    A Family on Music, Drumming, and Choosing Groove Academy

    This episode, we welcome one of our youngest students — a drummer under the age of eight — into the studio, along with both of his parents. It's a heartwarming conversation about what music looks like through the eyes of a child, and through the eyes of a family that's made it part of their lives. We talk about how he got into drumming, what he loves about playing, and why his parents chose Groove Academy when it came time to start lessons. They also share why music matters so much to their whole family — the joy it brings, the confidence it builds, and the moments it creates together. Whether you're a parent thinking about lessons for your own child or just love hearing how a passion for music takes root early, this is a warm and uplifting listen for the whole family.

    Chris Frayer on 50 Years of the Winnipeg Folk Festival

    This episode, we're joined by Chris Frayer, Artistic Director of the Winnipeg Folk Festival, for a conversation about one of Canada's most beloved music festivals. Chris has helped shape the festival for two decades, and he sits down with us to reflect on its remarkable 50-year journey. We talk about what it took to reach this milestone, how the festival has evolved over five decades, and what keeps drawing tens of thousands of people to Birds Hill Park every summer. Chris also shares his perspective on nurturing new talent through the Young Performers Program — now in its 25th year — and where he sees the next generation of folk artists coming from. Whether you're a lifelong folkie, a young musician dreaming of the stage, or just curious about what goes into building a festival that lasts, this is a warm and insightful look behind the scenes from someone who's lived it.

She shares how she got started, what her lessons have taught her, and what it's been like growing as a performer. We get into her experience on stage, how she handles the nerves and the spotlight, and the moment she found out she'd won. She also opens up about what music genuinely means to her, and shares a few of her own vocal tips for other young singers just starting out. It's an honest, inspiring conversation about passion, practice, and the confidence that comes from putting in the work — a great listen for any young musician, or the parents cheering them on.
