The Guest List
Thursday December 12th, 2024 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Lynn Miles, Simone Provencher & Laurence Gauthier-Brown of VICTIME, and Parms of the Ottawa-based band Complicit

The Guest List is sponsored by Spaceman Music at 388 Gladstone Avenue. It's an independent music store run by musicians. Visit them for all your music making needs! https://www.spacemanmusic.com/ We take a look at three big events on the Ottawa independent music scene this weekend... so consider getting out to see at least one of them! We open the show in conversation with Ottawa's own Lynn Miles, talking to her about her triple header of shows at Irene's this weekend - Friday and Saturday night and Sunday for a matinee. We talk to Lynn about how winter themes weave their way through many of her songs and how she has structured this special winter/Christmas concert. She also shares how she has created a special new song to pay tribute to her Mother who died a couple of years ago and was an important part of these Christmas concerts. Lynn also tells us about the incredible band that will be accompanying her at these shows.

We talk about how Laurence creates her vocals to fit into the dynamic and rhythmic songs on the new album En conversation avec and how they will recreate these sounds live on Saturday night when the group performs as part of Pique.

That is when Ottawa presenter Debaser takes over every space in the Arts Court building and brings it to life with lots of music and a variety of other artistic presentations.
