The Spirit of Tony Turner Award (the “SofTTie“) was originated by Chris White, Ottawa singer-songwriter, broadcaster, festival organizer and music enthusiast. It is presented to an individual who has devoted his or her time and talent to creating opportunities for Ottawa musicians, and is named for Tony Turner, who is just such a person.

The new SofTTie winner is accessibility activist and co-host of CKCU’s program “Welcome To My World” Shelley Ann Morris, who will receive the award at the Spirit of Tony Turner Award Concert on November 17 at 7:30 pm at the Unitarian Fellowship Hall.

Our Funding Drive finale this year (which happens every year during Swing Is In The Air) will be a performance on the Radio Program LIVE from The Record Centre by Peter Liu & the Pollcats!
Incidentally, Peter is also one of the hosts on Swing Is In The Air, so I guess you could say he’s doing double-duty that afternoon ;)

“Well known in Ottawa for his warm velvety voice, creative phrasing, and engaging presence, Peter Liu is passionate about singing jazz and connecting emotionally with audiences. Whether leading jazz combos, or as guest vocalist, he performs regularly at public and private events across the region, enhancing the mood, energy and atmosphere where he plays.”

This fall marks 25 years of  “The David Dalle Show” every Thursday on CKCU. Such a treat to hear David share a world of eclectic musical paths and traditions with us all these years. Much has indeed changed in the past 25 years, but the depth, thought and quality put into David’s program has remained consistent. In David’s own words: “…the need for independent and free voices like we have on CKCU has if anything, grown in importance. With streaming and other digital options, there seems to be greater choice than ever before, but that choice is deceptive, guided by algorithms, music offerings are becoming ever more narrowly defined. You simply *will not* find any other program or AI algorithm which takes you on the extremely diverse musical journeys I take on my show, often with a logical thread tying it all together.” Here’s to 25 more! Check it out for yourself, a link to his show(s): https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/105/info.html
