Megaphono

Black Squirrel Books will be taking over the space to operate a satellite event venue.

This year, the cross-disciplinary arts conference is inviting folks from creative and entrepreneurial industries to converge on the problems facing Ottawa’s arts entrepreneurs today.

MEGAPHONO is a celebration of our region’s top musicians.

Keynes Woods will be playing the Megaphono closing party at Babylon on Saturday night, alongside FOXTROTT, Garçons and Lex Leosis.

February may be a short month, but the weekends are making up for lost time by being chock full of fun things to do.

A staggered schedule, the close concentration of venues, and short set-times are meant to make seeing bands easy. MEGAPHONO unfolds from February 7–9, 2019.

The Ottawa music scene is undergoing a slow revolution to more clearly and firmly establish itself as a place where misfits of all kinds—not just the white, cisgender, straight ones—can feel safe and welcome.

Local, volunteer-run organization Girls+ Rock Ottawa has organized a Gig Planning 101 workshop in partnership with local women-powered show production organization Debaser. The workshop will take place May 27.

The second annual Music Maker Fair and Trade Show aims to help create more awareness of organizations to the community that support the music business in Ottawa, and to encourage networking and collaborations among the music business entrepreneurs of today and tomorrow.

They join Polaris Music Prize winner Lido Pimienta, weirdo pop-rock maritimers Mauno, and experimental T.O. rappers Above Top Secret among invitees to the music showcase festival in February.

Mauno, Lido Pimienta, Nap Eyes, BLAKDENIM, Above Top Secret, Scattered Clouds, Expanda Fuzz, Bonnie Doon and many more will perform at clubs and pop-up venues around town.
