AN INTERVIEW with David GoGo! He’s got himself a brand new album, and a DOUBLE NIGHT BILL at the Rainbow for their 37th anniversary this weekend!

ABOUT DAVID
Veteran Canadian bluesman David Gogo is releasing his 16th full length album “Silver Cup” on October 8 2021. This acoustic affair was recorded at his home with longtime friend Steve Marriner producing and playing on the project. The COVID pandemic and subsequent shutdown of the live music scene gave Gogo time to reflect on his life, heritage and career and the new songs he has written reflect this.

The title track was inspired by an antique cup made in the 1800’s that was passed down to him from his 95 year old grandmother. The cup once belonged to his Great,Great, Great Uncle James McKay who was a Métis builder of Canada. McKay was originally a trapper and guide, but eventually was involved in the negotiations of Treaties 1 through 5 and held several positions with the newly formed Province of Manitoba, including dealings with Louis Riel.

David Gogo has six JUNO Award nominations, has been named Guitarist Of The Year three times at the Maple Blues Awards, was named Musician Of The Year at the West Coast Music Awards, won Blues Recording Of The Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and received the Great Canadian Blues Award for his lifetime contribution to the blues in Canada as voted by the listeners of CBC's Saturday Night Blues.

Raine Hamilton - Brave Land Canadian New
Love Has Come For Me
Raine Hamilton - Brave Land Canadian New
Resonant, acoustic chamber folk with an other-world ly edge, and a lyric presence that cuts deep. Prism-clear vocals + strings. Anchored in the ancient mountains, reaching out beyond the earthly.

Raine is part prairie songstress, part storyweaver; Each song has a story, delivered between songs with humour and grace. Raine invites her love of the violin into the singer-songwriter genre, writing for violin and voice, as well as for guitar and voice. Joined by cello and upright bass, expect string arrangements that push and pull, that move as they console.

Art is for everyone, music is for everyone. Raine often performs alongside an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, making her concerts accessible to the Deaf community. She is great with kids; Ask her about her songwriting workshops.

AN INTERVIEW with Mad Gamma! This Folk Rock Trio has a new EP, and a show this Saturday at Avant Garde with Class of 91 and Sorry Snowman!

We are Mad Gamma, an Ottawa-based folk-rock band composed of members Matt Atchison (drums, bass, vocals), Emma Bulchak-Healy (vocals, piano, synth), and Sam Fisher (guitar, vocals). Drawing inspiration from artists including Hawksley Workman, Pink Floyd, and Fleetwood Mac, our music blends dynamic three-part harmonies and anthemic rock with progressive, folk, and jazz influences.

We write about our lived experiences with conflict, mental health, recovery, and personal growth. Our songs seek to find beauty in the unexpected, meaning in moments of darkness, and strength in our struggles.

The Pizza Song
The Good Guys - The Good Guys Canadian New
The Good Guys is a new modern jazz fusion band based in Ottawa. Composed of five seasoned musicians, this up-and-coming instrumental ensemble is really “all about the music.” Soaring rock guitar solos mingle with chunky saxophone lines in an experience that sounds like the ghost of Chick Corea crashed a Ninja Turtles pizza party. Their debut eponymous album ranges from bombastic to introspective, with influences from Charlie Parker and Snarky Puppy to King Crimson and Jamiroquai. A Good Guys show spans the grooviest funk to the most introspective jazz, in a one-of-a-kind experience audiences are sure to enjoy.
