    #53 - CEC

    CEC uniquely blends RnB and folk while writing in both English and Spanish. The Treaty One-based artist and producer’s music is distinguishable by its slow groove, intimate lyrics, and soaring vocal layers. An alum of national accelerators such as Women in the Studio and RBCxMusic First Up, they operate The Clubhouse, a co-op studio in Winnipeg with the goal of reducing barriers for underrepresented artists and producers through workshops, mentorships, and open studio days.

    #52 - Don't Cry Wolf

    Crossover episode! Braeden from Don't Cry Wolf. Don’t Cry Wolf is a media outlet focused on the Canadian underground music scene. It hopes to capture the feeling of walking into your older brother’s room in the late 90s or early 2000’s with posters on the walls, rap CDs and skateboard magazines scattered around. It strives to make the music scene feel exciting and accessible to outsiders through live events, original programming, and its variety-style show inspired by MuchMusic and 106 & Park.

    #46 - Bluebloods

    DID YOU JUST FIND YOURSELF at a warehouse party somewhere in the Midwest? Or maybe a prairie Ukrainian community hall? These rustbelt roosters keep you guessing. Manitoba-based Bluebloods play music that feels like a gaggle of hosers crashing a Mennonite Social, with groove tunes and smoky ballads that explore Manitoba’s historic strikes, urban back allies and wheat fields. Their debut album, Discount Everything, was released January 2026.
