Rae Spoon performs at Calgary's King Eddy
Multi-faceted local artist and LGBTQ activist headlines the National Music Centre's Alberta Spotlight series
Rae Spoon is an internationally recognized musician, storyteller, author and filmmaker — as well as an activist in the LGBTQ community.
Hear Rae Spoon do a solo show at the King Eddy in Calgary, recorded for Key of A as part of the National Music Centre's Alberta Spotlight Series.
You come for the music, of course, but what makes Rae Spoon's shows so special are the stories and insights you hear between — and sometimes during — the songs.
Multi-faceted artist, hero to the many LGBTQ youth who came to the show, Rae is an entertaining, self-deprecating performer. A very special show.
Hear the long-awaited new album from Reuben and the Dark, Arms of a Dream, and a preview of the National Music Centre's next Alberta Spotlight show, with Edmonton jazz-pop-classical instrumental outfit Kent Sangster's Obsessions Octet.
Plus, Michael Rault's new album It's A New Day Tonight is set to drop May 18. For a preview of the shimmery, sixties vibe he channels on the new release, check out the video below.
Listen to the Key of A Saturday 5-6 p.m. on CBC Radio 1.
