about

In March 2022, Greg Orrē was asked to be the host of Plain A.I.R, an artist-in-residence program for CFCR and CJTR. The residency is an open concept one hour radio show each Saturday in March where artists are encouraged to explore their artistry and experiment with a radio format. During each Saturday in March, Greg Orrē introduced listeners to his works and told stories about how the seasons inspired his music and writing. The artist also shared a number of new demo recordings of songs from his upcoming solo albums, as well as a number of cover songs from artists that have influenced him over the years. The new songs and covers shared on these four episodes were generally recorded and mixed by Greg during the month of March using his multi-tracker - the same tool he used to record and mix the majority of his first solo album I Am In It, Vol. 1. This residency lands just prior to Greg hitting the studio this spring to record his sophomore solo album I Am In It, Vol 2 and allowed the artist to reflect on his artistic career so far.

“I Am In It: Airwaves” is presented by Saskatoon multidisciplinary artist Greg Orrē and is a companion piece to his overall I Am In It project. Join him as he explores the evolution of his art over the years, and considers how nature & the changing of seasons influence his work as well as the works of other artists that he is inspired by. Since this show occurs during the month of March, he’ll be looking at the waves of change in the air during the winter and spring seasons. He will thread a needle through his older music up to the current project he is working on, as well as create brand new works for this four-episode residency. “I Am In It: Airwaves” will consist of storytelling, live performances of his own songs and covers, spoken word recordings, previews of his next solo album, and music from both Greg’s influences and his own discography going back to his Too Soon Monsoon days.
