Ottawa’s biggest concert promoters, Spectrasonic, had a big month in September, and brings in a super busy month of shows in October leading up to Halloween.

The month starts big with Royal Canoe‘s RAYZ Tour with Begonia at the 27 Club on October 3rd. The “musical mad scientist” are bound to get the crowd on the dance floor with their catchy pop rock tunes!
