Backbeat – Lorne Van Sinclair

Lorne has been a lifelong collector of vintage music. He has appeared on CBC Radio, CHFI’s Saturday Night Oldies with Don Daynard, and hosted shows on community radio stations in Toronto including: CIUT and CKLN. While in Toronto, he ran Canada’s largest record collectors get-together and had his own store, the Bluenote Record Shop.
 
While driving through the Haliburton area, Lorne found Canoe FM. Impressed with “the different mix of music” he thought “maybe they’ll let me play my weird mix of music.” In 2019, Lorne began hosting the show Back Beat. The show is now heard on various community radio stations across North America. In June, 2023 Back Beat received the prestigious “Best Music Variety” show award from the National Campus and Community Radio Association.
 
Back Beat is a fun romp through the history of popular music, an eclectic mix of vintage blues, jazz, country, gospel, pop and rock ‘n’ roll from Lorne’s extensive collection. The show goes beyond the hits, placing an emphasis on underrated and forgotten artists and records.  Back Beat also features new artists with a vintage sound.

Country Crossroads – Sally Howson or Guest Host

Country Cross Roads follows Canoe FM’s iconic, classic country show “Canoeing in the Country” Saturdays noon to 1pm.

Take a step across the country road with host, Sally Howson, as she takes a wider listen to some newer tunes with a bit of a twist to the twang. Music that still works with the classic Country themes, “lovin’, cheatin’, hurtin’, leavin’, ‘n’ startin’ all over again”, that will ease you into the rest of your Saturday listening.

Each week an artist or band with at least one cowboy boot in the Country is highlighted; some more mainstream, and some music that crosses the road between rock, country and folk.

Tune in each Saturday to hear what’s happening in newer country music. Sally showcases great Canadian Country artists.

If you would like to contact this host directly during her show you can do so by texting 705-457-1009.

Canoe Trivia Hour – airs on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. Norma and her daughter Victoria Bingham co-host this highly interactive hour where listeners can play along and text the studio.

There is the tune trio question where 3 pieces of music are played, and listeners can guess what the songs have in common to win a prize!
