Perhaps the pandemic challenges of the past 18 months are making us more nostalgic than usual, but this autumn has been one of the nicest we can recall. The leaves are floofy and dry, sunrise is crimson and crisp, and the nights are clear and mild (perfect for star-gazing and spectacular aurora shows).
So as you're enjoying Alberta's natural wonders this weekend — and raking up the yard — your pals at APN have got a basket full of fresh fall listens for your ears. Just mind your earbuds while you're jumping in the leaf pile!
