Megan Nash performs 'Try' in 1st Empty Room series video

There is no setting more intimate than an empty room.

Regina's Creative City Centre is capitalizingon that fact with the Empty Room video series, a new project that showcases Saskatchewan artists as they perform in solitude at the Hague Gallery.

Each Monday for 12 weeks, CBC Saskatchewan will be posting the live recordings online and playing the tracks onThe Morning Editionradio show.

Watch singer-songwriter Megan Nash deliver a haunting and soulful rendition ofTryoff her 2015 album,Song Harvest Volume One,in the first instalment of the Empty Room series below.

Champion of the underplayed

Brent Nielsen, the creator of the Empty Room project, previously worked for yearswith CBC Radio.

He hosted a show called 13 Tracks which billed itself as the"champion of the underplayed" andhas clearly kept that passion alive into retirement.

One of the main reasons Nielsen decided to start Empty Room is because he wanted to bring production value to the music videosof independent artists in the province, as opposed to some of the shaky cell phone clips frequently found on the Internet.

Among the musicians set to appear on Empty Room in the coming weeks areColter Wall,Rosie and the Riveters and Danny Olliver.
