Serena Wu is a multilingual singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia, whose pop-driven music blends relatable, emotional lyrics with upbeat percussion and catchy melodies. Her latest single, Étranger (French for "Stranger"), is available on all streaming platforms, along with an official music video. Produced, recorded, and mixed by award-winning collaborator Daniel Ledwell, the track explores the intrigue and uncertainty of falling for someone while questioning who they truly are. It starts with a staccato ukulele riff and quickly expands into a lively arrangement featuring soulful, funk-infused instrumentation. A playful bassline, shimmering guitar riffs, and a vibrant brass section provide an exciting backdrop for Serena's dynamic voice and textured harmonies. Serena performed with Ashley MacIsaac at the 2021 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo and in Halifax for the 2022 Acadian National Day, where she joined him on his hit Sleepy Maggie. Last November, she was featured among artists presented by Acadian Embassy at Nova Scotia Music Week in Yarmouth, NS. Recently, she's been working on new original songs, showcased live at venues like the Seahorse Tavern and the Emerge Festival with her band. Étranger is the first in a series of new releases from Serena Wu, with songs in both French and English. On October 16th, she released the official video for this debut single, directed by James Turpin. Another new track, also produced by Daniel Ledwell, is set for release in the New Year.

I say a fond farewell to French pop star Françoise Hardy, who died this week at age 80. She was such a beautiful woman and was one of the main cover girls in Europe in the early 1960s. It's also Bloomsday on Sunday, so I've added a couple of Joycean references. Also featured new music from the July issue of Songlines magazine, and there were a load of new releases from all over the world on top of that. I added as many as possible! Also concert previews (Teddy Thompson on Sunday at The Rogue Folk Club, Missy Raines on Monday at the Anza Club, plus festival previews and a few tracks from Shooglenifty, too.) Oh, and a couple of tunes from Cape Breton fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, who performs in Coquitlam today at Scotfest.

Sparkle. It's exactly what Civil Wray does on her brand-new single, appropriately entitled “Sparkle”. Civil Wray, the nom de plume of Toronto singer songwriter Andrea de Boer, worked with producer Matt DeMatteo (Danko Jones, Big Wreck, Ashley MacIsaac) in creating an ethereal, dreampop song, that may remind listeners of artists like Fiona Apple, David Bowie, and Tame Impala. It's a song about …

"Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands," by Kate Beaton, tells the story of working in Alberta's tar sands, along with thousands of others from her native Cape Breton. Credit: Courtesy of Drawn and Quarterly It is an age-old story — leaving home for work to build a better future for yourself and your family.It's a story that graphic novelist Kate Beaton knows well. Beaton is from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and her story took her almost clear across Canada, more than 3,000 miles west to northern Alberta, to join thousands of others who also left their homes for a better economic future.Her latest book, a graphic novel, is "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands."Beaton joined The World's host Marco Werman to talk about her compelling personal story of working in the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta, where these boom economies have led to tremendous environmental and human cost. Growing up in Cape Breton, Beaton said that she wasn't aware of the tar sands when she was very small. "It was a place that people started going to in the '80s and '90s, but not in the numbers that made a real difference until maybe the late '90s, when it really started booming," she said."And then everybody started going. And they were running news stories around here about how, you know, the streets were emptying and the classrooms had empty desks because they were gone to the oil sands." Marco Werman: Symbolically, you kind of illustrate that with the empty chairs around the dining tables in Cape Breton. Kate Beaton: But that's not new here. We have had many generations of labor migration to wherever the engines of capitalism have been running to, to the Boston States' auto factories booming in the 70s, and in Ontario and Detroit, a mining boom in Sudbury.So the "Boston States," is that what Cape Bretoners call the US? Or New England, specifically?It's kind of New England. They would land around Boston and they'd call it the Boston States. Yeah, I had a grand aunt who worked as a maid, for instance, in a mansion in Boston. But that was the place to go for work. And they would work there and they'd send money home. And that pattern would repeat wherever the big job booms were. And I sort of fell in step with a pattern that had been going on and on for all this time. I thought nothing of going to the oil sands because people have been doing this where I'm from for so long."Ducks" takes place mostly in Alberta, but you often take readers back to Cape Breton in the book. Almost like a dream. Like one minute you're in the industrial work camp, the next you have your feet in the sand of a pristine beach, almost like your body and mind are in two places at once. What do you think is the long-term effect on workers being split like that? How did it affect you?Oh, it had a big effect on me, for sure. You were split. And so most of your life is in this work camp, where you are not living as your full self. You're cut off from things and you're counting down the days to when you're home. And when you're in the camp, you're isolated. And the sense of being totally outside of society is a very real feeling, that you're the shadow population.The book is called "Ducks," and the meaning is revealed later on in the book when the international news media picks up the story that hundreds of migratory ducks were killed after they landed in one of these tailing ponds at one of these mining sites. Why was that moment so meaningful to you that you decided to give this book the title "Ducks"?Well, the metaphor is apt. These were migratory animals who landed in a pond that they thought was a safe space, that they thought was natural. And it ended up being toxic. It was a dangerous place for them to land. And you could make the same argument for some of the people who landed there. This incident with the ducks was the first time that I saw the oil sands on national and international news. You know, you could sort of see the eyes of the world taking a look at the oil sands or going, "Oh, God, that's bad," you know, "We don't like that." These ducks all died. And I had seen people die — 2008 was a particularly bad year for accidents on Highway 63, which was nicknamed the Highway of Death. The graphic novel, "Ducks: Two Years in the Oils Sands," by Kate Beaton, tells the compelling personal story of leaving home in Cape Breton to work in Alberta's tar sands. Credit: Courtesy of Drawn and Quarterly And that's a highway that connects some of the living areas with these mines?Yes, that's right. It's the highway that goes from Edmonton to to Fort McMurray. And also, at the same time, there is a part of the book where a Cree elder, Celina Harpe, is talking about how there is increased incidences of cancer, rare cancers in the Indigenous communities around Fort McMurray. And the response to that is sort of — silence. But the ducks got all this attention because of maybe how cinematic it was. And so that always stuck with me. That the human cost went under the radar.Homesickness is a major theme of your book, and one way it manifests is through music, I noticed. Cape Breton has so much great music, trad-modern fiddlers like Natalie MacMaster and Ashley MacIsaac. We asked you for a song that brought back feelings of home when you were away in Alberta. Who are we hearing and why does this music resonate with you? You're hearing John Allan Cameron sing "Headed for Halifax." He's singing about leaving Cape Breton for work. "I'm heading for Halifax to see what's to spare in the way of some work. And if there's nothing there, then it's Toronto out West or God only knows where." That was true before I was born. It's true now. You know, I listened to this growing up and I knew, that's going to be me. And it was. This is the life in Cape Breton. But he's he's also singing, you know, "Wherever I go, there's bound to be someone from home," because that is also true. Wherever the work is, we're all going. We're going together.

I was about 15 years old when Ashley MacIsaac had a fiddle tune in the top 10 popular music charts in Canada. He shot to fame with a previously unseen look in the roots music community - combat boots and sunglasses. While his ride has been rocky at times, at heart he's a charismatic Cape Bretoner with lots of stories to tell and fiddle tunes to write. I also break out an original of my own, for the bagpipes, to get Ashley's opinion on it.

In this episode, we are going to be joined by one of the more colourful characters to ever grace Canada's music charts. Our guest is as well known for his awe-inspiring talents on the fiddle as he is for the strange stories and controversy scattered throughout his 30 year career. If you followed Canadian music in the 90s, you know Ashley Macisaac. His 1995 album 'Hi how are you today' went double platinum and in the process helped bring about a sort of renaissance for the fiddle and Celtic music. This episode however won't be about Ashley Macissac's impact on popular music and it won't be about his various public relations missteps that shocked and appalled many of his more traditional fans. Ashley MacIsaac is joining me here on Nighttime to speak publicly for the first time about something very personal and very important to him. UFOs are, and have been, a part of his life since childhood. Buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride through the strange world of Ashley MacIsaac.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Matthew McKnight emailed a correction: "Gday, I love your podcast. I have only recently discovered it as I get my head wrapped around ever evolving technologies. I have Celtic ancestry, grew up in Australia, and feel so connected with my heritage when i listen to your show. I like the Celtic Rain track in your latest podcast and discovered a typo/problem with the link to their website. The link address should be celticrainmusic.com. Hope this helps in the future." Jeremy Graves emailed "Hi, Marc! I've been listening to your show for just a few weeks, but I really love it! I started listening to stay awake while feeding my now three-month-old late at night; my wife and I take shifts. As a linguist working with an indigenous group in Mexico, I really enjoy songs sung in the Celtic languages, and would love to hear more on the show! Thanks for your work! (PS I bought a Stonecircle album today, which I first heard on the podcast)." Charlton Allen asked: "What is indie Celtic?" Brooks Smith emailed on Patreon: "Hi Mark, Thanks for all the work you to do running this podcast! I don't really have any Irish heritage, but I discovered Celtic music when a friend dragged me to a contra dance in Vermont with the band Crowfoot several years ago. I love the genre, and your podcast is a great way to keep up with some of the new music that comes out. I typically listen while working during the day (I'm a structural engineer in Melbourne, Australia), and I'll have Spotify open as I do, marking songs as favourites on there as they catch my ear. I'll usually later on go listen to the rest of an artist's catalogue if I've favourited something by them. I've found a few new favourite artists that way - West of Eden, Heather Dale, Childsplay, Skipinnish. Anyway, I'm gradually working my way through your back catalogue of episodes, but one sub-group I've not heard much of yet is Cape Breton artists: Barra MacNeils, Rawlins Cross, Rankin Family, Ashley MacIsaac, and Natalie MacMaster are some of my other favourite Celtic bands! Cheers!"
He was called the Godfather of Celtic Music in Canada. This is episode 14 of Caffe Lena: 60 Years of Song. Thank you to Sarah at the Caffe for compiling the list of artists and songs. Born into a musical family in 1938 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, John Allan Cameron went on to bring the music of his roots to people around the world. With a career that spanned 40 years, Mr. Cameron made a significant contribution to the music industry in Canada, paving the way for such artists as Ashley MacIsaac, The Rankins, Great Big Sea, and Natalie MacMaster. In addition, John Allan Cameron was known for his appearances on "Singalong Jubilee" in the 1960s, and hosting a couple of his own television series. He released 10 albums in his lifetime, and even performed at the Grand Ole Opry in 1970. Born to a Scottish emigre mother and a Navy veteran machinist father, Heather Pierson's early life was filled with all kinds of music, from rock and pop to folk and more. But it was the piano that captured her

This Ep: Super Special Pursuit Guest Allan Reid - President & CEO - CARAS, The JUNO Awards & MusiCounts GA tries hard to act nonchalant and professional as he hosts this week's conversation with Allan Reid. Not only is he the President & CEO of The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Music Counts charity & a "little" thing called The JUNO Awards [that's the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Awards for our non-Canadian friends!] but "AR" used to be THE A&R man ["Artists & repertoire"] at A&M Records [now Universal Music Canada] & was "instrumental" in the careers of artists such as Ashley MacIsaac, Hawksley Workman, Hedley, Sam Roberts, The Tragically Hip, Sarah Harmer & more. He was also responsible for signing...you guessed it, Jann Arden, to a life changing record deal! Big deal...the real question is can this renaissance record man actually help us in the #RelentlessPursuit of Jann Arden? Listen for the answer to that question along with anecdotes about Jann, Johnny Reid, Gord Bamford & The JUNOS in this all new episode! Caution: Exceedingly uplifting & excellent episode. Listeners subject to bouts of euphoria & excitement. Musically speaking.

Hugo Rampen is the director behind the new Revelstoke Axis Mundi festivals, which starts with the Axis Mundi Harvest festival September 18–20 featuring Ashley MacIsaac as the biggest name announced so far. The Revelstoke Mountaineer explored the new festival in a Mar. 26 story. This week, we sat down with director Hugo Rampen, who joins the new Revelstoke festival offering after many years in charge of the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues festival. Rampen talked about the vision for the festival, which is much more than just a live music show. Multi-venue performances are planned for downtown Revelstoke, for example. Rampen plans to integrate outdoor adventure, culture, environmental themes and community-driven initiatives into a cutting edge overall festival package. The fall Axis Mundi Harvest festival is one of two; the spring Axis Mundi Solstice will have a slightly different take. The Mountaineer sat with Rampen for this audio interview below on April 21, where he elaborated on his plans, and talked about his deep background as a music organizer.

OK, so the SAW has slipped to a schedule that might be more aptly termed 'occasional', but we're still determined to get caught up. For this week, Chris cuts it up with a KLF/JAMs/Timelords-inspired dance number containing little other than drum loops and samples from other sources (and some other synths to round things out). The samples included come from CDs by Consolidated, Shawn Colvin, Ashley MacIsaac and Leonard Cohen. How's that for an eclectic mix?
