Jo-ette James, Calgary based comedian

Jo-elle James is an aspiring Calgary based comic, who likes Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain & still can’t quite believe that sarcasm can now be listed on her resume under ‘job skills’. Prepare to be dazzled… she wears sequins.

AM Radio

AM Radio – April Cruz & Murray Peglar met two years ago and have been entertaining as a dynamic duo since. The idea behind AM Radio remains a powerfully simple one. “We set out to make music we enjoy and can feel proud of playing, music that people we like will want to listen to” explains vocalist and guitarist Murray “So we’ve just done it from the heart and try to have a great time doing it.”

This couple does not only sound amazing, they have incredible charisma!  During the auditions, there was no question that we wanted them to compete.
