Area Resident is the music of multi-instrumentalist Doug Hempstead, an Ottawa-based journalist who records between split shifts as a traffic reporter on the radio. Drawing heavily on events encountered as a journalist, the music deals with strange events, deaths, arrests and phenomena. It's produced by and features Jordon Zadorozny (Blinker The Star). Area Resident typically turns out an album a year. https://arearesident.bandcamp.com/
