It’s always a pleasure to hear from Devon Leger, founder and operator of the Hearth Music promotion agency. Far from average publicists, the good people at Hearth are devoted to supporting the very best talent in roots, folk, and world music. Devon and his team are passionate about sharing great music, which is reflected by the quality of their products. Each hand-crafted package from Hearth is a labor of love, and a treat for the ear.

Mandorichard and Devon have a great time digging deep into roots. Among other topics, they discuss the Canadian scene, the relevance of CDs, weird colloquial languages, and talented artists of all ages. And, because this is The Music Room, they sample some tunes from Hearth Music’s impressive client roster.
