Joe Jackson On Canada Live

Moving along in the broadcast day, steppin' out into the night, you could say -- tonight, Joe Jackson on Canada Live (8 p.m.)

Yes, that Joe Jackson. He's a five-time Grammy winner with a fellowship from the Royal Academy of Music and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Portsmouth. More importantly, he's the Is She Really Going Out With Him guy. Canada Live recorded Jackson with a trio at the Chan Centre -- you'll hear Jackson at the Steinway.

Second up on the show, three up and comers from Vancouver, from the "Penthouse Song Circle No.2" According to my sources, these three performers "embrace their inner morose." Yikes. Well, nothing like a good morose to lift your spirits from time to time. Blues players know a bit about that.

The three in question are Dan Mangan, Nat Jay and James Lamb.
