Luka & Nightcap

Nightcap is your perfect end-of-the-day tonic.

About Me

I host a weeknight radio program on listener-supported radio CKUA. The show is called Nightcap, and it is a one and a half hour jaunt into the new music being made, with a heavy hankering for Canadian goodies. On tap: pop, rock, beats, indieindieindie, soul, a little bit of everything. Click on today's blog date for a complete listing of tonight's playlist and highlights for tonight's show. A perfect end-of-the-day tonic. Nightcap, weeknights at 10:30, on CKUA, home of Original Radio. Listen online at ckua.com .

The artist of the day is at the top of the friends list, perhaps also singing in the background here. Check them out!

**I will not comment on musics. If you're wanting to send your music in for possible airplay, send it to our street address in Calgary. The address can be found online at ckua.com .
