CBC at Mount A

Local singer/songwriter Julie Doiron and Fred Squire team up with The Superfantastics of Halifax on this week’s program of Fuse on CBC radio.

Recorded in Mount A’s Brunton Auditorium, the Sackville edition of Fuse airs on Saturday, February 23 at 3 p.m. (106.1 FM, CBC Moncton, http://www.cbc.ca/radio).

Fuse is a national CBC program that combines two different Canadian artists each week to collaborate on songs from each band. Usually done in studio in Ottawa, Fuse traveled to Sackville, for the first time, on February 12 to feature some East Coast talent with Sackville duo Julie Doiron and Fred Squire teaming up with The Superfantastics of Halifax.

Fuse came to Mount Allison following an invitation from student Sandy MacKay with the SAC Entertainment Committee. The bands performed in front of a full house of Mount Allison students and local residents.

In case you miss Saturday’s show, editions of Fuse are also available on CBC’s Radio 3 site at http://radio3.cbc.ca/. For more information please visit http://www.cbc.ca/fuse.
