Wax & Wane, hosted by CKUA’s Joe Hartfeil, is now sponsored by Edmonton’s Bugera Lamb Fine Art!
Every week, listeners tuning in to Wax & Wane are invited to discover music that captures the unique spirit of a Friday night. They can expect garage rock, outlaw country, gritty blues, and mysterious folk, all woven together by Hartfeil’s deliberate and heartfelt curation of the “haunting, haunted, wayward, and wild.”
That spirit of thoughtful curation and discovery is what makes Bugera Lamb Fine Art a natural sponsor for Wax & Wane.
Bugera Lamb Fine Art has been part of Edmonton’s arts and cultural landscape since 1985, beginning its legacy as the Gallery on Whyte. The gallery has undergone numerous iterations over the decades, with the current 124th Street location opening in February 2025. Today, the below-ground gallery showcases some of Canada’s finest contemporary artwork alongside emerging local voices, all carefully curated and presented in the gallery’s unique space. Owner Claire Lamb brings her background as both an artist and arts professional to her role, along with her passion for fostering connections between viewers and artworks.
For Lamb, art is not just something that decorates a wall; it can inspire, comfort, provoke, and reshape the way people see the world. Her philosophy mirrors Hartfeil’s approach to Wax & Wane; more than a playlist, his program seeks to create an atmosphere, allowing one song to spark the discovery of the next, and letting listeners connect with the music in their own way. Whether in a gallery or over the airwaves, they share the goal of delivering a thoughtfully crafted experience while trusting that audiences will make their own unique connections.
Bugera Lamb Fine Art and Wax & Wane celebrate their shared values of creativity, connection, and curation through this sponsorship. Together, they remind us that art, in all its forms, finds its home when people are invited to experience it in meaningful ways. CKUA is so happy to welcome Bugera Lamb Fine Art as a sponsor.
Wax & Wane, hosted by Joe Hartfeil, airs Friday nights from 7pm – 9pm MT on CKUA.
