Black Squirrel Books

Get out there and enjoy your weekend. Take lots of photos and be sure to tag them with #APT613.

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.

Le 14 avril prochain se tiendra la deuxième édition du festival Bangers and Mash. Au menu cette année, dix artistes (8 groupes et 2 djs) qui se  partageront les scènes du House of Targ et du Black Squirrel Books.
