The music we feature this week is from the Ottawa alt-rock group Winchester Warm. Their newest album is not available as of yet (Sept 25, 2013) But the one before “Sky One Room” can be purchased and listened to here!
We met up with Rolf, the lead organizer of the Arboretum Arts Festival, at the location of the event, the Arts Court . It was a gorgeous afternoon and a lot of fun speaking to the Ottawa legend. We spoke to Rolf about:
– Ottawa album producers
– Getting to know Rolf and why he came to Ottawa and still lives here
– What is Arboretum Fest and why it is different then the other festivals in Ottawa
– Other festivals he has seen around the world ie End of the Road in UK and Sappyfest in New Brunswick
– The dream of where Arboretum should expand to
– The state of live music and bands in Ottawa
– Creating more tourist attractions
– What Barrymore’s could do to make a comeback in the city
– Some bands that he thinks will become big from Ottawa
After the break we discussed:
– Some of the collaborations they are working with including Victoire Boutique, Magpie, nProduct, Drew Mosley on the cups, Kichesippi Beer and Bridgehead.
– The difference from last years festival to this year
– The Chef Sessions
– The workshops going on
– The kids programming
You can see a great video from this year’s festival right here
