Followed by Saskatoon/Regina/Winnipeg
The second guest is Afie Jurvanen – more famously known as Bahamas!
A fascinating artist and human. Never satisfied to remain in the same groove or attitude. What’s constant is his ability to create memorable songs, surrounded by sonic texture that is his territory alone.
You know it’s him as soon as you hear the song.
He’ll be doing summer festivals and supporting his album Bootcut – a heavily inspired classic Country record which has recently seen his catalogue surpass a billion streams. He was awarded a pile of gold/platinum/double platinum singles while attending the JUNOs this year. . Rolling Stone covered Bootcut saying that a Canadian indie rock kid made one of Nashville’s most Country records of the year: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bahamas-bootcut-country-music-album-nashville-1234826097/
