Blindman Brewing Session Stories Season 5

Notes on Wellness - Season Four

Trina Moyles’ life has been an adventure, from working with NGOs overseas, to an isolated life in a fire tower in Alberta’s northern boreal forest. 

Trina chronicles her life journey and experience as a smoke spotter in her new book, entitled Lookout - Love, Solitude, and Searching for Wildfire in the Boreal Forest. 

The book represents Trina’s journey of self-discovery, and coming to terms with solitude - an experience that may resonate with many readers living in the pandemic era. 

The book launches with a virtual event on Monday March 29, 2021. 
 
Trina recently spoke with Grant Stovel about her new book and the experiences leading up to it.

All about singing in orchestra with Andrea Ciona

This week, TransCanada Music West presents Saskatchewan folk duo Kacy & Clayton performing live at the Artery in Edmonton, Alberta. The band performs songs from their latest album, The Day is Past and Gone, which features adaptations of traditional folk songs made popular by the likes of Shirley Collins, Lead Belly, and Sandy Denny. 

Kacy & Clayton are second cousins who grew up in Wood Mountain Hills, Saskatchewan, and they credit their knowledge of, and affinity for folk music to Kacy’s grandfather and Clayton’s Great-Uncle, Carl Anderson. 

The duo released their self-titled debut in 2011, recorded when Kacy was just 16 years old. Their sophomore effort, The Day is Past and Gone, was produced by Ryan Boldt of The Deep Dark Woods – a band which also features Clayton Linthicum on guitar.

This week on TransCanada Music West, CKUA presents Andy Shauf and his band recorded live at The Mercury Room in Edmonton. The Regina singer-songwriter’s latest record 'The Bearer of Bad News' recently received its US debut on Tender Loving Empire/Party Damage Records. Andy’s songs prompt comparisons to records by influential greats like Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, yet they still manage to stand as something altogether unique.

Tune in this Friday, February 6 at 8pm MT, or subscribe to the free TransCanada Music West podcast to receive this show, and other great weekly concerts.
