Show Thoughts & Shots // Nancy Wilson & Roadcase Royale – 15.08.18

August 16, 2018 Trev

What do you get if you take a pair of players from Prince’s The New Power Generation, toss in one of the Wilson sisters (Nancy) from '70s rock outfit Heart, and a trio of players from that same band? The answer is Roadcase Royale, a bluesy rock n’ roll outfit that has managed to harness…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Matt Andersen w/ The Mellotones & Whitehorse @ the TD Halifax Jazz Festival

August 7, 2018 Trev

On a night where the weather had the Halifax Jazz Festival huddled under tarps, a large bank of fog and cloud enveloped the concert grounds with a heavy mist, occasionally reaching shower status. Needless to say, it was not an evening conducive to photography. However, it was an evening that almost saw this photog hit…Read More

Thoughts and Shots // Halifax Jazz Fest N2 – The War on Drugs w/ Alvvays

July 19, 2018 Trev

When it comes to live music, Halifax has a spotty history of turning up at shows. You want to put together a glorified retro-night loaded with classic '90s-era R&B and hip-hop acts, the house is packed, you bring in a well-known act who have visited town regularly throughout their storied career, people turn up in…Read More

Show Thoughts and Shots // Halifax Jazz Fest 2018 – Night 1: Molly Johnson

July 17, 2018 Trev

Sunday evening saw the 2018 TD Halifax Jazz Festival wind down with the powerhouse offering of Charlotte Day Wilson and Daniel Caesar, and now we can relax and unload our memory cards and let the reminiscing begin. As with previous years, we tend to set up shop at the mainstage, and take in the top…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Sebastian Bach & The Standstills @ Casino NS

July 7, 2018 Trev

On Wednesday evening in Halifax, there were a legion of fans who were busy prepping for a night with Sebastian Bach with a blow-dryer and a can of industrial hold hairspray. Many folks who came of age in the '80s and '90s, and grew up with a steady diet of Ratt, Cinderella, and Skid Row,…Read More

TBT // Show Thoughts & Shots // Postdata @ The Seahorse – 31.05.18

June 7, 2018 Trev

When is Wintersleep, not Wintersleep? I don’t know if it’s possible, or even fair to try and have the discussion in an attempt to find the line of demarcation between the two acts. At the heart of both acts is front-man Paul Murphy’s unmistakable delivery, and at his side is longtime collaborator Tim D’Eon, but…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Weaves w/ Like a Motorcycle @ The Seahorse Tavern – May 17, 2018

May 29, 2018 Trev

Considering the backlash that bubbled up when Truro’s Rock the Hub released their initial lineup for the 2018 iteration, it’s refreshing to see the talented acts who have found themselves booked on Halifax stages as of late. The month of May has seen acts such as The Beaches, Feist, Jenn Grant, and Rose Cousins play…Read More

Show Thoughts and Shots // Feist @ The Rebecca Cohn // 25.05.18

May 26, 2018 Trev

As the laundry list of Divas and Pop Stars such as the Britneys and Christinas will attest, it's not difficult to break onto the scene and carve out a niche for yourself. The challenge then becomes, in a crowded scene, how do you elevate your sound to reach that rarefied air to walk alongside singer-songwriters…Read More

Show Thoughts and Shots: ECMA Edition!

May 22, 2018 Trev

Do you ever get the feeling that life is just a never-ending treadmill that could care less that you fell from it weeks ago, and that you’re now laying in a crumpled heap of photos and boxes? It’s hard, nay impossible to believe that the East Coast Music Awards were almost 3 weeks ago, and…Read More

ECMA 2018 – Mitch’s Fav Five // Photo Gallery

May 16, 2018 Mitch

Now that the dust has settled and we're not licking our collective ECMA wounds, let's think back to the fun we had and the vast amount of entertainment we took in over a week in Halifax. Long days, late nights, and enough drinks to drown a fish...we all survived. Here's a peek at the five…Read More
