Friday Night Live (Fri, 8-10pm)

ArtSound FM has embarked on an exciting program of live jazz broadcasts. Every Friday night audiences can tune in to hear local and national musicians playing superb jazz and blues classics and originals.

The program will feature live performances from the ArtSound recording studios and pre-recorded concerts from venues around the Canberra region including the God’s Café, Canberra Southern Cross Club, the Street Theatre as well as some of the world's top festivals.

Friday Night Live will be co-hosted by long-standing jazz enthusiast and broadcaster Chris Deacon and local Jazz singer Lauren Black.

ArtSound FM is supplying the two hours of free production and broadcast time to musicians in order to add to Canberra’s already vibrant jazz community. ArtSound FM is a member of the Fine Music Network and the European Broadcasting Union. Each band will receive a recording of their concert and there will be opportunities for distribution of the concerts internationally.
