NOTE: For the FM broadcast of the Guest List, we could only play an excerpt of the final piece, "be eaten?" It is played in its entirety here as part of the On Demand version of the show. The Guest List is sponsored by Spaceman Music, located at 388 Gladstone Avenue, just west of Bank. Visit Spaceman for all of your music making needs and don't forget they have a great repair shop and offer music lessons. Check out Spaceman online at: https://www.spacemanmusic.com/ We open the show in conversation with Tracy Shaw and Greg Beaudoin, of the country-folk duo Catbird. This is a pretty new musical group on the Ottawa scene and we talk about how these two life partners started making music together, how they draw support from each other through the process of creating music and performing and what we can expect Saturday night (April 5th) when they perform at Meow! That's Hot with the group Tulips and Devilships. To get both of the singles we featured on the show, visit Catbird's Bandcamp site: https://catbird-band.bandcamp.com/ Then we talk to saxophonist Linsey Wellman about his group LSD Trio. This avant garde, improvisational group will be opening up for the Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio on Saturday night (April 5) at the Glebe, St. James United Church at 650 Lyon Street. We talk to Linsey about the process of creating and recording improvised music with the LSD Trio. We also talk about the dynamics of performing this kind of music live. LSD Trio is also performing on April 30th at the Avant-Garde Bar with Tom Richards and Tunu.
