This past Saturday night, Wakefield’s landmark venue the Black Sheep Inn, was alive with the music of two of Ottawa’s cream-of-the-crop bands, The Powergoats, and leMeow. I was whisked away via shuttle bus, along with a healthy crowd of fellow ticket holders, who were in store for what was to be a memorable and highly […]

This past weekend, North Easton released his latest album One of the Lucky Ones with an intimate performance at Saint Brigid’s Centre for the Arts. At heart, North is a story teller and this evening was all about stories. From a deeply personal tragedy, to more light hearted moments about coffee and tales of those […]

The free concert series for the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival opened with a bang courtesy of July Talk who stormed the stage with their latest single Push + Pull. That song has been a daily listen for me for the last few weeks. Hearing Peter Dreimanis’ gruff vocals for the tune live, you’d have thought […]

I went to this show with high expectations and I am happy to say that I left more than satisfied. It’s been sometime since I had seen Rebelle perform. Not since they were using their old name of The Strain. Though the band has been through some lineup changes, their live performance still has that […]

This weekend I went to check out the Ottawa Music Index fundraiser/showcase. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get there early enough to catch all of the performers. I was impressed however with the ones I did manage to see. Not long after I got there, Amanda Cottreau took the stage. With her soothing songs and […]
