Soundtrack
Soundtrack: Kate Reid & Evalyn Parry
Fri, Apr 22 (8 pm), Junction Bar, $15
Kate Reid and Evalyn Perry are undoubtedly a musical match—both singer-songwriters are known for their explorations of gender, sexuality and identity and make a travelling tag team as they head out across the country together. Landing in Edmonton this weekend, the two shared the soundtrack for their lives, separately at home and together on the road.
At Home: Morning, Noon & Night
Any new-age instrumental music with animal sounds, birds, goats, farm animals ... I know, it's weird! (KR)
CBC 1, the Current and Q—keeps me connected to what's going on, both hosts are great interviewers [and have] great guests. (EP)
Yo Yo Ma, baroque classical—it's great focus music for doing my music business work. (KR)
Ali Farka Toure—great work music, to get me focused and inspired. (EP)
Phil Ochs vinyl, '80s pop (German and English-speaking) on vinyl, women's folk music ... love listening to this when I'm making dinner, hanging out with the kids. (KR)
Iron and Wine—great lyrics/poetic, quiet wind-down listening. (EP)
On the Road: Morning, Noon & Night
Tanya Davis's Clocks and Hearts Keep Going, CBC, any Top-40 country music station on the radio or CKUA if we're in Alberta. (KR, EP)
The Allman Brothers because they make awesome, rocking driving music with killer guitar solos and great lyrics. (KR, EP)
The National's High Violet—epic arty rock, great for night driving. (KR, EP)
