This week on Folk Routes - a moving and inspirational conversation with Order of Canada Tom Jackson. Tom is known as a Singer/Songwriter/activist and champion for those in need. Tom joins Tom Coxworth (host of Folk Routes Sundays 10-noon) at 11am to talk about these changing times as they launch their virtual Huron Carole series. This year will be the 33rd year of The Huron Carole and during that time they have given over $200 million to the benefit of many in Canada.... CKUA Radio Network

Just gorgeous. Take some time to watch this lovely interview with Matthew Byrne. Matthew's live stream is tonight at 8pm - get your tickets now at Matthewbyrne.net Born into a family of Newfoundland music makers, Matthew Byrne’s repertoire is heavily influenced by that unique musical lineage the weaving of a great story with a beautiful melody and he supports this tradition with powerful vocals, polished guitar work, and a presence that fills the room. His repertoire transcends time and place and his live performance reminds us how satisfying traditional songs can be when stripped down to their basic elements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lchBFZib5p0&feature=emb_logo
