Life is Good Today

Awesome song, awesome blog title!

Last week, I was on Wednesday hosting duties because I took part in Girls Rock Saskatoon's All Grown Up Camp starting Friday evening. It was amazing. Youth and adults can get so much out of this wonderful organization.

The show was a busy one, as Allyson Reigh from Rosie and the Riveters was in with her 10-year-old friend Marley, who will be joining the trio on stage at their Bassment shows on May 11 and 12! It was such a pleasure to speak to them both!

At 5:30, the delightful Sylvia Chave was in to talk about her upcoming final performance in her 2018-2019 concert series and some other projects. I also sang (yes, me) for the first time on the air, as I accompanied her on her sweet song about flying kites.

Surprise

This past Friday, April 19 was definitely GOOD!

I hosted my regular Buzz show, but also filled in on the Royal Canadian Music Parade at 4 pm. Was a fun couple of hours.

During the Buzz, I chatted with Gone Cosmic, a sweet-ass Calgary band composed of former members of ChronGoblin, The Torchettes, and Witchstone! What a blast and blend of talent they are.

I won't be in my normal show slot this week, however, I will be on air for the Wednesday Buzz where I'll be chatting with members of Rosie and the Riveters at 5pm, then Sylvia Chave at 5:30!

The reason I won't be able to host during my normal time this week is because I was fortunate enough to get a spot in Girls Rock Saskatoon's All Grown Up camp. I'm so excited to learn some awesome and fun skills and bond with other music loving femmes! We're having a showcase of our newly acquired skills on Sunday:
