Christina sits down with acclaimed Canadian musicians James Hill and Anne Janelle of Champagne Weather to talk about making music in the moment, embracing the unfinished, and letting an audience become part of the creative process. Their music is a wildly creative blend of chamber folk, improvisation and musical experimentation, with ukelele and cello at its core. They chat about their journey from classical and folk roots into improvisation, the trust that comes with years of collaboration, and what happens when you leave a little room for the unexpected.
