Starting on the West Coast in late May, CBC Radio 3 host Grant Lawrence (wearing the official CBC X Granted sweater) will jump behind the wheel of a brand new 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Fender Edition.
Grant will roar across the country, from Vancouver to Toronto,
interviewing and recording performances by many of your favourite bands
at every stop along the way.
Each performance will be posted here on CBC Music, and a weekly best-of video highlight reel from the trip will air on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight on CBC television. Grant will also check in daily from the road on CBC Radio 3.
During what promises to be a thoroughly rockin' road trip, you'll
have a chance to meet Grant for brunch in each city along the way, and
have a chance to win a Fender guitar signed by every band and artist
that crosses Grant's path on this epic voyage. Details to be announced
soon.
What bands between Vancouver and Montreal do you think Grant Lawrence
should meet up with? What are your favourite Canadian road trip
anthems? What are the can't-miss roadside attractions between Vancouver
and Toronto on the Trans-Canada Highway?
