Big news! Exciting, awesome news! Exclamation marks abound! On March 26th, TransCanada Radio will be headed down to beautiful, sunny Miami, Florida for the 2008 Winter Music Conference! Of course, thanks to the internet I know exactly how awesome this news is, but you, the reader, may not be nearly as excited as I am about this until you learn exactly what exactly WMC is all about! I’ve gone ahead and gathered the information for you so you don’t have to go Googling all over the place, too!

THE ROOT
For those who have never had the fortune to drive it, the Trans-Canada highway is a long, slow and detailed journey. This route is rarely the fastest, but can be the most memorable way to traverse Canada.
I recently had the fortune to take the wrong turn driving from Toronto to Ottawa and landed myself on this highway. Listening to a CD of an Ottawa afro-funk band, I quickly drew the parallel between Canada’s music industry and one of the worlds longest highways. Relaxed and natural, yet constant and strong! Canada’s artists are bred to know that there is a long road that lie ahead.
TRANS CANADA RADIO is proud to celebrate Canada’s Current Cultural artists and their locations! Traveling across Canada’s vast surface and finding the best of the under and above-ground artists who are rooted in, Soul, Funk, Reggae, Beats, House, Breaks and all that afro-Jazz… and where to check them out in your favorite Canadian city!
Pack your bags! We’re going on a road trip!
