It’s beautiful summertime and the “Best Music Festival in Canada” is happening imminently. The Evolve Festival is an incredible three-day experience based on the celebration of music, community, art and the planet on which it all happens. Evolve is getting more attention than ever this year, after CBC Radio3 listeners voted the event as [...]

My initial impression of Andrea Ramolo, when I met her, can be summed up into two words: “Bold” and “Outdoorsy”. Why? When I approached her, she spoke to me as if she already knew me, like an old friend, like no introduction was necessary. The outdoorsy part, well her attire screamed indie folk songstress [...]

Last Friday was, in my opinion, perfect. I got to see Said the Whale for my birthday, I couldn’t ask for more than that! The show was at the Starlite room in Edmonton, AB. I’ve mostly been going to shows held in the basement of Starlite, at the building’s smaller venue called Brixx, so [...]

Singer/songwriter’s are usually well respected for their finely crafted songs and lyrical poetry, yet many times they are plain hard to understand and relate to. Enter Andrea Ramolo, the Toronto based indie artist, who is currently on a 90+ show tour which will take her and bandmate Jason Skiendziel all across Canada. Her musical path [...]

Peterborough locals Bear Trees fronted by Mike Duguay (also of The Burning Hell) opened the night to a crowded Montreal House. It was an unusually masculine lineup, but delightful nonetheless. Bear Trees played an enthusiastic rock set ending with a song about St. John’s Newfoundland. Mike proclaimed the city to be the best in Canada, [...]

Others did make quite the trek travelling [...]

I consider the line-up for Friday night’s Postdata show to be epic. The tour  began with Postdata, Julie Fader and Brian Borcherdt but Brian had to leave half way through the tour and Clinton St. John took over.  According to the tickets, doors opened at 8:00 p.m., so we expected Clinton St. John [...]

The 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver were officially kicked off on Friday, March 12, when Edmonton group Hot Panda took the stage at the HIVE showcase. Signed to Vancouver’s own Mint Records, Hot Panda has been in town for a couple of weeks working on a new album. I was fortunate enough to [...]

Peterborough’s Montreal House was packed for B.A. Johnston on Saturday night. I was excited to see the large crowd after the attendance for his previous few shows had been underwhelming. I arrived with a B.A.-inexperienced friend conveniently for the set’s opening song, somewhat apologetic for missing Sons of Thor and Baker Muck [...]
