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.

Another powerful night on Off Da Rock Radio, bringing together the music, voices, and real issues happening across Newfoundland & Labrador.

🆕 New Music Monday delivered fresh tracks from:
Madeline, Gus Gustopherson, Bedroom Eyes, Wild Step, and Yes, Officer — showcasing the depth and diversity of NL music right now.

🎙 I also spoke with Colleen Power from CHMR, the student/community radio station at MUN, about the very real possibility of funding being pulled — and what that could mean for the future of a station that has helped launch and support so many voices over the years.

🚗 And a real talk conversation with Glenn Pardy about the ongoing issues in downtown St. John’s, where working people — especially musicians — are facing tickets and towing, sometimes leaving them feeling like they’re working just to pay the city back.

🎶 Through it all, the music carries on — from across all genres of NL, past, present, and future.

Emily Gladys, Jason Gill, Dram & a Draw, April Squires, and a big moment on the show — long-time listener turned singer-songwriter Jeremy Janes, making his radio debut. Love seeing that come full circle.

🎙 I also caught up with NL mental health advocate Glenn Roil, talking real conversations that matter and the importance of keeping mental health front and centre.

📻 Plus, we touched on what’s happening with CHMR, the student-run radio station at MUN, and a petition circulating for downtown St. John’s from the folks at NL LIVE Events — all part of the bigger picture of supporting music, venues, and culture in the province.
