Spotlight Ottawa

The final night of the Round 3 concerts saw more great performances.

Ashley Crnic was up first. Her powerful voice was showcased as she delivered an enjoyable set of acoustic tunes blending a mix of folk and rock.

The PepTides were next up. Their set was impressive. It had something for your ears and eyes. Outstanding vocals set atop an electro pop soundtrack, accompanied by plenty of choreographed moves. I’m still not sure how they managed to fit everyone on stage and still had room to groove.

From the opening riff, Cody Allen spent 25 minutes rocking out to a raucous group of fans. Cody was backed by a solid rhythm section that laid down a tight groove. Check them out the next time they’re in town.

Emma’s Ringer brought an energetic set featuring their grunge rock sound. If you’re a fan of 90’s grunge, give these guys a listen.

Eagleson played a fun set. Following in the footsteps of new acts like The Sheepdogs, their sound pays homage to the rock ‘n roll sounds of the 70’s. Catch them if you get a chance. They were definitely entertaining on stage with lots of interaction between the band members, something I find lacking in a lot of bands today.
