Song/Craft Sessions: OK Naledi & Paul Brogee + Jay Foster

Song/Craft Sessions is a casual afternoon show hosted by Coraline James featuring thoughtful songwriters.

OK Naledi is a high energy, Queer, Afro-Fusion music project created by Ottawa based musician-producer Naledi Sunstrum. Featuring traditional sub-Saharan clean guitar lines, classic deep bass and movement-inspiring beats, OK Naledi’s compelling lyricism and catchy melodies showcase them as an exciting, up and coming group to keep tabs on in the Canadian music landscape.

Emerging in February 2022, OK Naledi has had incredible performance opportunities and support. From major festival and showcase performances to award nominations. OK Naledi’s music video ‘do you feel’ was selected for screening at the 2023 Los Angeles Queer Film Festival. OK Naledi has received generous funding support from Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council and the City of Ottawa to continue creating in this project. On March 4, 2023 OK Naledi released their first full length album with a sold out album release event at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. OK Naledi is currently working on new music releases and tour planning for 2025.

Paul Brogee & Jay Foster of Long Range Hustle

If you’re new to a Long Range Hustle show, it only takes a minute to feel how their contagious energy connects with everyone in the room. From a sweat soaked club to a breezy festival stage, Long Range Hustle brings the warm infectious melodies, driving rock rhythms, and gorgeous harmonies, in spades.

The 2019 release of their album, Town, brought the dawn of a new chapter for LRH, allowing them to capture new audiences throughout Canada, the US and Europe. Touring has taken them across Canada from the Maritimes to Victoria, through the USA, sharing stages with Arkells, The Glorious Sons, Matt Mays, Big Wreck, and delighted hometown crowds with month-long residencies at Toronto’s Dakota Tavern.

Coraline James is an offbeat adult contemporary musician from Kitchener, Ontario whose music sounds like Josh Groban on mushrooms. In August 2023, James unveiled her debut EP, In the River, produced by the JUNO award-winning producer Michael Wojewoda. Her second EP, Brambles, will be released in June 2025 thanks to the support of the Ontario Arts Council and the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.
