Interviews with Esmerine, The Paper Kites, and 90 seconds with The Once

Today we talk to Bruce Cawdron of Esmerine about the group's concert tonight (Nov. 24) at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield. Bruce shares some insights into the influence of composers like Philip Glass and Steve Reich and what kind of configuration Esmerine will be for tonight's show. He also talks about a new recording project that will begin in January and the group on the bill with Esmerine tonight - the band's good friends Xylouris White. http://www.esmerine.com Next up we chat with Josh Bentley of Australia's Paper Kites. The group is playing at Mavericks tonight (Nov. 24) as part of a North American tour. We talk to Josh about the writing and recording of the group's latest album Twelvefour and being on tour playing a variety of different venues night after night. http://thepaperkites.com.au Finally, the Once is playing in Almonte and Seeley's Bay next week on Thursday and Friday (Dec. 1 and Dec. 2) Geri Hollett was supposed to call to talk about the band's latest recording - "We Win Some We Lose" - but her phone was acting up. Se we squeezed her in at 2 minutes to 6 p.m. for a wee chat about the upcoming concerts and the wonders of the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland - where she is from. http://www.theonce.ca thefestivalofsmallhalls.com/ Get out and see some live music this week
