She has played bass in many projects throughout the years, recorded on multiple records, graced an endless number of stages all across the country and overseas. Melissa Walker is one of the hardest working musicians out there who puts an incredible amount of care in every song she learns and performs.

We are stoked to showcase Kristian Janzen on the Northern Static Series. Kristian is an indie artist from Prince George, BC. who gravitates toward the raw, bedroom-recorded sound of artists like Current Joys and Alex G. His music is emotionally driven, slightly nostalgic, and built around guitar, drums, and synth textures that feel intimate and unfiltered.

Our special guest today hails from Fort St. John, on Treaty 8 territory. A storyteller and lover of sad songs, she delivers performances that are at once contemplative and clever. Through her long-standing presence in our regional music scene as a solo artist, as well as one half of former folk-duo Twin Peaks, crafting music has become more than her trade. It is a way to process life, a way to send a searching hand out through the mists of a melody and connect with the world. We are honoured to welcome Naomi Shore to our airwaves for this episode of the Northern Static Series!
