Emerging Artists
The Emerging Artist Series is a rare gem in commercial radio. This weekly program showcases a new Canadian artist, giving local talents well-deserved time on FM airwaves. Every Wednesday at 9.50 am, we introduce artist's song. Every Friday at 9.45 am, host Sarah Pearson sits down with the artists to talk about their work, journey, and their dreams, and we play their song again. It is a refreshing and engaging look into the world of independent musicians, and a wonderful way to discover new music!
