by Bluesandjazzguy
30 May 2010
Follow the link for some live music opportunities listed this week on the
Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide calendar
Besides those specifically listed here or on the calendar, there is info on
other venues' plans like Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's, Elmdale Tavern and Bass Line
Station etc. It can be found by clicking on venue links in the calendar to
access their schedules.
a.. Sunday May 30 - Steve Berndt & Eric Disero now play brunch every Sunday
at Bacci Bistro just over the E.B. Eddy bridge in Hull. Bacci Bistro has excellent
food, you've got to eat it to believe it.
b.. Tuesday 1 June - Bass Line Station presents Blues, R & B & Rock @ Bass Line Station
with its Tuesday - Electric Open Jam followed by an acoustic jam Wednesday 2 June.
c.. Thursday 3 June - Enjoy Candle Light Acoustic Music with Al Tambay & Friends
Every Thursday evening Al Tambay & Friends perform Acoustic music for your listening
pleasure. Al's unigue sense of humor combined with Tucson's excellent full menu and
atmosphere make for a relaxing enjoyable evening. No Cover!
a.. Friday and Saturday 4 & 5 June
- Bluestone is at Tucson's Friday. This distinctive rock band features two lead guitars
(male and female), bass, drums, not to mention all four members on vocals. With nearly
thirty original songs under their belt, Bluestone is a prolific song-writing unit.
- Conspiracy a fun-loving band that plays the best of classic rock and R&B mixed with
some of today's best tunes is at Tucson's Saturday.
- The Ethics are at Rainbow Bistro Friday. These talented locals put out their second album,
At Cities' End, earlier this year. Their music has been gathering more attention lately -
and deservedly so - but they're especially known for putting on a killer live show,
complementing their energetic stage presence with an impeccable sense of style
- Barrelhouse is at Rainbow Bistro Saturday. Known for their tribute to The Allman Brothers,
and Steely Dan, This excellent group of 7 musicians allow the group to cover eccelectic and
complex songs, medleys and arrangements that very few Classic Rock bands ever dare. Also expect
an array of classics by your favourite bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Supertramp and
Stones and more!
I only highlight a small number of events that are posted to the calendar.
Nowhere near everything is posted on the calendar as it's musician/venue
optional to post, and amend the listings as needed. However more info can be found
on the calendar including links to such venue web sites as Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's,
The Elmdale and Bass Line Station that usually have more detailed schedules.
It's also a good idea to call a venue to confirm that regular listings still apply
as they sometimes just quietly go away or may be cancelled due to weather disruptions.
