Tonight’s guest, is a 17-year-old guitar virtuoso. But that should surprise anyone who knows that Zac Tiessen (http://www.zactiessen.com/) and his brother Josh, a wildlife artist who’s been tutored by Robert Bateman, were part of a study of an elite group of 24 prodigies being studied worldwide. Zac recently released his first CD, Courage, which features four songs that are a mix of jazz, heavy metal and fusion.
One of C.S. Lewis’ first published works was a collection of poetry published under the pen name of Clive Hamilton. Lewis, who died the same day as John F. Kennedy—November 22,1963—and both his poetry and prose, have been significant influences for tonight’s guest, poet D.S. Martin (http://dsmartin.ca/ and http://kingdompoets.blogspot.ca/), whose latest collection of poems, Conspiracy of Light, pays homage to that influence.
Last year rock vocalist and three-time JUNO nominee Chris Greenwood, who performs as Manafest (http://www.manafest.ca/), released The Fighter CD. Recently the Pickering, Ontario native wrote his first book, also titled The Fighter, which is the story of how he conquered his own fears and found success.
