True Love Knows

Hello!

Well, it's the first week of FM-Phasis and we're off to an awesome start. We had a great weekend at the sold out Sheepdogs show, and have even more shows coming up - read all about it here! 

I have to say, I feel really fortunate to be a part of this amazing radio station, and this great community. It's my sixth year in the city and most of that time I've also been a part of CFCR!

I hope to raise at least $960 for the station and am well on my way there! I appreciate any and all support I get from listeners and pals.

Just an FYI - you can donate to FM-Phasis here, and if you so happen to want to support  my show, it's easy to indicate - Thursday's Green Eggs and Ham from 6-8 am! You get all sorts of awesome perks for donating, including being entered into some great prize draws and picking from our bevvy of awesome gift certificates and other goodies.

We've Got It

HI FOLKS!

How I have missed and thought about thee regularly.

Life has been busy, with great life developments, and awesome family vacations and occasions occurring. I was also away for a couple weeks, as indicated below. As always, an awesome fellow host stepped in during my break! What a great community of volunteers we've got here. :) Below are the playlists for the last few weeks - including June 30, July 7, 14 and 21, and August 11 and 18.

Now that the busy summer months are (kind of) winding down, I should be more prompt in keeping you lovely listeners up to date. I had a fellow call today during my show to ask about a song I had played last week, and it was a stark reminder - hey Kathy, get back on it!

Without further adieu:

Today was a good day in radio. I wasn't feeling super chatty, but that's okay! It's about the music. :)

Also, I played Angel Olsen today. Her performance here in Saskatoon the other day was nothing short of stunning. She had the crowd at Amigos pin-drop quiet at several points, which at a typically chat-filled establishment, is rare. She is a swoon-worthy crooner, for certain.

Well, dat's it for another week. Lots of great music coming up, and as always, you can use our handy events page to keep up-to-date!

Until June 30,

Who Says (MoSo) Dreams Don't Come True?

 How's it going? Good I hope. Another Thursday has come, but this one is special - MoSo starts today!

In case you're not familiar, it is a conference and music festival that centres around the artistic epicentre of our city - namely the Broadway Avenue region. There's lots of cool changes this year, like Free Community talks which are sure to be riveting, the sweet free stage, and a powerful handful of speakers.

All of today's artists are going to be performing on stages over the course of the next four days. If you want to view the whole schedule of goodness, it is available here (and it's printable too!) I had some double shots in there for ya.
