Interviews with Jena "Goldie" Gogo of Duke and Goldie, Caroline Brooks of the Good Lovelies and Kellylee Evans

We open the show today in conversation with Jena "Goldie" Gogo who is one half of the country-folk-roots duo Duke and Goldie. They just released their second e.p. Romance and Ramblin' and will be performing in Aylmer, Quebec (yes I know it's part of Gatineau!) at 5e Baron Microbrasserie - it's a FREE show on Friday night (Dec. 19th.) We talk about things like authenticity in art and music and about the stories behind the songs West End Queen and The Low Desert.
