Friday Drive
Friday June 10th, 2022 with Trevor Walker
[SameRideDifferentRoute]

Happy Friday Drivers! I’ve got what I believe to be a decent pull of goodies to keep you entertained for a couple of hours. You can expect the usual ride with a slightly different route. Starting off in a downtempo mode and taking it up in hour two depending on how the songs prefer to be played. Thank you for being here and I hope you can stick it out until the bitter end! Thank you for taking the time and hope you enjoy the trip. Extra curriculars mentioned during the broadcast.

Alex Moxon Quartet Album Release @ NAC Fourth Stage | 20h30 Event: https://fb.me/e/1PnRWXnyx Tickets: nac-cna.ca/en/event/30735 Ottawa guitarist Alex Moxon has been a familiar face in the Ottawa jazz scene for over a decade now. He has spent this time refining his voice as an improviser and composer while performing with a who's who of local and national talent. His June 11th concert at the NAC’s Fourth Stage will see the culmination of these efforts as he celebrates the in-person launch of his debut album as a leader, "Alex Moxon Quartet," which has already received international radio airplay and stellar reviews. The quartet features: Alex Moxon - guitar Steve Boudreau - piano John Geggie – bass Michel Delage - drums On Moxon's first record, Peter Hum of The Ottawa Citizen says "[Moxon] blends shards of the blues, modal motifs and flashes of guitar wizardry." Says Raul De Gama of The Whole Note, "Moxon is a shining example of what true musicality means." "Overall, Alex Moxon Quartet delivers an experience that uplifts and excites listeners as it leads them along a path of varying emotional landscapes... Let it be an antidote for gloom and despair, and a reminder that the future will be a wonderful place," says James Hale of Downbeat.
