The Strombo Show runs the gamut this Sunday night, keeping the spirit of radio alive by delivering the best records in the best order. It's a show for music lovers by music lovers, ranging over three hours of commercial-free music to honour both old and new.
George Stroumboulopoulos is joined by two modern rock mainstays, Chuck Ragan and Nate Mendel for intimate conversations in his home.
Chuck Ragan is an American singer-songwriter and punk scene veteran, formerly of the band Hot Water Music. His scratchy pipes are passionate and distinguishable as heard on his fourth solo album, 'Till Midnight'. He joins George for an acoustic performance ahead of his European tour.
We'll also be joined by resident Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel to celebrate his solo venture, Lieutenant. He opens up about his decision to break independently, his legacy with the Foos and his hardcore youth.
As always, we tip our hats to those groundbreakers and game-changers with a Nod to the Gods, spinning the best new tracks, paying tribute to Tom Waits on Ten with Tom and we send you into the horizontal with the Big Lie Down.
Lock it. Crank it. Join the collective!
For further musical exploration with George Stroumboulopoulos, tune in to The Strombo Show every Sunday night on CBC Radio 2 or CBC Music from 8 to 11 p.m. for three hours of uninterrupted music for music lovers.
