Hey, everybody. This is Ernesto Servini, and I have some very exciting news to share with you. I'm just about to release a brand new podcast called Canadian Songbook. The idea for the podcast was inspired by my most recent album, which is also entitled the Canadian Songbook. The album was filled with music, all composed by Canadian artists, some by some of my bandmates in in my band, Turboprop , some by some of my colleagues on the scene, and then some other songs that were written pop tunes that were big when I was growing up, in Toronto.

And, through making this album, it just got me thinking about these composers and these musicians and and how their lives were shaped in Canada. And, I just got curious and wanted to find out more about how everyone's story differs. I find it so fascinating how we can all grow up in similar places but have these completely different stories. You know, these conversations weren't just about music and growing up in music, but it's also about community and connecting with people that you meet in the places that you're in. So whether you're drawn to stories of growth and transformation or curious about creative culture or simply interested in the lives behind Canada's creative scene, this podcast offers an intimate and inspiring portrait of what it means to grow through music in Canada.

So I'd love for you to join me on this journey. Check it out. It's called Canadian Songbook and you can find it wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for listening, and I can't wait to share these stories with you.
