Photos by: Brendan Albert – Review by: Adam Harrison – Last night, Massey Hall played host to the sweet and sad tunes of Ryan Adams. Currently touring for his sixteenth studio album, Prisoners, Adams brought us more tales of melancholy as his 2015 divorce to singer/actress Mandy Moore inspired his latest record.

How does it feel to be alive?!”, screamed Metallica frontman James Hetfield at last night’s charity show at the Opera House in Toronto put on by the Grammy Award-winning quartet.

UK indie pop singer-songwriter Tom Odell appeared promptly on stage in Toronto’s Mod Club last night and seated himself at the piano bench. “Still Getting Used to Being on My Own”, swelled throughout the venue above the audience’s cheers, as … Continue reading

By: Alyssa Balistreri, & Shahnoor Ijaz – Firefly was a whirlwind of shattered expectations. After attending several Canadian music festivals, this one completely changed the way I view them. The lineup was incredible. Artists like Death Cab for Cutie, Ludacris, and Blink 182 brought back memories and nostalgia, having the crowd sing their throwbacks at the top of … Continue reading
By: Daniel Gerichter (@ZenDonut) – If you had to describe Lucinda Williams’ sound or songwriting style, the term “road worn” comes to mind. But judging from night one of her two-night stint at the Opera House last night, her voice and passion for her craft are anything but. At 63-years-old, Williams is essentially peerless. Her music is … Continue reading
By: Lucy Sky – Madchild’s show at Babylon nightclub in downtown Ottawa on January 21st was a night filled with dirty beats, and the grimiest of rhymes.
