Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is an artist who's always expressed what's most important to him through his songs. He's also been incredibly meticulous throughout his career, taking care to build a unique and heartfelt connection to his audience and striving to create an unforgettable live setting for his music. He's elevated the sharing of live music to a high art in itself — whether it's inviting Calgary Folk Fest goers to join him at picnic tables to eat pie in the sun, taking to the stage with 300 backing singers at the Jubilee Auditorium or, as we hear him in this particular setting, going into his Farm Tour mode to immerse audience and performer alike in a whisper-quiet, impossibly intimate moment of musical expression. Although his brand-new album Horizon Lines contains colossal hooks, massive production flourishes, and the trademark sense of pop music maximalism that has always made MBF's work so exhilarating. Although, the heart of his songcraft, as ever, lies in his voice and his guitar. That's the sensibility that he foregrounds during his very intimate Farm Tours, which is the very mode in which we caught up with him for this Hidden Track Session in CKUA's Live Performance Space in Edmonton. Just ahead of the September 27th release of Horizon Lines, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald played beautifully hushed, solo acoustic renditions of the title track, first single “After a While”, and MBF staple “Good Plates”. He also shared some insight behind where the songs mugs come from, the inspiration he draws from his burgeoning family, and just exactly what a Farm Tour is all about.

We discuss the importance of the elections taking place today with Reggie Cecchini, Global News Washington Correspondent. Next, Astronomers have observed what is being described as "the sun smiling" in recent pictures. Could this signal a warning for us ‘earthlings'?

We begin with a look at the continuing conversation surrounding the increasing cost of living – from fuel – to food - to housing. While the terms ‘inflation' and ‘shrinkflation' are nothing new - do you know what ‘greedflation' is? We get the definition from Janet Music, of the “Agri-Food Analytics Lab” at Dalhousie University. Then, we take a look at the Bank of Canada interest rate hike, what this means for homeowners and the Canadian housing market in general. We get insight from Phil Soper, President and CEO of Royal LePage. Rising interest rates and inflation have forced many of us to take on more debt and we're not alone. We speak with Jake Fuss from the ‘Fraser Institute' for details on how the current economic climate impacts ‘federal debt' levels and what this means to the average Canadian. Finally, it's a taste of Broadway, right here in Calgary! We speak with Marja Harmon, one of the stars of the smash-hit musical “Hamilton” – now playing at the Jubilee Auditorium.

Alberta's Alee brings her fresh up tempo style and sound to listeners across the world, redefining Country music -- and with a strong musical background, she has the goods to back it up. A singer-songwriter-musician-entertainer regarded for her musicianship, the strength of her original songs, and charismatic performance, Alee has the versatility of a veteran performer with the ability to take her songs from full band down to a simple acoustic performance, varying each show from the preceding one, in an essence described by her audiences as engaging, passionate and authentic. Her ability to entertain is reflected with performances and accolades which span festivals including Big Valley Jamboree, Carlton Trail Jamboree, Westerner Days, Capital Ex, Canadian Finals Rodeo, among shows on Edmonton's Winspear stage and The Jubilee Auditorium as well as performing for charity/gala events and other western Canadian venues, while growing recognition to the East and south to Nashville. Her new album is called Bad Habit and features the new single "When I Do".
After spending his teens and most of his 20s playing in rock bands, Ontario's TERRY FERNIHOUGH made a decision to quit, and put his energy into what he really loved, which was writing songs. Terry explains that he was "too rock for country in the 80s, and too country for rock." Then everything changed. Some called it "New Country", some called it "Country Rock". Terry just called it good music. As time has moved forward, his tastes have broadened even further into more traditional country, folk, and even contemporary country, which has moved even farther away from its traditional base. He feels very fortunate to write with some of the most talented artists on the Canadian country music scene. These artists have been nominated for CCMA Awards, ECMAs, provincial country music awards in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, and two of them are even Juno nominees. Terry will talk about songwriting and will share two of his songs recorded by Canadian country artists Donny Parenteau & Sarah Beth Keeley. MELODY LOVEJOY is a country recording artist and songwriter based in Edmonton, Alberta. Influenced by her love of rock driven music and her country roots, Melody’s voice combines the smoky overtones of a rock diva with the clear emotion of a country songstress to bring a punchy, yet emotionally connected performance. Melody has performed on stages as small as your living room and as large as the Jubilee Auditorium. Notable performances include the 2010 Grey Cup Huddle Town Stage, The Honda Indy Ultimate Street Party and the Taste of Edmonton. Her debut album is set to release soon with the lead single I'm Letting Go which will hit Canadian Country radio on September 16th!
