Another high-energy edition of Off Da Rock Radio is now available on demand!

We're keeping the excitement rolling with our countdown to Showcase on da Rock 2026, happening August 28–30 in beautiful Bay Roberts, Newfoundland & Labrador. Throughout the show, you'll hear music from some of the incredible artists scheduled to take the stage at this year's event.

🎙 On this episode, I chat with internationally renowned mental health advocate Glenn Roil, discussing the importance of mental health awareness and keeping the conversation going.

🎶 We also celebrate the radio debut of Derek Strong's brand-new song, as Derek joins me to share the story behind the track and what it means to him. Derek is one of more than 40 artists taking part in this year's Showcase on da Rock.

🆕 It's also New Music Monday, featuring fresh sounds from Jason Gill and Unwell Wisher, aka Lanny Cox, now calling Kitchener-Waterloo home while proudly carrying his Newfoundland roots wherever he goes.

From emerging artists to established favourites, this episode is packed with music from across the Newfoundland & Labrador spectrum — celebrating the stories, culture, and talent that make the province's music scene so special.
