Interviews with Abigail Lapell and Sasha Chornyy of the group Life In Vacuum

We open the show today in conversation with Abigail Lapell, talking about the new deluxe edition of her album Stolen Time. There are four new songs on the album, including a stunning cover of Fleetwood Mac's Songbird. Abigail tells us why she included this beautiful cover on the album and we also talk about how the natural outdoor world impacts her songwriting. You can see Abigail Lapell in her first Ottawa appearance with a band, at the National Arts Centre on Friday, May 12th. Don't miss this performance by one of Canada's most celebrated songwriters.

The group recently released a new album Lost and they are appearing at the Dominion Tavern tonight - Thursday, May 4th. We talk to Sasha about the production of the new album and what to expect in concert tonight. Sasha is originally from the Ukraine, and he shares what it's like staying in touch with family members still living in the Ukraine - notably with some friends and family members serving in the Ukrainian Army defending against the aggressions of Russia.
