Hey listeners!
So, we have our first show of 2010 coming up and I hope you’re as excited as I am.
Last year, we managed to get some fantastic artists on the program, but this year should be even better. My goal for 2010 is to really bear down and dig into the youth scene as much as I can to bring you some truly fantastic, new, youth musicians.
Anyways, allow me to introduce to you our first Youth Music Profile of the year: Tera Incognita!
Tera Incognita is the Folk/Jazz partnership of Sarah Lubbe and Will Hodgins. The group was born from a hot tub in the summer of 2008 and has since recorded a small demo worth of tracks, and has preformed at various spots around Vancouver.
Not limited by conventional instrumentation, Tera Incognita cite their main goal as to “redefine all listeners to what is considered music” and describe themselves as a musical equivalent of hot cereal and shopping cart rides in the rain. With Lubbe’s rich, full-bodied vocals and Hodgins’ smooth, articulate guitar work this sense of comfort, warmth, and innocence is a noticeable trend throughout their music.
Whether their songs are a sharp cultural critique (“Where’d Your Soul Go”) or heart-breaking narrative of loneliness and isolation (“Paper Hands”), Tera Incognita provide youthful undertones to a familiar, matured songwriting style.
Make sure you check them out at www.myspace.com/teraincognitamusic and on Facebook!
In the meantime, if you or anyone you know is in a band and are between the ages 15-25, send your music to me at music@y57.ca!
Make sure you tune in to Tera Incognita on CFRO Coop Radio 102.7 FM on Monday, January 25th at 7PM sharp!
Have a good one!
