March 16, 2024 Trev

Being on the East Coast, we’re used to feeling like we’ve been left off of another touring map, but when City and Colour announced a co-headline tour with Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, there was definite joy in Halifax. It not only marked City and Colour’s return to Halifax after a 5-year absence, but… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Megadeth @ The Scotiabank Centre // 15.05.2023

May 19, 2023 Trev

The altar of Metal is not one that this writer regularly worships, as my listening ear is more geared toward a little less intensity. However, when Heavy Metal royalty comes to town, you pop in your earplugs and go pay your respects. Megadeth’s most recent visit to the Maritimes capped off their 13-date cross-Canada trek,… Read More

Walking to the Scotiabank Centre, you could feel the anticipation that was hanging in the air as people streamed into the arena concourse eagerly awaiting the doors to open.

Show Thoughts & Shots // James Taylor w/ Jackson Browne @ The Scotiabank Centre – 24.04.22

April 27, 2022 Trev

One would think that a Sunday night show in Halifax would be a deterrent for some folks. But when you put two legendary singer-songwriters on the same bill, you’ll quickly find a slew of folks who are quick to embrace the recently pitched Get Back Out There slogan.

Show Thoughts & Shots // The Offspring & Sum 41 @ The Scotiabank Centre – 12.11.2019

November 15, 2019 Trev

There are entire industries built around the pursuit of eternal youth, be it pharmaceutical, fashion, or cosmetic. People have long hunted for the Fountain of Youth, and much like Ponce de Leon before them, the dream has always been eroded by the sands of time. We all have these moments, that we would love to… Read More

Shots & Thoughts // Blue Rodeo w/The Skydiggers @ The Scotiabank Centre – 02.08.19

February 11, 2019 Trev

There aren't many bands or musical acts that can put together a career than spans a decade, let alone more than 3.

Show Thoughts & Shots // Our Lady Peace, Matthew Good and Ascot Royals – Mar 5

March 7, 2018 Trev

For a show that featured two Can-Con juggernauts, and a relatively new band kicking the night off; the theme of the evening seemed to be Nostalgia.
