Up early for this one. Seth and Mac sit down with ØSTELLA an Edmonton based alt rock Irish fusion artist who rolled into Calgary fresh off a killer show at the Rec Room.

They get into life in Canada after growing up in Dublin, how a school concert lit the fire to perform, and the winding road from band life to going solo when a “someday” mindset finally ran out. ØSTELLA shares how a car accident pushed her into the jazz program at MacEwan, why learning guitar became non negotiable, and what it’s like building momentum as an artist in a post pandemic live music world.

The conversation also dives into music culture in Ireland, why Canada struggles to get crowds out, and how programs like youth music camps and all ages shows can change everything. Then it gets wild in the best way: cycle touring across Canada, collecting stories for a new record, and why the “Ø” isn’t just branding it’s a whole philosophy.

The episode wraps with a live performance of “Weightless” and a big reminder that community is still the secret weapon.
