London Morning's associate producer, Ryan Soulliere, listens to a lot of music for his role, picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that's about 25 songs. Here are three artists featured on London Morning who will be performing at the Home County Music and Art Festival this Saturday.
Sister Ray - Wings
Toronto-based Sister Ray takes the Home County stage at 3:30 p.m. London Morning played Wings from Sister Ray's album Believer. Wings is a mellow yet steady track with a particular musical magic to it that makes it easy on the ears and a perfect song for sipping your favourite early morning beverage.
The Marrieds - Rita
London folk duo The Marrieds perform at 4:30 Saturday afternoon at Home County. The Marrieds' song Rita is upbeat, loaded with great harmonies and has a wonderful harmonica line that really pulls you into the groove. Rita is a great song for any playlist and will certainly add some dance energy to your next party mix.
Bedouin Soundclash - Inversion Weather
Festival veterans Bedouin Soundclash close out this year's Home County with a set that starts at 9:30 p.m. From Bedouin Soundclash's huge catalogue, London Morning played Inversion Weather. This song has a lot going on in the mix with haunting vibraphones, call-and-answer harmonies and spacey keys all sitting on a bed of acoustic guitars. Inversion Weather will fit on almost any playlist, and it's a great song to play at your next gathering with friends.

Maidie Music House opens to support Black artists in Nova Scotia

Katrina Lopes chats about creating Maidie Music House, an artist development company rooted in Black Nova Scotian heritage and culture. Maidie Music House, a Halifax-based artist development company, is opening its doors Friday. 'Aug. 1, on Emancipation Day, which was intentional because its symbolic of liberating ourselves from these systems that were never built for us,' veteran music executive, Katrina Lopes told CTV Morning Live. 'That's what Maidie Music House is about.' The company, founded by Lopes, looks to support and promote Black artists across Nova Scotia. 'Building something that's for us, by us, that understands what our needs are because there has been no infrastructure here,' Lopes said. Maidie Music House hopes to close the gap for Black artists in the province and help them develop their careers. 'The biggest gap has been artists development and performance couching,' Lopes said. To celebrate the opening of the music company, a concert is being held as part of the Crescendo Fest. The audience can expect performances from Reeny, Zamani, Haliey Smith and Jody Upshaw.
