The project known as 'Revival' is a creative outpouring by folk artist Ru Rose. Revival showcases a deeply sincere full length conceptual debut album of 12 original sacred folk songs recorded Live-Off-The-Forest-Floor in the mountains of the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sinixt and Ktunaxa nations, also known as the Kootenays of British Columbia. Interwoven with the songs of the album is a series of 12 intricate paintings created with hand-made inks, dyes and paints.
With deep gratitude for the support of Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia in making this creation possible

More About the Artist / Album:
Ru Rose sings, catches songs, and plays acoustic guitar, shruti box, and native drum to accompany her voice within the Sinixt tum-ula7xw of British Columbia. She is a devoted mother to a son & daughter, an off-grid mountain homesteader, an intricate esoteric artist, a contemplative writer of existential seasonal musings, and a re-wilding Creatrix inspired by growing regenerative culture. Ru shares her intimate journey of creating, homesteading, and cyclical living as a woman and mother upon a mountain with community on Patreon.
With love for the Creative and the rhythms of the seasons, and life as ceremony, the album ‘Revival’ was recorded outdoors live-off-the-forest-floor to the tuning of 432Hz. With each song of the album recorded, Ru was either pregnant or had her infant daughter sleeping upon her. Her devoted partner Kai Cabodyna helped hold the fruition with sound recording, videography, instrumentation of drum, bass, and banjo, and holding roles of father and partner. Their talented son would add steadiness with a drum and the sweetness of his voice, while musical friends would accompany this muse upon violin, native flute, strings and support vocals.. as well as the birds, insects, squirrels and elementals weaving in their magic of the moment.
The songs that Ru has midwifed into this world are a prayer for this Earth, they hold her grief and her praise and encompass the grounded and initiatory journey of building a house and homestead from the ground up. The songs of Ru Rose are a precious treasure, a somatic experience and call to be shared for the future generations to come. Her haunting, quivering, mountain-folk voice and visionary lyrics call you to remember, and to come home to this sacred Earth.

Stephen Fearing & The Sentimentals

Stephen Fearing & The Sentimentals Revered Canadian songwriter Stephen Fearing and the award-winning Scandinavian indie-folk band The Sentimentals share a mutual passion for crafting evocative melodies and refined musical interplay that leave audiences cheering. Combining their shared admiration for classic Tin Pan Alley songwriting and storytelling with richly textured soundscapes, they have forged a singular musical voice that is authentic and refreshingly inventive. Since joining forces in 2018, Stephen Fearing & The Sentimentals have lit up stages across Europe and Canada, delivering performances defined by an unforgettable blend of masterful songwriting and intricate musicianship. This collaboration is beautifully captured on Fearing’s 2022 album Vejpoesi (road poems), where The Sentimentals’ instrumentation deepens the emotional resonance of Fearing’s lyrics and melodies. Recorded in just three days at Maskinhallen, a theater in Frederikshavn, Denmark, these sessions reveal The Sentimentals’ extraordinary ability to reimagine and elevate Fearing’s seasoned material. Together, Stephen Fearing & The Sentimentals have created a rich musical expression focussed on artistic exploration. Their partnership seamlessly weaves traditional roots influences with subtle experimentation, resulting in performances and recordings that are both emotionally stirring and artistically groundbreaking.

Radio Free Kaslo, February 21, 2025

A big shout out to the Donald Trump regime for encouraging me to ensure that from here on in, ALL musical programming on Radio Free Kaslo will be curated according to the following criteria:

1. When humanly possible (this is an AI-free show), make it Canadian!

2. If not, anything but American, thanks very much.

I do this regretfully — the USA is of course full of amazing musicians, not all of whom support in any way their current government's actions — in fact I suspect most don't.

Until things change, c'est la vie. My SOCAN ratings are going to go through the roof!

The main upside (for me, at least) is that I am already discovering homegrown talent I either hadn't heard or played in a long while, or, even worse, had no clue existed. I'm delighted to bring them to your attention. Today's playlist includes songs by:

— Juno Award-winner Sarah Harmer

— Nova Scotia's Joel Plaskett

— Guelph, Ontario's Constantines

— Montreal's Stars

— Winnipeg's The Weakerthans

— Halifax's Thrush Hermit

Today, world-class, all-Canadian indie pop. Next week? Stay tuned!

Enjoy, 'eh!

Radio Free Kaslo, February 14, 2025

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day. I hope love, in some (healthy) form or another is an integral part of your day today. I mean, if not now, when, right?

Including love of one's hometown. And on that topic, a big shout out to Kaslo's local council for doing the right thing and putting the brakes on a potentially disastrous proposal to pave paradise, and slap a huge strata RV park onto a prime pice of land on the south bank of the Kaslo River.

Speaking of love, I'd like to thank Donald Trump, on behalf of all Canadians regardless of political stripe, for viscerally reminding us how much we love this country. And for jolting me into realizing we may need to look elsewhere for friends we can trust, friends with whom we share crucial values — and geography.

Welcome, Bienvenue, Välkommen, Velkommen, Velkomin, Velkomst, Tervetula to the DNA, folks — that would, of course, be the Democratic Northern Alliance, made up of Canada, Iceland, Greenland (and with it, Denmark), Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

DNA has to be one of my best brainchildren ever. And it's all thanks to our increasingly obnoxious southern neighbour's Great Leader.

I love it!
