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. This was my first time seeing the band play. Alex Dirk of Begonia just had that amazing vocal when she sang. Reminds me …
It’s been a long time waiting, I finally got a chance to see Zola Jesus. Not sure if this was her first Ottawa show? Having missed out in festivals like NXNE, CMW and Pop Montreal. I was totally excited to see her perform live. It was just her and her guitarist Alex DeGroot. The whole …
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 …
