This week, we hit you with not one but two cool local acts, Andrew Allen and The Reckoners!

Remember when all air travel to and from Europe ground to a halt because of that pesky Icelandic volcano? The one no one could pronounce? Well, local crooner Andrew Allen certainly does. He was one of the many travelers stranded in the airport waiting to see if he would be able to get to his gig in the UK. And what does any self-respecting artist do in that situation? He writes a song about it!

Ricardo Khayatte met Christina Simpson, the other half of The Reckoners, while playing the guitar after a nice dinner while on a ski weekend. They make beautiful music together and are one of Vancouver’s best kept secrets.

Catch them first here on my show!
