Bangers & Mash

New this year is a pre-festival bash at Queen St. Fare featuring Bangers & Mash alumni the Mackenzie Rhythm Section and Slack Bridges on Saturday, February 29.

Ottawa’s second annual soul music festival sold out Black Squirrel Books and House of TARG.

The only thing spookier than Friday the 13th is snow in the forecast for mid-April, both of which are things we have to look forward to this weekend. Have no fear, though, because your guide to the weekend is full of hot coffee, cold beer and cool shows.

Heads up: Organizers say tickets are moving fast and last year’s inaugural Bangers & Mash sold out in advance.

Do you recognize that Centretown spot? The local speakeasy where Slack Bridges filmed scenes for their new music video?
