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’re hosting a special event on Thursday, November 27, at Ollie’s Pub in the Nideyinàn 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. It’s also a reminder of what’s possible when people are given the space to create, share and connect.
Presented by DA Integrated, the night will feature live performances from artists featured on the album, including:
- The Atomic Tempunauts
- Tara Holloway & Naviger
- LH Express
- James Leclaire
- Slo’ Tom & The Handsome Devils
- Sleep Late
Tickets start at $10, with bundles available that include a copy of the album. The event is 19+ and space is limited.
Support local and win a gold record.
We encourage everyone to bring a non-perishable food to support the Ottawa Food Bank. Each donation gets you entered into a draw to win one of five limited-edition gold vinyl copies of the album.
This event is also part of CKCU’s 2025 Funding Drive, which carries the theme Independent Media Matters. As local media continues to shrink, CKCU remains committed to amplifying community voices and supporting local culture.
If you’ve ever tuned in, volunteered, performed or been part of the CKCU story, we hope to see you there!
