Hadn’t been to the Blacksheep Inn in a long time. When I heard that Rich Aucoin was going to perform, there was no way I wouldn’t want to miss it. Thank goodness I found a friend who was willing to drive up and totally have a blast with his music! Taylor Knox started off the …
It was a busy October 13, 2018. Toronto singer/songwriter Matthew Barber was at the NAC Studio. I only stayed for the first three songs of his show!
A sold-out show at the NAC Studio with Jean-Michel Blais. Finally got to see a whole set of his music. The times I’ve seen him perform were mostly festival settings like Pop Montreal and FME. While I find taking photos at the NAC Studio can be very tricky but got the hang of it. One …
It was a bittersweet goodbye to Montreal’s Young Galaxy at the 27 Club on October 6, 2018. Who are one of my favorite Canadian acts in the past 10 years. No, they aren’t breaking up, it is more of a hiatus and wanting to focus on other projects. Apparently, Ottawa was the only night where …

Royal Canoe and Begonia stopped by The 27 Club on October 3, 2018. Part of their RAYZ tour and promote their split cassette single of Rayz/The Light. Begonia was first to perform.

On the fourth day of Pop Montreal 2018. Here was what went on from Saturday. Kind of a chilly afternoon at the Mile End Block Party. It was the Focus Wales BBQ showcase. Not from Wales, Montreal’s Alexa Avina performed a nice dreamy ambient pop music. 8/10. HMS Morris delivered an wonderful indie synth and …
On the third day of Pop Montreal 2018. Here was what went on from Friday. Started off by checking out the Mile End Block Party. Caught most of Jacobus. If you aren’t familiar with his other band Radio Radio, it is mostly Acadian hip-hop and electronic music. 7/10. Made it into the sold out show …
Sorry for the delay on my coverage of Pop Montreal 2018. These were who I saw on the second day of the festival. Began by seeing Toronto’s Luka perform at Phonopolis. Wonderful intimate singer-songwrite folk pop music. 8/10. I actually went to SAT for the first time. It was the last night of the Reb …
