April 10, 2023 Trev

Towards the tail end of 2022, one of those rare one-in-a-million shows was announced.

While it's not as dire as last spring, we've been pretty fortunate to have had a fairly mild winter (even if it is still taking swipes at us in mid-April), so in honour of the return to the warmer Canadian months, I've assembled a few tunes that will definitely heat things up and get you… Read More

Concert Review // Matt Andersen w/ Donovan Woods // 15.04.16

Outside the sleet was falling, making for a fairly typical damp April evening in Halifax. The pre-game of automobile musical chairs was growing more challenging by the minute, spots dwindling as folks made their way into the Rebecca Cohn for the impending show.
