Jenn Grant | Hidden Track Ep. 113

Cradled By the Waves is the title of Jenn Grant's wildly creative new stage show — a live multimedia expression of the music found on her latest album, Queen of the Strait. It's about family, life, death, art, relationships, nostalgia, home, love, heartbreak, and how, as she sings on the album's opening number called "Jim Cuddy Dress," "Nothing that's real ever fades."    It's hard to decide whether Queen of the Strait is simply a brilliant album, or perhaps a musical version or a great short story collection, or an auditory interpretation of a visionary film. So it's appropriate that Jenn has — for the first time ever in her career — devised an ambitious, immersive production to convey the songs through dramatic storytelling, film projection, and elaborate stage craft.    During a cross-Canadian tour, Jenn Grant and her brilliant band took some time to come visit us at CKUA, and we're so grateful for this candid, thought-provoking, yet fun and warm-hearted visit.    Credits Executive Producer: Arianne Smith-Piquette Senior Producer: Jasmine Vickaryous Associate Producers: Bronson Kashino, Scott Zielsdorf Host: Grant Stovel Music: Doug Hoyer Graphics: Tomas Spasiuk Special thanks to CKUA's Events and Marketing teams.
