A Scientific Sea Shanty: Banting's Imparted Years (Stan Rogers parody) | A Capella Science (Tim Blais, a physicist from Montreal)
His decisions to combine his love for music and physics is now finally starting to pay off. (238,000 YouTube channel subscribers)
"By hook or by crook, I am paying the rent with this," Blais told CBC's Homerun.
He says he's supported by ad revenues, mp3 and poster sales, as well as fan support through the website Patreon.
​"So far, this mutual trust in each other seems to work out," said Blais.

His fan base was initially made up of physicists who could understand the complex lyrics of his songs, but Blais said families have told him they listen to his work, too.

Thursday, May 17th at Pressed, Doors @ 7:30 pm, $10

Vancouver alt-folk artist Sam Lynch is a wanderer and a restless mind, who sings her heart onto her sleeve by way of reflective, honest lyrics, and a nuanced, emotionally transparent live performance. She stands armed with a guitar and a voice that carries echoes from decades passed, yet still commands space in the current tapestry, garnering her comparisons to the likes of Feist, Phoebe Bridgers and Margaret Glaspy. This May and June, Sam embarks upon a solo tour of Eastern Canada in support of her debut EP release, Light and Lines.

SHOWBOX CONCERT SERIES ft...

Sparklesaurus (Ottawa dreampop)
https://sparklesaurus.bandcamp.com/

Like glitter-infused jelly on toast, Ottawa’s Sparklesaurus spreads their shimmering sounds. The sounds can be described as living room dream pop - pairing the emotional rawness of garage with the lush tonalities of glam, set in a low-lit, carpeted living room.


GINNY (Ottawa eerie-country)
https://ginny-band.bandcamp.com/

"GINNY is the latest band formed in the nation’s capital with members of a bunch of other great bands. Fronted by vocalist Lesley Marshall (Bonnie Doon), guitarist Catriona Sturton (ex-Plumbtree), and bassist Kristy Nease (Area Resident), GINNY’s haunting country styling arrives just in time as we flirt with the return of spring but keep being reminded of the harshness of winter." - Eric Scharf, OSBX


Keturah Johnson (Ottawa heavy soul)
https://keturahjohnson.bandcamp.com/
