A conversation with jazz trumpeter [Chuck Copenace](http://www.chuckcopenace.com/) in a busy mall food court (so forgive some of the background sounds). Chuck has been making a name for himself in the local community for his groove-heavy instrumental sounds as well as his outreach to indigenous youth in Manitoba. He's also headed to a jazz festival in Guatemala to bring his music to an entirely new audience, but before he goes, he's playing a set [this Friday](http://www.facebook.com/events/197970894091642/) at Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery. This episode is brought to you by our friends at the Park Theatre, who are presenting [An Evening of Jazz Song](http://myparktheatre.com/event-calendar/8pm-amber-epp-heitha-forsyth/) featuring Amber Epp and Heitha Forsyth on Sunday, March 4; and by [Record Sundaze](http://www.facebook.com/events/396212277496619/), Feb. 18 at PEG Beer Co., featuring Dub Ditch Records, Eye and Ear Control, Eat 'Em Up Records, and Electric Heat Records. ...
It's an interview with the hardest-working man in the Winnipeg music scene! [Greg Rekus](http://www.gregrekus.com/) is on the verge of releasing a new record with his band the Inside Job (*[Death & Taxes](http://greg-rekus.bandcamp.com/album/death-and-taxes)*) and will be heading out on more of his non-stop, globetrotting tours in 2020. Greg has been a delight to talk to ever since I first met him back in the ‘90s, and he’s one of those people who is welcome on the podcast anytime. I can only dream about hustling as hard – and having such a positive attitude – with this podcast as Greg Motha Fuckin’ Rekus does with his music. If you're listening on the day this comes out (Wednesday, Jan. 8), *Death and Taxes* is out now in streaming form, plus Greg's performing tonight at Sookram's Brewery with Grotoko, so head down and pick up a physical copy! This episode is brought to you by our pals at [the Park Theatre](http://www.myparktheatre.com/), as well as the Beer Boutique, managed by Winnipeg punk mainstay [StevO Nelson](http://www.facebook.com/beerboutiquewpg/). ...
This week, we sat down -- in a room festooned with hilarious black light posters -- with Mac and Mark of 90s-influenced noisemaking duo Mmars. They're releasing their debut Fuzzstronaut album July 22 at the Good Will, so we talk about the new tape (which is fantastic, by the way) and a lot more! ...
