Juno Award winner Amelia Curran calls in from St. John's. She will be in Ottawa on Wed. Oct. 19 to kick of the Folk Music Ontario conference with a concert at Irene's Pub. She founded a grassroots advocacy group called It's Mental, and will lead a mental health panel at the conference. Jérémi Pierre Caron plays live and talks about the differences between performing solo and with his band, Bitterly Healed. Roxanne Potvin, who has a glorious new album called "For Dreaming", drops by to perform and chat. And Royal Wood, who is in the middle of playing four consecutive dates at the Black Sheep just for fun, stops by the studio to sing, play... and whistle!
