Still the Mighty: CKCU turns 50 with first vinyl release

The cover of Still the Mighty Album

CKCU FM is turning 50 this year and, to mark the milestone, we’re trying something new: our first compilation album on vinyl.

Still the Mighty – Celebrating 50 Years of CKCU 93.1 FM brings together a collection of original tracks from artists in the Ottawa music scene, many of whom have long-standing ties to the station.

To launch the record, we hosted a special event on Thursday, November 27, at Ollie’s Pub in the NideyinĂ n Building (downstairs from the station) at Carleton University.

This record is a snapshot of the voices and sounds that have shaped CKCU over the years.

The record features artists like:

  • The Atomic Tempunauts
  • Tara Holloway & Naviger
  • LH Express
  • James Leclaire
  • Slo’ Tom & The Handsome Devils
  • Sleep Late

You can buy the record at independent record stores across Ottawa, by emailing info@ckcufm.com, or buy a digital version of it on Bandcamp.

If you’ve ever tuned in, volunteered, performed or been part of the CKCU story, we hope you’ll pick up a copy!
