Watch Serena Ryder Live From Space [Concertgoers Blog]

One of North America’s most popular performers is just making a name for herself here in Chicago. Serena Ryder, the 3-time Juno award winner tore the roof off S.P.A.C.E. in Evanston last night. An intimate group of XRT listeners were treated to a full (free!) concert from Ryder thanks to Kendall Jackson Wine.

He album, Harmony was released in Canada last November and is finally making a U.S. debut later this month. You’re heard her award-winning song, “Stompa” rockin’ on XRT and the groovy track already has over 700,000 views on YouTube. Sporting a Flying V Guitar, Serena told us she got the guitar specifically for the new record, and she wanted “Stompa” to have a T-Rex sound, but it ended up having a T-Rex meets Ella Fitzgerald sound instead.
