Full English Breakfast / Peter Chapman - interviews (non-bike)

The Art Mentorship Society of Alberta is hosting their fourth annual fundraiser tomorrow (Friday Nov 16) night at the ATB Arts & Culture Branch (CKUA building/9804 Jasper Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0C5). Executive Director Robyn O'Brien joined Peter Chapman to talk about what the organisation does, how art empowers people, and how thinking about the holistic soul helps keep us afloat, especially when art is concerned.

The event features a panel discussion featuring mental health advocates, including Councillor Scott McKeen, photographer Blake Loates and AHS personnel Michelle Knox. There will also be music from outlaw Canadian country band The Coal Mine Canaries and singer-songwriter Jay Gilday.

Tickets can be bought on the door from 5:30pm for $50, or in advance from: www.artmentorshipab.com. If you just want to hear the music, show up after 7:30pm and pay just $15.

Edmonton-based singer-songwriter Jessica Heine joined Peter Chapman to talk about her deeply personal third album "Goodbye Party" which is out now. She talks us through how her divorce led to a more introspective set of songs than her previous work, how she came to work with Peter Stone from 100 Mile House (who produced the album), and how cathartic the whole process was.

Jessica is also performing as part of the Apocalypse Kow Kristmas Kabaret that is happening tonight at Nest Taphouse Grill.

Caro Deady performs as the alt-folk offering ursidae, and on Tuesday March 26, 2019, she will play as part of a bill that features Vancouver duo Porteau alongside Edmontonian's Days at The Sewing Machine Factory. CJSR's Peter Chapman spoke to Caro to discover what she's been up to since her 2015 release One Year Long, what Terrified Swan Records, her project she runs with Laura Reznek, gets up to monthly to support women and marginalised genders and how the tour will take her to places she's never played before.

Alt-folk outfit ursidae talk to CJSR

"They bring a love and an energy to the festival," says Terry Wickham about the volunteers at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, during an in-depth interview on CJSR with Peter Chapman ahead of tickets going on sale this Saturday June 1, 2019.

Hear about who Terry is excited to see at this year's event, will they ever have hologram performers and why the tactile experience of being there is always more important to him than a live stream.

Brian Raine, the man behind the sonic outfit Ways in Waves, talks about their new release Bloodless Arches available this weekend on Bent River Records. The project took Raines over 3 and a half years, and involved him meticulously creating a stop motion music video and a wire framed bird that inspired the cover art. He tells CJSR's Peter Chapman what he hopes to achieve with his music, and how his access to musical tools directed his creative path. Way in Waves play live this Saturday, June 15, 2019, at the Aviary.
