Piecemeal Artists Spotlight: Ben Frey @benjfrey #saltspringisland #saltspringartists #saltypear #illustration #illustrator 06 Oct 2026

A Friendly Wave Radio on CHIR FM — every Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM on 107.9 FM (Central/North End), 102.1 FM (South End) and global at CHIR.FM This week, @benjfrey returns again for a mixed bag of synth pop, trip hop, and Balearic — including heaters from @depechemode @t3al_4real @maaraluisa @fundidofundido + Episodes are archived if you ever want to hear back at [afriendlywave.com] 11 Aug 2026

It’s Tuesday! And on every Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM, our AFW show hits the airwaves on 107.9 FM or 102.1 FM (online at CHIR.fm), with a different host from the AFW community. Tonight (Tuesday July 28), @benjfrey steps away from his usual “crying on the dance floor” mix to walk with you through the alleys behind Commercial Drive and take you on a time warp of Vancouver music, from 2000 to 2016 — showcasing just a sliver of bands and artists that were inspired by their city and the scenes it produced. Rent was cheap. Venues and artist-run centers were in every corner. Music in Vancouver today is just as strong, but we’re looking back at a time when the city had a different personality. Above all, this is Vancouver music. If you miss it, we’ll have a Mixcloud link on our website 🔗Afriendlywave.com. The show re-airs Fridays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 5:00 PM. Tune in 📻 28 Jul 2026

Every Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM, tune into our show on 107.9 FM or 102.1 FM (online at CHIR.fm), with a different host from the AFW community. This week’s show (Tues June 23) @benjfrey returns for his third AFW installment on the airwaves. His birthday is right around the corner, so he put together a Balearic birthday mix…it’s fun and moody — like wearing a leather jacket to the beach. New tracks from @midi_janitor @gi____gi_____ @pacific___coliseum and others, as well as the well-aged stuff. If you miss it, we’ll have a Mixcloud link on our website 🔗Afriendlywave.com. Tune in 📻 23 Jun 2026

Here’s my contribution to the 2026 Spring Art show, Digital Ecologies. It’s a set of three murals posted on the side of Mahon Hall, with an augmented layer. It’s been fun witnessing viewers discover the animations, as on first glance, they just simply seem like standard murals. The set is called “Night and Morning in my Shadow”, a line that I borrowed from Bryan Ferry’s track “The Chosen One”. It’s all about the weight of nostalgia. The wild growth distorts memory over time, and those fleeting moments of pleasure and pain that linger in memory may not have ever been exactly how you perceive them. It was a hard but fun project, and I’m happy with how it turned out. A big thanks to @katigburgers for inviting me to take part in a truly inspiring showcase of Gulf Island interactive artists, @saltspringarts for hosting, and to @littlebrette for the added support. Materials used: latex on panel, @artiviveapp AR software, @gaxos_labs Art Gen AI for help with the animations. 13 Apr 2026

Toronto’s @jane_inc_ returns to Salt Spring Island, promoting her new highly acclaimed album “A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH” with Vancouver’s @devours.ufo and @somethin.else.djs on Saturday March 14 at The Legion Br 92! Tickets are on sale at Eventbrite and at the door. — Jane Inc. is the solo moniker of Carlyn Bezic, forged after years spent building bona fides in the Toronto music scene with groups like U.S. Girls, Darlene Shrugg and dance-pop duo Ice Cream. Pitchfork has described her as “an all-seeing art-pop auteur equally enamored with electro-disco and bossa nova, like a DIY Madonna who never left the Danceteria” and “a musical Swiss Army knife, capable of anything and revelling in her multiplicity.” 2022’s Faster Than I Can Take was featured in SPIN, FADER, Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, and Stereogum, and described in TIME Magazine as “a gripping trip to pop’s frontier”. Stereogum described 2025’s A RUPTURE A CANYON A BIRTH as “both extremely fun and nakedly emotional” with Pitchfork adding “Bezic’s glassy vocals seem braced for uncertain adventure, poised between melancholy and euphoria”.In her live show Bezic takes the conceptual edges of her work and pushes them with a physical abandon and “incredible presence, keeping the audience rapt even when she was just dancing hypnotically”. — Devours is a queer, DIY electropunk/synth-pop musician and producer known for confessional, high-energy music exploring masculinity, body image, and queer existence. The Vancouver pop iconoclast’s fifth album, Sports Car Era, is an ode to the male midlife crisis. 18 Feb 2026

@t3al_4real brings their lush, downtempo trip hop to Salt Spring for the very first time on Saturday August 30th! The family-based trio features local legend Ashleigh Ball, delivering euphoric textures and hypnotic grooves.

The group is made up of family members Ashleigh Ball (Hey Ocean – Victoria, BC), Melissa Ball (Y’KNOW & UH HUH – Toronto, ON), and N1_SOUND (Spiritual World, Y’KNOW & UH HUH).
