Tonight on the show: a first!
Catch 23 welcomes Greg Upshaw to the CKCU studio to play some live songs for us, and a great mix of tunes that inspire him to write and/or cover.
Be sure to check out his website: http://www.gregupshaw.ca
And he's on Facebook at "Greg Upshaw Music"
It sounded great from where I was sitting!
I hope you enjoy it too.
This show would have easily fit into the 'Roots & Rhythms' format, but since I didn't host R&R this week (it airs every Wednesday at 8pm), let's just say this was half-experiment, half-tribute show, with a great bunch of tunes - all chosen by C23's first-ever live guest Greg Upshaw himself.
Please support your local musicians!
Go to shows, of course, but also go to Open Mic Nights!
You never know who you might find there.
I met Greg Upshaw at the Chateau Lafayette Open Mic (Tuesday nights).
As always, thanks for listening!
