George Stroumboulopoulos was joined by a cavalcade of Canadian guests as we testified to the 2015 Juno Awards.
Over the past season, we've welcomed countless artists to perform intimate acoustic sessions in the House of Strombo. On Sunday night, we celebrated some of our favourites that featured many Juno Award winners and nominees such as Arkells, Bahamas, Basia Bulat, City & Colour, Coeur de pirate, Daniel Lanois, Dan Mangan + Blacksmith, Death from Above 1979, the Flatliners, Hayden, Kandle, Kevin Drew, Lindi Ortega, Shad, Stars and Tegan & Sara.
Also, we delivered some brand spankin' new performances from our friends Sloan, Kevin Hearn of Barenaked Ladies and journalist/former CBC personality Malka Marom opened up about her latest work, Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words. There were appearances from Chromeo, Lights and George Pettit of Alexisonfire/Dead Tired.
And if that weren't enough, how about a little St. Patrick's Day party with a few friends from the Mahones and Dropkick Murphys dropping requests?!
Lock it. Crank it. Join the collective!
