KITCHENER --
A pair of Kitchener musicians have created a podcast to help promote local musicians, comedians and venues that have been silenced by pandemic-related closures.
Kitchener Famous is the name of the podcast, hosted by musicians Jay Carraro and Jesse Webber. The duo helps connect a musician or comedian with a venue owner to discuss their passions and future goals.
In their first episode, Carraro and Webber paired singer-songwriter Jesse Parent with Lana’s Lounge in Waterloo, where his performance was streamed online.
“The arts connect people, soothe people and heal people. Without it, I don’t know if I could survive this thing,” Parent said.
