Concert Review // Gord Downie – Secret Path // Rebecca Cohn – 11.29.16

November 30, 2016 Trev

It’s not often that the public forum afforded to a performer is used in such a profound and lasting way, but that is exactly what Gord Downie is doing with his Secret Path project. After wrapping what could very well be the final performance by The Tragically Hip (as Downie is battling terminal brain cancer),… Read More

October 25, 2016 Trev

Those of us who basked in the glow of Halifax’s coronation as “The Next Seattle”, back in the early nineties, are more than familiar with the bands involved. That shine has long since dissipated, and many of those early Halifax indie rock bands have since disbanded (and in some cases, reformed and disbanded again). There… Read More

Concert Review // Hayden @ St. Matthew’s Church // 09.21.16

September 28, 2016 Trev

When I was in my twenties, Hayden’s debut album Everything I Long For wasn’t the album I was tossing on the stereo to kick off the night. But now as I close in on my forties it’s not entirely out of the question (well, unless tequila is involved). It’s an album well suited to just… Read More

August 25, 2016 Trev

Almost two decades ago, country-music goliath Garth Brooks brought his tour to the (then) Halifax Metro Centre for an unheard-of string of 4 sold-out performances. Now, almost twenty years later, another country juggernaut, Rascal Flatts, took to the (now) Scotiabank Centre stage to perform for the packed room on a late summer Thursday evening.

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

April 19, 2016 Trev

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.

The Sheepdogs @ The Marquee // March 16th, 2016

March 19, 2016 Trev

There are those bands who break overnight, become the media darlings of the moment, hit the road on a cross-country adventure, only to quickly implode and disband just as quickly as they broke through. The Canadian musical landscape is littered with countless bands who flirted with fame and fortune only to flame out, leaving nary… Read More
