Key of A
with Katherine Duncan

Lucas Chaisson, Alex Vissia, Rob Heath and more

This week on the Key of A, you'll hear musicians at very different stages in their careers.
Cochrane's Lucas Chaisson is just 19 but well on his way; you'll hear a lovely solo set he played in March at the Ironwood Stage in Calgary.

Another young artist, Alex Vissia from Stoney Plain/Edmonton, is getting ready to release her new EP Young Love, with a show Friday May 24, and we'll give you a preview.

Veteran Edmonton songwriter Rob Heath unveils his 5th full-length album, The Trick; while Wilfred N and the Grown Men's new release is a father and son collaboration. Wilfred's son Nik Kozub (of the band Shout Out Out Out Out) engineered and co-produced the album, I'm in love with the city. But as Wilfred puts it, "I'm the dad, so I'm still the boss."

Plus, here's a lovely new video to keep the spirit of Mother's Day going a little longer, from High River's Karla Adolphe.

Calgary Folk Music Festival preview

This week on the Key of A you'll get a preview of this summer's Calgary Folk Music Festival. Artistic director Kerry Clarke joins Katherine to tell you what's new this year, how she puts the festival together, and introduce some of the Alberta artists you'll see this summer, including Tom Phillips, Shiv Shanks, Leela Gilday, Lucas Chaisson, The Mountaineer and Wool on Wolves.

Plus, you'll hear songs by Edmonton-raised Buckman Coe, who's playing shows in Lethbridge, Banff and Calgary next week.

And... we'll preview a special concert by Lionel Rault, Andrea House and Dana Wylie, just in time for Mother's Day this Sunday in Edmonton (you hadn't forgotten about Mom, had you?!)

Jenie Thai talks music, sings the blues

This week on the Key of A, you'll meet Jenie Thai: a classically trained pianist with a passion for the blues, and a voice that's both fragile and powerful. Jenie Thai drops in to our Edmonton studio for a chat about her first full-length album, which she's releasing Saturday April 20th, with a full-band show at the Stanley A. Milner Library.

Plus, a new EP from Calgary's Souls in Rhythm. This time they've expanded their signature funk by teaming up with Calgary hip-hop artist Transit for the title track of their new release, Another Round. 

Reuben and the Dark have released our CBC recording of their show last fall, Live at the Lantern -- we'll give you a taste of that. 

We'll wrap up the show with Prairie Modern, a gorgeous new jazz release from the Hutchinson Andrew Trio out now on Chronograph Records

March 23 - Boreal Sons Live at the Lantern

Boreal-Sons-The-Lantern-NicoleIrene.jpg
This week, we bring you a rare Key of A live recording. You'll hear Boreal Sons, a four-piece band from Calgary, recorded last November at the Lantern Community Church.

Plus, recent releases by DragonFli Empire, Curtis Glas, and Wil.




Kris Ellestad, live at SoundOff Calgary!

This week, we'll take you to the SoundOff Calgary showcase for a performance by Kris Ellestad, recorded live last month at The Gateway.

We celebrate 3 Alberta albums nominated for Juno Awards. Corb Lund is up for Roots/Traditional solo album; Calgary-based Makeshift Innocence gets a nod in the Reggae category, and Purity Ring, formed in Edmonton, is in the running for Electronic Album of the Year at the Junos. We'll let you sample all three.

Plus, a new album from 100 mile house, Wait With Me. The band, formed around the husband and wife Peter Stone and Denise McKay, is evolving steadily with this third full-length release. Tune in to hear songs from the new album on the Key of A, then go hear them play live. 100 mile house is launching the album March 2 at the Ironwood Stage in Calgary, and March 9th at the Roxy in Edmonton
