Cat Toren hails from Vancouver, a positive wellspring of musical talent. She’s a distinctive voice in modern music, most well known as a lead performer of the Juno award winning band Pugs And Crows. Human Kind is her album, her band, her inspiration, and her greatest work to date. The music is a suite of deep feelings, pensive melody, hypnotic groove, and a sensitive yearning for hope. In this time of numerous contemporary musical landmarks, she is certainly staking her claim. The music seeks to respond to what can actually make America right again.

Kyle Eastwood comes from a family of music lovers, especially Jazz, but he’s the practitioner of it. For decades he’s been making solid and soulful bop, and in recent years Eastwood has really come into his own as a bandleader and composer. If the Adderley Brothers and Cleveland Eaton passed the baton, he grasped it firmly and then some. He joins in to talk about his 20 years of output and his most recent release, In Transit.
