Bill Bourne | House of Love

Bill Bourne was a collaborative, talented artist. Every song he wrote, every festival he played, and every project he touched was made better by his generous spirit and amazing musicianship. For generations, Bill's presence in the musical community of Alberta has been massive, and it ripples outwards all across Canada and the globe. This month, CKUA is in conversation with a cross-section of friends and colleagues of this remarkable artist and human being, who died April 16th, 2022, at the age of 68. In a heartfelt, homespun tribute, the Hidden Track podcast traces some of the astonishing, unique journey of this iconic folk musician through memories and stories from the likes of the Edmonton Folk Fest's Terry Wickham, John Armstrong of The Christmas Carol Project, Mile Zero Dance director Gerry Morita, CKUA's own Andy Donnelly and Cathy Ennis, and beloved musicians Lester Quitzau, Terry Morrison, Tippy Agogo, Scott Cook, and Jasmine Collette a/k/a Badlands Jazz of Blue Moon Marquee.
