Well, here I am again. Episode 53. Always growing.

On this weeks episode, I talked about some events happening locally both past and present. Did you know that
Dehli 2 Dublin will be coming back to town on November 22nd at 8:00pm?

If you had the chance to check them out at Winnipeg Folk Festival earlier this year, you'll know that they created quite a buzz for themselves going down as one of the best performances at the festival, according to those who saw them.

I had a chance to review "Strike! The Musical", earlier in the week and posted my review about my visit.

I was looking forward to checking out the First Nations Pavilion later on in the evening as part of Folklorama Week 1. You can expect my thoughts on that on Next weeks episode.

Finally, a artist I was excited to work with by the name of Zach, perhaps better known as "J-Ramz" made a visit to the show.

As you heard during this exclusive interview (his first ever), Zach has already accomplished a lot as a 17 year old who is bring "urban noise" to our cities streets.

At the age of 17, he has already been signed by a label, released a full CD, and is in the process of independently producing his second album, to be released very soon.

I was quite impressed with his ambitions, his eagerness, dedication and personal belief in his own work, and was quite fascinated by his story.

The full interview may be found in iTunes post show.

During the interview, Zach released to us his new single Come Clean. You may take a listen in our podcast, or below:
