My Son the Hurricane set to storm into Ottawa TONIGHT!
My Son the Hurricane is a 14-piece brasshop funk beast with the mantra: anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Hailing from Niagara/Toronto, the band mixes New Orleans style grooves with funk, jazz and hip hop. Driving the show, charismatic frontman Jacob Bergsma “can playfully pluck every nerve in your body with his voice” (Earshot), while the well-oiled rhythm section including 2 trombones, sousaphone, 2 trumpets and 2 saxes creates a spectacle of sound. With this lineup, My Son the Hurricane “stood out like a sore, yet extremely talented thumb at every show they’ve played” (Pulse Niagara), and became revered for their live show.

Dancing Into Tradition with the Capital Ukrainian Festival
Remember when we suggested you get some dancing shoes you’re okay with wearing out for when the Capital Ukrainian Festival returns July 20-22 with that huge selection of musicians who are eager to get you moving? Now, those unfamiliar with Ukrainian dance may be thinking to yourself just how do you fill that space in front of the main stage and get your groove going, anyway? Thankfully, the festival has brought in a bountiful bevy of inspiration in the form of nearly a dozen dance troupes to show you how it’s done! All you have to do is be amazed and maybe try and keep up.
Getting Honey Suite with The Lifers
Liv and Anita Cazzola lead Guelph’s art-folk/rock collective The Lifers. So, what’s in a name?

Oh yeah, and blood. They’re sisters.
