In this playground of sound, contemporary Canadian folk songwriter Kate Weekes and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist James Stephens explore the travelogue that is Weekes’ dazzling 2019 release, ‘Taken by Surprise’. Emilyn Stam and John David Williams merge the voices of clarinet, violin, diatonic and chromatic accordions to create a modern sound steeped in tradition, with traditional music from France, and original compositions influenced by French, Klezmer, and Canadian traditions. Each duo will lead a set, and in a game of musical Red Rover, they will call each other over.

| CKCU FUNDING DRIVE HAS BEGUN! October 25th - November 17th, 2019!
Did you know that CKCU 93.1 FM is Canada’s OLDEST community radio station? Since 1975, CKCU has been a voice for diverse communities, connecting people throughout Ottawa and the world beyond. Unfortunately, all of this is at risk. Recent changes to funding for student activities in Ontario threaten CKCU's stability. Campus activities long seen as staples of student life are under threat. There is an urgent need for the Ottawa community to stand behind CKCU, as we have long stood behind the community. Show your support by donating at the link below or by calling 613-520-3920! https://www.ckcufm.com/pledge/ |

FOLKY JAZZ WEATHER! Ontario based duo Emilyn Stam and John David Williams merge the voices of clarinet, violin, diatonic and chromatic accordions to create a modern sound steeped in tradition. They met in 2011 as members of the Lemon Bucket Orkestra. During quiet hours of busy tour schedules they discovered a similar sensibility in improvisation and composition, and began to create a distinctive duo sound mainly featuring clarinet and violin. They both draw on wide musical influences and experience including Klezmer, early jazz and blues, and various fiddle traditions from Canada and abroad. Their first CD is a collection of original compositions based on improvisation and exploring playful instrumental duet dialogues. Currently, they are focusing on the folk music and dance traditions of western Europe. In addition to exploring traditional dance styles and tunes, they are developing a repertoire of original music meant equally for social dance and concert settings. They will release an album of this repertoire titled "Honeywood"in Spring 2020. They are also primary organizers of the first Canadian festival dedicated to music and dance from western Europe: The Big Branch Festival. Playing with Kate Weekes and James Stephens! Link above! |
