The TransCanada Alberta Music Series brings together a diverse selection of artists and bands from across the province for four shows at the Epcor Centre Engineered Air Theatre. Anita Athavale asked me to play with her at the IndieRock session, a night that coincided with the release of her new EP "Begin Again". I thought I would take you all on a tour backstage.

2PM, Soundcheck: Snapping photos in the Green Room. Of course, I headed straight for the snacks.
 |  The view from the stage and Russell Broom, Anita's producer and guitarist. |
 7:30PM, Jon Gant: One of the perks of playing in a band is that you get a great view of other acts from the side of the stage. |  And if you're Andrew Ball (drummer), you get free shoes from Fluevog by playing at their SXSW party! |
Anita's EP is six songs of piano-driven electronic folk that showcase her gorgeous vocals. Dark melodies entwine guitar and beats to create powerful anthems.
