Had the chance to get interviewed on CBC this past weekend, talking about my music, influences and upcoming album. Big thanks to Margaret Gallagher and everyone else at CBC for having me on the show. And thanks to Carnaval del Sol for another fantastic year of music! Here's a link to the recording if you are interested in checking it out!
