On this week’s program, I welcome one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier Folk-Pop duo and two of my favourite people in the music industry! My guests are Jordan Coaker & Kirsten Rodden-Clarke of Quote the Raven! We talk about their fourth studio album, Map The Dark, as well as the East Coast Music Awards! They are up for three this year in St. John’s, one which includes a nomination for album of the year! Plus, we talk about how the two came together for the first time in a Musicbox choir practice, some of their favourite shows they have played, and their future plans heading into festival season!
