Mattson is taking on the 90-second egg this week... AND you'll get to hear the band's brand new single, Pick Me Up!

You'll also get to hear a Bandwidth first listen -- the RADIO PREMIERE of a new track off singer-songwriter Jadea Kelly's yet-to-be-released album. It's great!

UPCOMING SHOW INFO:

- Melissa Payne plays in Ottawa on Sept 15th at the Rainbow Bistro. More tour dates are on her website

- you can find more info on the Searchmont Music Festival (happening today!) on their site

- Kalle Mattson's tour dates are all on his Facebook page

- Jadea Kelly's shows are all listed on her website

- and, of course, don't forget to check this weekend's listings for Ottawa Folk Fest!

And that wraps things up for this Saturday! Be sure to tune in next week -- I've got interviews with the Souljazz Orchestra AND Danny Michel -- who both have new albums coming out on Sept. 18th.

Catcha next week!
