Hidden Track Session: Major Love | Majorly Live!

For our first-ever live Hidden Track Session in front of an audience, we really lucked out!
We wanted to do something special that brought artists together with members of the CKUA community for a spontaneous, in-the-moment experience - an intimate and exciting live musical performance alongside a conversation that takes us deeper into the music.
We were hoping to find an artist with deep roots in the community, a vibrant onstage musical presence, oodles of charisma, and some new music to share with the world. And yes, we lucked out huge! We ended up with good vibes, incredible music, a tremendous sense of togetherness, and Major Love.
While they certainly would be considered a supergroup of Alberta talents, ‪@majorloveband‬ has a sound and an identity that goes far beyond what the sum of these parts can account for.
Drummer Shea Connor, bass player Murray Wood, and guitarist Trevor Mann have been playing together since they were kids. For the past 15 years, they’ve been a band called Scenic Route to Alaska - taking their name from a well-known sign near their hometown of Edmonton.
The four members of Major Love joined us at CKUA’s Edmonton studios, in our Live Performance Space, alongside a room full of CKUA supporters for a session that had our crowd dancing, crying and laughing in turns. In this episode, we hear from this insightful and ever-charming group of friends - both in conversation, and in the live performance of music from their long-awaited brand-new album Live, Laugh, Major Love. We’ll hear three beautiful selections: "One Woman", "Time", and "The More I Know/Mountain Standard Time".
