Sugar Sammy's previous name: Suave Sammy
Today on the show we interviewed Luca Somethingorother, a local musician who’s putting together the 2nd annual Ottawa Rock Lottery. It’s an event that mixes and matches local musicians to create something new, but not necessarily better - check out this story in the Xpress from last year by friend of the show Calum Marsh: http://www.ottawaxpress.ca/music/music.aspx?iIDArticle=14574
We also interviewed Sugar Sammy, the dashing comedian you see to the left of my post. He’s a Montreal-born Canadian who uses his Indian background for great comedic effect, and his unique upbringing allows him to do comedy in 4 different languages.
Unfortunately, what you didn’t hear today was the dulcet tones of my stunning co-host, Tina Hassannia. I missed last week due to illness, and Tina returned the favour - I don’t know how that’s a favour, but whatever. She was replaced with Hisham Kelati and Travis Boisvenue, but they can’t fill the void she’s left in my life this week. Get well soon, Tina.
Music:
Geoff Berner - Half German Girlfriend
Ennui - The Alphabet Song (Luca’s band)
Leif Vollebekk - In the midst of Blue & green (I think I have those colours wrong)
