Graven and the O-town Scene
Alright, I know my buddy Matty McKechnie has a new band called The New Band but, between you, me and that guy who doesn’t look at me sideways when I pour ten pounds of vanilla powder in my Bridgehead cup of java, I gotta’ say Graven and the O-town Scene is a pretty vanilla caked coffee sweet runner up.
Crystalena and leMeow | Dress For Success Ottawa Fundraiser
Two multi-talented local Ottawa area bands came together on June 8 with Crystalena and leMeow at the Blacksheep Inn in Wakefield, Qc in support of Dress For Success Ottawa which, as noted on their website, helps empower women with clothing and career workshops, a true network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. A perfect opportunity for these musicians to do what they love to do all in the name of a great cause.
Amos the Transparent rock their annual holiday show
The final work week before the holidays has come to its end so what better way to kick off the holidays then to attend Amos the Transparent’s annual holiday show?! The band has been fairly under the radar since their 2014 release of ‘This Cold Escape’ but have made it a tradition to play a holiday show, and this year they returned to the Blacksheep Inn in Wakefield Quebec to celebrate the season with about 200 of their closest friends and fans.
