CHART #295

listenCheck out this week's edition of the chart as a handy dandy playlist  or podcast (stream with the play button, download from the right-hand column).

Peter Gabriel, George Harrison, Debbie Harry, Morrissey, Chrissie Hynde...the list is almost endless of artists who have left bands to fly solo. Some would argue that their best work came after they went it alone!

To mark my new "solo" scene on The R3-30 I'll be counting down the artists that you voted as your Favourite CanIndie Artists Who Have Gone Solo!

Who is your favourite "gone solo" artist of all time and why?

The R3-30 airs Fridays @ 9am ET and 9pm ET and Saturdays @ noon ET. The R3-30 Podcast drops on Saturdays!

about Craig Norris

Craig Norris can’t fix cars. He can’t paint paintings, or even houses for that matter.

 

No one has ever asked Craig to perform major surgery, and there are more than a few people who can attest to his shoddy veterinary work.

 

Craig has two, discernible talents; playing music and talking. And, much to his grade 4 teacher’s chagrin, he seems to have successfully melded the two together.

 

His formative years were spent studying piano at The Royal Conservatory of Music. In high school, he added saxophone, clarinet and flute. The past 19+ years has been spent fronting The Kramdens.

 

While his music has defined him, his humour and ease at the mic led him to CTV, where he was “the music guy” on The Chatroom and eTalk! Through karma and luck, Craig ended up at CBCRadio3, where among various other things, he hosts The Craig Norris Hour and The R3-30.
