As well as his music career, William Kuklis is also an actor. In fact, he recently appeared in the animated TV series, LEGO Jurassic World – The Legend of Isla Nublar as the voice of Dennis Nedry. As always, we wrap up the hour with more new music, and this time around we hear from Thomas Hine, A Choir Of Ghosts, Malcolm McWatt, CW Ayon, Hauler, John Moreland, Penne Sandbeck and Crystal Shawanda. Check out the full playlist below.

Interview

Prince George BC based singer-songwriter and actor William Kuklis has been compared to artists like Matt Andersen, Van Morrison and Steven Page. He landed on our radar in 2017 with his third solo release “Save Me”, which became a fast favourite on this show. “I’ll Be All Alright”, the follow-up is a true solo album, recorded in his own Vinyl Deck Studios and released in late 2019. William is also part of a new folk trio – The Ebbs who describe themselves as music makers and memory shakers, and feature William Kuklis (guitar, voice), Joseph (Joe) Shea (guitar, voice), and fiddle virtuoso Finn Scott-Neff (fiddle, voice).

William Kuklis has writing and acting credits in several indie film and television productions including short film X Spots the Mark for The Vancouver Film School, Quickies for Moviehouse Pictures, and The Distance of Truth for Pageturner Productions. As mentioned previously, he is also the voice of Dennis Nedry in the animated TV series, LEGO Jurassic World – The Legend of Isla Nublar.

That’s all we have time for. Thanks to all the artists who share their music with us, and thank you for listening. We have lots of great music and interviews to bring you on future episodes.

If you enjoy the music we play on this show and want to support the artists – many of whom aren’t able to play live at the moment because of the Covid-19 pandemic, don’t just stream their music – that earns them much less than a penny per play. Instead, buy their music – and really make a difference to their income. They’ll love you for it!
