Sunday night marked the fifth and final day of concerts at Lansdowne Park, as CityFolk completed the 2024 chapter of the festival. With Jason Isbell out due to illness, Maren Morris was bumped up into the headliner slot, allowing for a longer set for the rising star, which nobody was sad about.

It was an energy-fuelled start to the weekend, as Rise Against headlined night three of CityFolk in commanding fashion.

One of Ottawa’s favourite festivals kicked off last night, as thousands descended upon Cityfolk 2024 at Lansdowne. Headlining night one was The Beaches, moving up from the late show to the main show in recent years. From playing The 27 Club in 2017, to the Bronson Centre in 2019 and early 2020, to heading up […]

Residing in the Ottawa Valley, Émilie Klemm uses her run-down analog photography equipment to observe the hidden details within her surroundings. Whether at home, in her neighbourhood or with her peers, she looks for tones and grain, accepting dust and blurry moments. She presents her images with the rawness and simplicity missed in digital technology. On late nights, she can be found photographing the local music scene in Ottawa.

It was a great night for some fine live music on Thursday night at Live On Elgin. The night’s bill featured Nick Posthumus and the Soft Maybes, and opener J3M, both acts currently based out of Toronto, but with Ottawa roots. J3M got the night started, acting as a one man band, singing/playing to accompanying […]

Last night marked the closing of this year’s edition and 30th anniversary of Bluesfest.

Nas’ set was littered with hits- from “New York State of […]

The second last night of Bluesfest was a showcase in rock n roll, as hair-metal legends Motley Crue headlined the evening. Canadian JJ Wilde rocked the early crowd with an aggressive, fun set. Windsor’s The Tea Party made their annual trip to Ottawa, utilizing haunting riffs layered under in your face guitar solos. It was […]

The “Cali to Canada” tour brought Snoop Dogg’s West Coast aura to the Canadian Tire Centre.

Do you remember taking pictures before smartphones made it so accessible? Every shot had to count and you wouldn’t know if they turned out the way you wanted. For many who are getting into shooting their own photos on film, this may be a distant childhood memory, or they were perhaps too young to even remember a time before digital cameras. This sense of nostalgia and living in the moment is what Hannah Mitchell, among many others, is trying to chase.

It’s my first time at the NAC Fourth Stage and I’m delighted by the intimacy the venue offers with soft twinkly lights, cocktail tables surrounding the stage and ample seating. The opener, Gabrielle Shonk, takes the stage. With flaming pink locs, an oversized suit and a sincere posture that matched her lyrics, Shonk charmed the […]

Although slated as the local opening act, De Flore were asked for multiple encores at Bar Minotaure.
