October 10, 2022, at Art House Cafe

We’re going to be playing the patio at Art House Cafe from 2-4pm this Sunday (Thanksgiving!) If you’re a Thanksgiving orphan, don’t enjoy colonial holidays, or are just free and looking to enjoy outdoor music while that’s still possible, join us?

October 1, 2022 – Tunnelfest!

6pm, at the tunnel to the Library & Archives parking lot (behind the library, towards the river – here’s the spot on google maps) Kick off spooky month with us this Saturday – and a host of musical friends! We’ll be playing with Rubber Roses, Oddeline, Unsociably High, and Shawn Scissors/Myhill. Once again, the tunnel supplies natural reverb and amplification, the fresh air provides pleasant safety, we’ll supply the songs, you can make it special.

May 28 – Ottawa Drone Day

We’re going to be playing 6-7 pm on May 28 at Art House Cafe as part of Ottawa Drone Day. If you want to hear the saw (and other admittedly less exciting instruments) played through a bunch of dreamy-spooky effects and blended into old folk songs, you’ll like this. Ottawa Drone Day has activities all day too… there’s a youtube livestream and the adventure of performances start at 5pm at Art House and run through the evening.

Saturday April 30, 2022 at 6pm – Tunnelfest

The tunnel supplies natural reverb and amplification, the fresh air provides pleasant safety, we’ll supply the songs, you can make it special.
