In this edition we’re talking with Jen McKerral, a steadfast supporter and pillar in all things arts related in our city. She’s long held a position with Music and Film in Motion, an organization dedicated to supporting musicians and filmmakers of all sorts access resources to make their projects a reality. In her personal life she’s part of the Up Here team which takes over our downtown core each August transforming it for a wild weekend of discoveries. Her latest foray sees her starting her own out of home studio with partner Matt Wiewell, Deadpan Studios. From managing acts to performing herself in the disbanded Pistol George Warren (RIP) she’s a top source when it comes to the Ontario music scene.
