First Crush
Friday July 29th, 2022 with Zoë Argiropulos-Hunter
With Michael C. Duguay

Hi CKCU listeners! I'm thrilled to unveil the first interview on First Crush in what feels like a thousand years. Today, I'll be in conversation with Micheal C. Duguay, an alternative country/folk artist currently based in Kingston, Ontario. Michael and I met through a mutual connection at this year's Drone Day on Wolfe Island (just a ferry ride away from Kingston) and have been chatting over email since. In our interview, we talk about the realization of his upcoming album "Saint Maybe," as well as the collaboration and environment that acted as its foundation. You can catch Michael live with Joyful Joyful as he kicks off his tour in Ottawa. He'll be playing at Red Bird next Thursday, August 4th.
