In this episode of The Spotlight, we explore music and literary culture in Hamilton.

Executive Editor Andrew Mrozowski sits down with Hamilton-based McMaster band droning to talk about how they came together, their experience with Battle of the Bands, and what’s next for the group, including upcoming performances.

Then, CFMU’s Program Director Jamie Tennant speaks with Jessica Rose, Artistic Director of the gritLIT Festival, about what audiences can expect from this year’s event and how the festival continues to celebrate storytelling and literary voices in Hamilton.
