Bahamas @ Rebecca Cohn ft. Field Guide May 12
Thursday night brought a full crowd to the Rebecca Cohn Theater on Dalhousie University’s campus. A long time coming, and after two cancellations, this show’s original opening act was replaced by Manitoba’s Field Guide who filled the room with his music that told stories of late nights out with friends and lost relationships.
Field Guide @ Rebecca Cohn Theater May 12 2022
Bahamas started their set with an unexpected, but highly appropriate, in-flight captain’s message informing the passengers (audience). He outlined expected flight time and general show conditions and how the flight would not run longer than expected indicating that no encore would be happening. A fitting start to a show that followed such a turbulent path to finally land on a mid-May three-night Still Sad Tour Series at the Rebecca Cohn. Originally scheduled for January, and then rescheduled for April, good things are worth the wait and the masked up crowd was happy to finally hear the show they had waited for.
Alfie Jurvanen, the Canadian singer-songwriter Originally from Barrie Ontario, Alfie talked candidly about life on the East Coast. Even though he looked much different than the last time I saw him play on the Earth Tones tour at the National Arts Center in Ottawa, he sounded exactly as I remembered with his catchy beats and lyrics filled with stories. The music provides a calming fun environment where audience members swayed and excitedly pulled out phones to capture and share their favorite songs.
Bahamas’ Still Sad Tour is the tour for the album Sad Hunk which was released in the Fall of 2020. Bahamas will take to the road playing multiple shows and summer festivals in Canada and the US. The full list of upcoming dates is available HERE. Bahamas also has a pre-sale on for a Live to Tap 12′ vinyl available HERE.

Bahamas and Tim Baker at NAC
Saturday night a ‘chill crowd’ filled the theatre at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa for Bahamas with Tim Baker. The back to back shows drew a full house each night. The night started off with St John’s native, Tim Baker. Previously the front-man of Hey Rosetta!, Tim has begun touring on his own, writing and performing new content since the band played their final shows last Christmas. Tim’s sound and voice are known around the world, however he holds a special place on the East Coast. Many of the Hey Rosetta! songs that he wrote and performed with that band are very music considered anthems in the Maritime provinces.
