The newly-renovated Bronson Centre really feels like a concert venue now, and not the high school auditorium it once was. The curved hanging speakers look nice, and the dark standing-room floors (the floor seats are gone!) draw attention to the stage. I can report that the sound system was just right: not too loud, not too quiet.

Carly Rae Jepsen’s fans, on the other hand, were much louder.

Its September, school is in and summer is still holding on. If you are looking for something to do, Spectrasonic has some great shows to catch in the Ottawa this month.

TORONTO, ON – Today, Multi-platinum GRAMMY, JUNO Award and Polaris Prize nominated singer/songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen announces her Dedicated Canadian tour dates. Kicking off August 28, 2019 in Vancouver, BC the tour will hit 12 cities wrapping September 19, 2019 in London, ON.

Proud Windsor, ON native, Kelsi Mayne is a Canadian Country Music singer-songwriter, 2016 FACTOR grant recipient, and Top 7 Finalist in the upcoming Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase. With an award-winning journalist as father and an acclaimed sculptor/muralist as a mother, Kelsi was constantly surrounded and influenced by a world of art. She developed her performing skills early on, competing on the Canada-U.S. Highland Dancing circuit. Soon she made moves to become a vocalist and began to achieve success in several talent competitions – once winning the opportunity to open for the Neverending White Lights when she was just 16 years old.

It has just been announced that Canadian Rock/Pop stars Hedley will headline North Bay Summer in The Park’s Friday night on July 29.

Hedley is one of those artists that I’ve listened to over the past few years, admittedly even cranked a few of their tunes in the car but never really paid that much attention to…that is until they blew the roof off of the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa on Saturday night.
