Sometimes we bring you music that fits into a theme… and sometimes we just throw a bunch of Canadian albums into our bag, cross our fingers, and see what happens. This week, we’re doing the latter.

We’ll have a little something for everyone on this Friday’s show, including the vintage country stylings of Canada-to-Austin transplant Whitney Rose, beautiful new tunes from Aidan Knight‘s latest album, and an airy, cinematic tribute to the coming spring season by North Atlantic Explorers. Five o’clock in the capital city will feature, of course, our Neil Young Song of the Week.

Tune in this Friday to hear even more Canadian tunes from artists like Balacade, Jim Bryson, FemBots, Michael Feuerstack, and Fine Times (who’ll be showcasing along with at least 67 other Canadian artists at SXSW 2016). We’ll have classics from The Ghost Is Dancing, Hey Rosetta, MeatDraw, and A Northern Chorus. Plus, we’ll feature tunes by Novillero, Parkas, Ruby Coast, Wolf Saga, and Brandy Zdan.

Mark your calendars and set your alarms—and join Justin the Canuck for This Great White North, featuring 90 minutes of independent Canadian music, this Friday at 4:30 PM on KOOP Radio, 91.7 FM in Austin, TX and streaming online at KOOP.org.

If we’re going to keep bringing you new music, it’s time to start looking past 2015 to the bright new future ahead: 2016! And though we’re only three weeks into the new year, it’s already brought us a bevy of new tunes. On this week’s show, we’ll be hearing a few of them, including tracks so new that they’re being released on the day of our show.

That includes tracks by Aidan Knight (whose new album Each Other drops Jan. 22) and the latest single by Wintersleep, from their forthcoming release The Great Detachment, due out in March. On top of that, we’ll have tracks released just last week by favorites Reuben and The Dark and newcomers to the show, She-Devils.

Four tracks won’t round out 90 minutes of independent Canadian music, though. That’s why we’ve got even more music never before heard on the show, including tracks by Amy Millan, Beth In Battle Mode, Cascade Falls, CHASTITY, Elf TV, Federal Lights, Fine Times, Grey Lands, Happenstance, June In the Fields, and Kid Metropolis. We’ll also be spinning tunes by Liam Mackenzie & Young Rust, Loving Yourself Means Everything, Tacoma Hellfarm Tragedy, Teen Daze, To Stowaway, and Wolf Saga.

Don’t miss out—join Justin the Canuck for This Great White North on KOOP Radio, 91.7 FM in Austin, TX and broadcasting live to Planet Earth at www.KOOP.org. We hit the airwaves at 4:30 PM Central with 90 minutes of independent Canadian music that you can’t hear anywhere else south of the border.
