Hey friends,

Just wanted to give you all a friendly reminder that we’re off this week so that Dennis and I can celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday this weekend. Don’t worry, we’ll be back with a brand-new show for your listening pleasure next week on Friday, July 7th.

In the meantime, we encourage you to get your fill of our smooth sounds by checking out the many past episodes available for download on both our iTunes and Google Play pages.
