In the Key of C

In The Key of C is an Ontario-wide weekly music program, hosted by The Morning Edition’s Craig Norris of CBC Kitchener 89.1(CBLA-FM-2). Dealing primarily with music, In The Key of C also offers an entertaining compass pointing to Canadian culture in the areas of writing, filmmaking and the arts. Craig provides a weekly list featuring songs from Canadian artists that you should check out, like and definitely support

Although on hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, it usually airs province wide Saturdays at 5pm EST on CBC Radio 1.

I suggest going back and exploring the previous list and discovering some new Canadian favourites.

As well, Craig also is a well known part of the Canadian music scene fronting the popular Canadian band The Kramdens. Please do yourself a favour and check them out at Kramdens.com and their Facebook page! (Personal favourite tune: Mary Phelan Hill)
