Portico's Wordplay

Take a listen to this week's CBC Radio 3 Podcast, which is a special called Wordplay, and you'll hear Portico's Sincerely. It's included there in the company of Great Lake Swimmers, Luke Doucet and Chad VanGaalen, and rightly so. Next step: Go buy a copy of the CD from Portico's webpage, or right here

Website Updates

Shows for August and September are now up. There's now a proper Artisans page, so please take a look. The Music page now has a full listing of all Copperpsine full-length releases, and that page will become a real sales page very soon.

Dyad on CBC, 30th July 8pm

Listen to Dyad in concert on the CBC. Next Wednesday evening, Dyad's performance from last year's Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival will be included in Hour 1 of Canada Live on CBC Radio 2. That's 8pm for local broadcasts in all Canadian Time Zones (except Newfoundland itself, where it will be on at 8.30pm). It's probably also available on the Internet, but I'm not guessing what time zone that will correspond to.

Then, if you're in or near Montreal, go and see Dyad live at the Festival La Grande Rencontre, August 9th and 10th.

Summer Festivals

• Portico at Sled Island Festival
• Dyad at La Grande Rencontre

Two opportunities coming up to see Copperspine artists if you live outside BC. Portico will be playing the Sled Island Festival in Calgary this Thursday. Catch them at the Science Centre at 7pm, where they'll be sharing the stage with Chad Vangaalen. To get a preview, visit Portico's store HERE, or buy digital downloads from Zunior or iTunes.

A bit further away, and a bit longer away, Dyad will be playing Festival La Grande Rencontre in Montreal from 8th to 10th August. This an annual festival of folk an traditional music, and this year's theme is Fiddling for the People, so who better than Dyad to play.
