The first guest is singer/songwriter/composer Marc Jordan.
He and his love Amy Sky were show-stopping guests on the 2023 CKUA Juno Couch.
Then, they were singing songs from their nominated album He Sang. She Sang.
Now Marc returns to The Stew with his latest solo gem, Waiting for the Sun to Rise.
Marc continues his journey through his jazz-influenced songbook..getting cooler and more focused by the year.
Tracks like Rio Grande (with Randy Brecker), and Tears for Fears’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World. And the standout Coltrane Plays the Blues.
A small suggestion when listening to Marc Jordan play and sing. The songs invite you to – LEAN IN.
Jordan and Sky are both national UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors for Canada.

There’s a second guest on this week’s Stew. A brief visit with Anna McGarrigle (from the much-loved duo Kate and Anna McGarrigle)
In 1975 Anna wrote an amazing song called Complainte Pour Ste Catherine.. Initially as a B side for a single about Henri Richard and the Habs.
It was then rerecorded for their first self-titled album and became one of those rare songs that just stays with the listener no matter what age. It also became a hit.
It’s now the centrepiece for a National Film Board animated short The Girl in the Red Beret.
Not so much about Ste. Catherine Street in Montreal but underneath it in the subway.
The song is sung by Kate’s daughter Martha Wainwright and Anna’s daughter Lily Lanken.
The screenings take place on Tuesday, Sept 26 at the Edmonton International Film Festival and Sunday the 24th at Calgary International Film Festival.
In Edmonton Sept 26 : Muttart Theatre at the Stanley Milner at 12:10 (Lunchbox series)
In Calgary Sunday 4 PM at Eau Claire 1(Radiant Jewels Shorts)
