— New JUNO TV shows include Music Talk, featuring Canadian celebs talking tunes and Q/A, featuring today's hottest musicians answering the burning questions you've always wanted to ask! —
TORONTO, March 20, 2014 /CNW/ - Now in its second year, JUNO TV has launched three exciting, new shows and unveiled a revamped website today — offering more ways than ever before to celebrate Canadian music 365 days a year.
Vault Sessions, sponsored by the Ontario Media Development Corporation, is a new series shot at the JUNOS HQ that features live performances and interviews — all in a cozy 6' x 7' space! Most of the year, "the vault" serves as the home for JUNO Award submissions, but for a few days in March it became a performance stage for some of Canada's top indie artists, including Born Ruffians, Daniel Romano, July Talk, Justin Rutledge, Rich Kidd and The Darcys. All the artists involved with the Vault Sessions are 2014 JUNO Award nominees. The series' official media partner is exclaim.ca where each session premieres a clip of each artist.
Vault Sessions showcases up-and-coming Canadian talent in a setting like no other, offering a highly personal, original performance space. Each artist performs three original songs and is interviewed by StokeS, the host of JUNO TV. Their exclusive performances are being released throughout March on JUNOTV.ca. Born Ruffians will be released today and Justin Rutledge will debut March 27. All other artists are already available online.
The show Music Talk finds non-musical Canadian celebrities talking tunes. Q/A, as the title suggests, fires off the questions you've always wanted to ask Canada's top celebrities and musical stars.
JUNO TV includes bonus features like the hip-hop antics of Blizzrd, in their hilarious, entertaining take on the JUNO Awards submissions process, plus other channels.
The online channel will be shooting special segments during 2014 JUNO Week in Winnipeg (March 24-30), and will be on the red carpet capturing all the excitement. For the first time, JUNO TV will be live streaming interviews backstage (sponsored by FACTOR and The Bell Fund) on Saturday, March 29 during the JUNO Gala Dinner & Awards starting at 6 p.m. CT / 7 p.m. ET, and Sunday, March 30 during The 2014 JUNO Awards, broadcast on CTV from Winnipeg's MTS Centre at 8 p.m. CT/9 p.m. ET. All 2014 JUNO Award performances will be posted afterwards to JUNO TV.
