Perhaps the most unique and engigmatic artist to emerge from Kingston over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic has been FASTFAST: the experimental side project of professional composer and multi-instrumental musician, James Mulvale. In our 40th episode, James shares the origin of FASTFAST, and how his rediscovery and renewed appreciation of microtonal tuning has reignited his passion for making music.

For some artists, the COVID-19 pandemic meant an end to not just performing their music, but to the creative act of making music together. For The Gertrudes, however, the social distance and resulting social issues reignited the collective's spark of creativity. The result is a new full-length album set for release in November 2021 on Wolfe Island Records. Hosts Riley and Sideshow visit The Gertrudes' Kingston rehearsal space for an in depth discussion about their inspiration, their creative process, and their new release, Emergency to Emergency.

At the outset of the pandemic—a year after her finalist performance at the YGK Emerging Musician Competition showcase with musical partner, Michael Broadhead—Kingston jazz-folk artist, Savannah Shea, set music aside. After a period of personal reflection and personal relationships, Shea returned to music in 2021, releasing the stripped-down EP, The Day Of, and most recently, a three-song EP, Winter Magnolia, that exposes her expanded sonic palette. Hosts Johnny and Reid join Savannah Shea in Kingston's Lake Ontario Park for an outdoor interview covering everything from bucket lists and life balance to personal growth and performing live music once again, plus an intimate performance of a brand new, untitled song.
