Friday Drive
Friday June 17th, 2022 with Trevor Walker
[ .caAllTheWay! ]

Happy Friday Drivers! This week is all about music mostly from within Canada and predominantly from Ottawa! Featuring music within the global Jazz Funk Soul vibe à la “Friday Drive”! Whenever a show like this comes about I’m always so proud of Canada’s musical prowess. Definitely some very talented world class artists in the diaspora. Pulled too much music for two hours but hope I get through most of it . Expect an eclectic tour on today’s journey into sound! Thank you for taking the time and please enjoy the ride!
