"A mix of beautiful finger and electric style guitar work, chilling ambient electronics, hair raising orchestral melodies and haunting background vocals await you on a journey which I can really say; you are going to loose yourself on emotionally." This week on the show I'm super hyped to bring you "Moments" the new record from Whitby, Ontario Electro-Acoustic guitarist Mark Wylie! We dive into the record as a whole and hear the whole thing from start to finish! Then I give my thoughts on each song and why I was taken on such an emotional journey during my listening process. So don't hesitate, give a listen to this incredible record right now on the show!! Perfect for fans of guitar, ambient music, symphonic electronic and even heavier music fans!

If I had to describe Mark Wylie's style of song writing I'd have to simply say unique and it's something you must experience! This week on the show I sit down with the electro-acoustic songwriter to learn about his his musical journey. From his earlier influences in the metal world to his roots in the jazz world, he has a very wide pallet! We'll also get to hear about his writing process along with a few other fun tangents! We'll also be sharing the first single off his upcoming album Moments that I'll be reviewing in full next week! Hope you guys enjoy it!
