3am Mixtapes: Episode One Hundred One: #SingItFwd

in
Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general as best 2015 songs. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Songs About Being Late. 

This week, not only am I talking about the upcoming #SingItFwdFinale, with the Top Six SingItFwd Performances but I am joined by half of the brains behind the operation, one third of the brains behind Hey Ocean!, and the whole brains behind his solo material, one of the hardest working musicians in Vancouver, David Vertesi.

Hear him talk about SingItFwd, the St James Music Academy, past years, this year's finale, what's next, and lots more. And a bunch of cool performances recorded live from previous years:

"Congo" by Bear Mountain w/ The St James Music Academy
"Bit By Bit" by Ryan Guldemond & Hannah Georgas w/ The St James Music Academy
"So Easily" by Kathryn Calder
"Summer Dress" by July Talk
"Resolutions" by Said the Whale w/ Shad
"Walking on Broken Glass" by Hey Ocean! w/ The St James Music Academy.
