Today on Champions of the Local Scene 6-7 PM

Kelly "Sugarface Nene" takes over Champions of the Local Scene today at 6-7 PM EST with special guest Karim Terouz from The Rising Few! 

Born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, Karim Terouz had a burning desire to write and sing music. Greatly influenced by North American folk and singer-songwriters, he knew he had to make a life changing decision. At the age of 25, Karim left his friends and family and packed up the little he had and headed west.  Writing songs during the day and working Montreal's bustling nightlife by night, his love grew.  With songs like "Sinners on St-Laurent" and "Date in Montreal" and backed by Montreal's finest, Hubert Tremblay (guitars), Isaac Cesse (trumpet), Harvey "Drums" Bien-Aime (drums,cajon) and Andrew Sudlow (bass) a new folk was born. Here is The Rising Few.

After a successful Rhino Sessions EP and winning Landmark Showcase Competition Finals, The Rising Few are currently in production for their first full length album with the legendary Glen Robinson.

The Rising Few also play every first Monday of the month at the old port favorite, Le Piano Rouge.
