Drinking good wine with good food and good company is one of lIfe’s most civilized pleasures. Here in Winnipeg we have the luxury of having a shop that knows the best in good food and wine.

Yesterday February 2nd, 2023 was Groundhog day, and if you trust Manitoba Merv we are in for another six weeks of winter, so why not stay inside and keep warm and  enjoy some new reads; especially because February is I love to Read Month.

Chris Hall From McNally Robinson Booksellers stopped by our Classic 107 studios to give us his picks for what to read for this month of February. Here are his selections:

Local singer/songwriter Ryan Ramsdale opens up about the struggles of his life, how he met God, and now writes songs to God with the talent bestowed upon him.

When Ryan Ramsdale first got into music, he was 15 years old and had his heart set on becoming like one of the greats in the music industry, like Elvis Presley. 

The goal of Chiwaz's new music is to bring praise, honour, and glory to the Lord as he collaborates with other artists pursuing deeper relationships with God. 

Shepherd Chiwandire, known musically as Chiwaz, is originally from Zimbabwe and lived there before moving to Winkler, Manitoba. 

As for what brought the artist to Canada, he shares, "My wife. We met when she came to Zimbabwe on a missions trip."

The couple has been married now for eight years and is currently expecting their third child. 

This Friday, January 13 at 7:00pm the Winnipeg School Division will be holding their Divisional Honor Band Concert at École Secondaire Sisler High School.

After taking a break from his music career to focus on his faith and education, Manitoba artist Nick Betzing has released a sample beat to remind people of the reason for the season.
