Read excerpt
This episode marks the start of our third annual collaboration with Music Yukon, where we feature the talented Northern artists they support in heading down to perform as part of the Edmonton International Fringe Festival. We're starting off strong with a two-part episode featuring two amazing Yukon-based acts!

Valerie June | Hidden Track Ep. 118 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Valerie June's music is grounded in blues, country, Appalachian folk, gospel, and other veins of earthy roots music; but at the same time, it reaches for the heavens.

Cat Clyde | Hidden Track Ep. 115 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode of the Hidden Track podcast features Cat Clyde, a singer, songwriter and guitar player who has been making music for about 10 years. CKUA's Grant Stovel chats with this young artist on the stage of the Drumheller Legion during the Cold Bones Festival as she is about to release her 2026 album Mud Blood Bone. In this laid-back session, she gets into the music on the new album, being inspired by nature, books and musicians she loves, a certain dialogue-free 1980s movie about prehistori
