Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls stopped by Ottawa for a kick-ass concert at the Bronson Centre. Part of the Be More Kind World Tour which is from the album of the same name that came out this year. High energy folk-rock punk music that had the audience waving their arms, singing to his music, …
Lastly to finish things off that was CityFolk Festival 2018. Here are the photos that I took of people I know and randoms who was at the festival.
Here is the last day of CityFolk Festival 2018. It was a scorching day and kicked off with Ottawa’s own MonkeyJunk. They are a staple in the Ottawa’s blues-rock music scene. This was their first time performing at CityFolk and got some people brave the heat for their music. 6/10. I will be blunt on …
It’s been a hectic week with various things happening. But here is the coverage and photos from Day 4 of CityFolk Festival 2018.

Flint Eastwood was the first band to perform at Ravenlaw Stage. …
No doubt Day 2 of CityFolk Festival 2018 was definitely my favorite for who was performing that night. Started off with tUne-YaRds at 6pm. While it was early there was no way I was missing out. Considering the last time she was in Ottawa was in 2009 before she got really big. Impressive set which …
The last time I went and covered CityFolk Festival was in 2014 when the festival was at Hog’s Back . Why I kept missing CityFolk was because the festival happened at the same time as Pop Montreal (This year’s Pop is now at the end of September). So I finally got to check out the …
Definitely the big highlight at this year’s FME 2018 was Karkwatson. First of a two-night show. Karkwatson brings together Patrick Watson’s four-piece band and all five members of Karkwa for a complex, flexible, expressive musical languages. It was totally an unbelievable show. So unbelievable that I was bought to tears. Hearing both acts perform Beijing …
Took photos of people I know and some I don’t know who went to the second day/night of Bon-Fire 2018.
