The guest is Matt Wallace and his topic is a new winter music series called “NDMOA Downtown.” The series will be patterned after the successful “Summer Concerts in the Garden Series.”

The first performance is next Tuesday, October 13th at the Empire Arts Center – featuring Ben Capland and the “Casual Smokers.” During our chat, I played a cut from the CBC “Q” program – where host Jean Ghomeshi featured the singer (2013).
