September 26, 2024 // Jordan Long & Brenda Mabel Reid LIVE @ Counterpoint Brewing
In our Season 5 premiere, the On The Scene team heads to Counterpoint Brewing in Kitchener ON to chat with local musician Jordan Long and local mixed media artist Brenda Mabel Reid.
Hosts Allison Dyjach, Shelby Bolitsky, and Darek Reidel hear from Jordan about his new EP release "The Window Seat" and how he was able to create a concept album of complex emotions. They also chat with Brenda about their newly launched magazine "In Process: Visiting Creatives In Their Spaces" that profiles local artists, as well as their upcoming interactive "Nap Tour" event happening in Victoria Park.
We also see the return of the ever favourite 3 Stars of KW, and Darek premieres his very first lightning round with our guests!
Guests:
Jordan Long is a piano-driven singer-songwriter from here in Waterloo. Having played piano since the age of five, he was inspired to create and share original music after attending a concert in Vienna where he recognized emotions in the music that he had never seen expressed before. This experience made him feel deeply connected, and he hopes to offer that same feeling to others, especially his friends. Jordan Long's music is influenced by his classical training as well as artists like Bon Iver, and fellow Canadians Oscar Peterson and Joni Mitchell. His music is also influenced by his life experiences growing up in the region, and studying math at the University of Waterloo.
Brenda Mabel Reid is a multidisciplinary artist living in Kitchener. Their work deals with the complexity of care relationships and thinking about ethics in urban living, often in ways the artist finds humorous or clever. Their practice regularly engages the public in collaborative art and learning experiences, from large-scale projects to interactive time-based installations. Currently, they are tackling questions of care through combinations of media, including textile, animation, printmaking, sound work, photography and sculpture.
Music Featured: Dropkick by Painting Pelicans, L is B by Jordan Long, Cliffhanger by Avalon Stone
