ERI-WAVE FM RADIO EASTER PROGRAM
A Musician’s Intuition
A Musician’s Intuition is a show about contemporary culture from an artist’s perspective. Hosts David Lacalamita and Haley Sheppard discuss music and art they love, art-making as resistance, and how prioritizing art-making in a capitalist society can provide important information about how to navigate the pressures of modern existence. The show is one part discussion, one part music show as the two curate musical voices to bring to the table to weigh in on the night’s topic. Using their intuition as a starting point, Haley and David will bring you on a journey of the mind and ear.
New shows come out the first and third Tuesday of the month.
A Musician’s Intuition is hosted by David Lacalamita and Haley Sheppard and airs the first, third Tuesdays a month on CKMS-FM from 8:00pm to 9:00pm.

“Voices from the Underground: Independent Music and DIY as a Cultural Engine”
In this episode of Mystic Soundwaves, we explore the beating heart of independent and underground music. Joined by Vanessa Silberman – musician, singer-songwriter, producer, and founder of the label A Diamond Heart Production, with whom we previously shared the making-of of the track Shine in the episode Inside Shine: The Sonic Journey – we discover how the indie philosophy continues to thrive today, through tours, independent productions, and the challenges posed by modern digital algorithms.
Listeners are taken on a journey that begins in 1970s and ’80s New York, through alleys, small clubs, and college radio, all the way to Seattle and the birth of grunge with bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. The episode shows how independent music has never been just an alternative to the mainstream, but a true cultural engine, giving a voice to often overlooked realities.
From the DIY scene of the first underground clubs to today’s digital landscape, indie music remains a symbol of creative freedom and authentic passion. Vanessa shares her experience and love for this world, offering a unique perspective on the present and future of independent music.
