Night two of Capital Music Weekend (CxMW) brought a packed house to the Bronson Centre Music Theatre for a sold-out, free show that felt anything but ordinary.
Headliner Elijah Woods returned for a highly anticipated homecoming set, and the energy in the room matched the occasion.
The night opened with Emma Lamontagne, whose emotionally rich vocals and vulnerable songwriting captivated the early crowd.
Akeem Oh followed with a charismatic and genre-blending sad boy pop performance that effortlessly set the stage for what was to come.
By the time Elijah Woods took the stage, the room was buzzing with screaming girls.
Performing a set that blended fan favourites with heartfelt banter, Woods proved why he’s become a rising pop force while staying grounded in his Ottawa roots.
