For this special episode, Hidden Track is doing something utterly different. This isn’t a feature on one artist, song, or album. It casts a spotlight on a whole scene—on a whole Canadian Territory, in a sense!
Yukon is a Canadian territory that’s bigger than most countries on Earth, but its nearly half-million square kilometres are inhabited by only about 40,000 people.
In partnership with both Music Yukon and The Edmonton Fringe, CKUA invited five acts into CKUA’s Studio to share some of their music and their story with us. In Part 1 of this unique collaboration, we hear from Ellorie McKnight and her longtime musical collaborator Brigitte Jardin, touring veterans Diyet & the Love Soldiers, and the incredibly soulful Elijah Bekk (and band).
The Hidden Track Podcast is a CKUA production, made possible by the generous contributions of our donors. Thank you for your support!
