Interviews with Tom Wilson of Lee Harvey Osmond, James Rooke of leMeow and Rory Magill of Rakestar

Wow... great show today with lots of great talk about music. First up, Tom Wilson joins us to talk about the upcoming performance by his group Lee Harvey Osmond at the National Arts Centre, next Saturday night, January 20. It is ALWAYS a pleasure to connect with Tom and he shares with us today a hilarious story about going to see the prog rock band Yes when he was a teenager. He also talks about the great groove on the latest album by Lee Harvey Osmond and how he keeps busy with solo projects, visual art, acting and his other group Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. http://leeharveyosmond.com/ https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/14687 Next up we chat with James Rooke of the Ottawa group leMeow. The group released its debut album in 2016 and with the powerful vocals of Gin Bourgeois at the forefront it's a tour de force of soulful, jazz-tinged pop music. We talk to James about how he got back together with Gin to form leMeow and record the album York St. He also talks about the sound of the group and what to expect when the group performs with a horn section at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield this Saturday night - January 14th. https://lemeowmusic.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.theblacksheepinn.com/ordertickets.asp?p=848&backurl=default.asp Finally we connect with Rory Magill of the Rakestar Arkestra. This group pays tribute to the trippy, mind-bending and ground-breaking music of the great jazz force Sun Ra. And next weekend Rakestar takes it to another level when the group performs with a 35 voice choral group Tone Cluster under the direction of Christine Duncan. This will be a very special show next Sunday night, January 22 at the Church of the Ascension 253 Echo Drive near the Pretoria Bridge. This is a show not to be missed!!! https://www.facebook.com/events/573768699424587/ Get out and see some live music this week.
