MALLORY CHIPMAN

We are kicking off Season 4 with the YEG musical legend Mallory Chipman. From soft beautiful folk songs, to angsty protest rock, to classical jazz Mallory has it all in her discography. We chat about her 2024 album "Songs To A Wild God"...one of the more folky albums, some of her songs based on bird calls, and her experimental rock project "Mallory Chipman and The Mystics". With all her work in the Edmonton music community, Mallory has had the opportunity to connect with tons of other artists in the city and she shares with us some songs from Brett Hansen, Cynthia Hamar, and Loud In The Pines.

SEASON 3 FINALE

It's that time of year again where one season ends...and another begins. THIS IS THE SEASON 3 FINALE OF BACKGROUND NOISE! Clocking in at over 3,150 all-time downloads across the world, I can't thank you enough for tuning in over the past 3 years. This show is proud to air on Big E Radio, so for today's special episode, we chat with fellow curator and YEG Classical Music legend, Tammy Jo. Of course, we chat about Tammy's show, Maple Infused Classical Breakfast, which airs on Big E Radio every Saturday Morning at 11 AM MST, but we also talk about the work she does with various ensembles and choirs around Edmonton. Over the summer, she held concerts at her local church featuring The Mbira Renaissance Band, Jessica Heine, and Maria Dunn... which we hear a couple of tunes from.

LILA GRAY

Scared of the Dark? There's no need to be with the Vancouver Indie-Pop Icon Lila Gray! Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Audio Producer/Engineer...Lila does it all, and she tells all. We chat about her latest album, Scared of the Dark (You Should Be Too), collaborations with other artists, and music videos.

THIRTEEN GOATS

Esplicito
CAUTION: THIS EPISODE MAY CAUSE A MOSH PIT TO OPEN UP IN YOUR LIVING ROOM! We chat with the extreme metal band from Vancouver, Thirteen Goats. Their riffs are heavy, and so is the lore they have created about their mascot, "The Shepard" and his demonic goat disciples. We talk all about that and their latest album, "Capricorn Rising", and of course, the origin story of the band itself. Frontman Graham shares with us a couple of his favourite indie metal bands as well...The Morgellons, Omniesia, and Stalwart. I do not own any of the rights to the music played and used.

CRONES

It's a little bit of this...a little bit of that...and all rock and roll! Today we chat with Nathan from the BC band, Crones, about their 2024 album "Human Error" (which is currently available on vinyl), all the musical inspiration behind it, some of their older tunes, and their live shows. Nathan also gives us a couple of songs from his favourite BC bands, Britt A.M., Danny Bell and His Disappointments, and Scribbens. I do not own any of the rights to the music played and used.

PETE MOSS

I dare you NOT to sing along to the bird song...it's harder than you'd think. Pete Moss, the Ontario Nature-Folk Children's (but also for adults) musician, combines his love of birds, plants, and all things nature into catchy, educational, and inspirational songs. We chat with him about his latest single, "Hey Bud", and both his albums, "Birds Rock" and "Plants Rock". Pete also shares with us a couple of his favourite local children's artists, "My Friend Christopher " and "Land Heart Song". I do not own any of the rights to the music played and used.

THE NORTH SOUND

What does the North sound like? Sounds a lot like a hard way to make an easy living. So dust off those cowboy boots and get ready to work with Forrest and Nevada Eaglespeaker, the two hearts behind The North Sound out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We chat with the couple about their latest album "What It Takes" and how one song changed the whole direction of and almost complete album, their 2020 album "As The Stars Explode", and about what it takes to be musicians and a family. We also hear a few songs from Forrest and Nevada's favourite Saskatoon artists RaytheNihilist, Gunner & Smith, and Former Lovers. I do not own any of the rights to the music played and used.

The weather may be cool up in the Yukon...but these guitar riffs are even cooler. Today, we chat with the Whitehorse vocal powerhouse, Hendrika, about her music, her part in Major Funk, and the exciting things she has coming up this year. We also hear songs from Wyatt C. Lewis, Malory Chipman, Billie Zizi, and of course Major Funk. I do not own any of the rights to the music played and used. All copyrights are to the respective artists
