Colleen Brown
Colleen Brown's Dirt, that is the name of the new album by Edmonton's Colleen Brown and it has been getting rave reviews. Colleen has been getting compared to people like Joni Mitchell and Carole King but I would say Colleen has a voice all of her own. Colleen and her band dropped by the Drive Studio mid tour and the band was tight and confident in their performances.

David Myles
On this Up Close session David Myles brings us back to the feel of the 80's with his free spirited "Simple Pleasures" and covers a Gene MacLellan song that Ann Murray made famous. And no, its not Snow Bird.

Joshua Hyslop
I know that artists sometimes hate comparisons but when I first heard Joshua Hyslop I thought of Damien Rice. They both write beautiful, heartfelt songs that seemed to be based in deep introspection. Then when Joshua showed up at the studio with a cellist and violinist I thought, yeah that is something Damien Rice would do for sure. Check out Joshua Hyslop live in the Up Close Studio on this week's Up Close podcast.

Royal Wood
Royal Wood's new CD is titled We Were Born To Glory and it just hit shelves and e-retailers everywhere this week. We had the pleasure of having Royal Wood, his band, a string section and special guest Sarah Slean in the Up Close studio for a special live-off-the-floor session that includes music from this new CD as well as one of Royal Wood's old favourites.

The Songs of Kate McGarrigle
Today on the Up Close podcast we get to spend some time with Canadian Music Royalty. Anna McGarrigle, Lilly Lanken and Rufas and Martha Wainwright were at Massey Hall a few weeks back celebrating the legacy of Kate McGarrigle with a concert called “Love Over and Over - The songs of Kate McGarrigle”. Just before that concert they dropped by the Up Close studio for this special performance.
