She will, however, stay on as host of Get On the Good Foot, so CKUA listeners will still be able to hear her voice and enjoy her musical c…Read Article

CKUA's Legacy and History - Read

We’ve all looked through old family photos. It’s fun to admire—or mock— the fashion sense of people in bygone eras. Maybe we’ve wondered what the folks in the photo were thinking about when the photo was taken. It’s not that different when we look at CKUA’s historical photos. We feel connections with people we never had the chance to meet. We feel gratitude for the work they put in to make life better for others. This week, we’re inviting you to…Edmonton, Alberta · Edmonton Read Article

Marcus Trummer: From the Start - Read

When Marcus Trummer released his debut album, From the Start, in 2024, the blues world took notice. In the Blues Rock Review, Moe Moore wrote that the record “gives us all hope that the future is still bright.” We asked this young Calgary-born musician about the album and his meteoric rise as a recording artist and performer. “I was about 13 when I really started getting into guitar.

Meet Host Darcy Whiteside - Read

Darcy Whiteside has been at the helm of The Bluegrass Hour since 2017. It’s a pity the show isn’t broadcast in video as well as audio, since Whiteside has such an extensive collection of Western-style shirts. We asked him about his love of bluegrass music, his work at CKUA, and his new role as our roving reporter. “I was doing a show—as so many other hosts at CKUA have done—on CJSR,” says Whiteside. “It was called Prairie Pickin’.” He laughs and…Edmonton, Alberta · Edmonton Read Article
