Program Directory

Indie Rock

  • Anthems For Wallflowers

    If you want to feel like the main char­ac­ter of an indie movie… keep lis­ten­ing. This show fea­tures a vari­ety of gen­res includ­ing indie pop, indie rock and punk rock. 


  • At Large

    The focus of the show is on music that has been record­ed over the last 50 years. It will include music that is loud or qui­et, soft or hard, local or dis­tant, pop­u­lar or obscure, elec­tric or acoustic, com­plex or sim­ple. The string that will tie it all togeth­er could be instru­men­ta­tion, lyrics, tim­ing, song­writ­ing, genre, feel.

    Enjoy.

  • Expansive Prairie Skies

    Expan­sive Prairie Skies draws inspi­ra­tion from the wide open vis­tas that sur­round Win­nipeg.

    Con­tem­po­rary clas­si­cal and actu­al clas­si­cal.
    Avant-garde and musique con­crete.
    Noise and ambi­ent music.
    Jazz and more jazz.
    The host pro­vides the son­ic stratos­phere,
    the music does the talk­ing, you do the dreaming.

    So sit back,

    dance around,

    draw some stuff,

    crush on that girl or boy, they’re prob­a­bly not who you think they are,

    go for a walk, decide to talk, 

    you’re dri­ving around, smok­ing those sticks,

    give some time to rethink those bricks,

    and have a fun thought in the mid­dle of the continent.


    Cheers!
