Over the past few months independent pop artist Meg Smith has been dropping songs from her recently released EP. With Cool 4 U and Because Of Me being upbeat, sugary and fun songs you can crank up in the car and sing along with or dance around in your living room while Who Not To Love is a heartbreakingly beautiful song that anyone who’s ever experienced heartbreak will be able to listen to it and relate to.

Cara Luft is driving from Manitoba to BC to visit her tiny home. “I’ve been doing a few solo distancing concerts in Manitoba and some with my (The Small Glories) band mate.

When it comes to the music business in Canada you’ll be hard pressed to find someone with a bigger heart than Brett Kissel. A few months ago Brett sold out a show in Edmonton to raise funds for Nashville after a devastating tornado ripped through the city and now he’s getting ready to do it again only this time the show will have an added twist…it’ll be a parking lot party and you have to be in your car to hear the music.

It’s been a few weeks since we caught up with Jason but it feels like a lifetime ago now. Our conversation came mere days before a massive tornado ripped through Nashville, luckily Jason and his family and friends are ok but boy at the time we had no idea how much different the world would look a few months later.
