David Marsden — the architect of Canada’s modern alternative music identity and a broadcasting icon — comes to The Redwood Theatre for an exclusive “In Conversation With…” evening.
Known for reshaping the airwaves through his trailblazing work at CFNY and beyond, Marsden defined an era, championed artists long before they broke, and built a listening culture rooted in curiosity and edge.
