Monday Jan. 2

It looks like another quiet week for original music so I'd like to highlight a new/old residency at Heart & Crown in the ByWard Market.

In pre-COVID times there was a duo who played every Monday night called Brown Paper Bag consisting of Eric St. Cyr and Jasen Colson. They were so much fun to watch and listen to. Sadly, Eric is not really performing music at this time so Jasen will be resuming the Monday night residency on his own with special guests each week. I'm excited that this is starting up because it always seems to turn into an Industry night where a bunch of fellow musicians come out and tends to turn into a big jam party. Sometimes the best shows are where musicians are just playing because they love it. The fun starts at 9 pm and ends somewhere around 1 am.

Now for the list... it's very short:

8 pm - Chateau Lafayette - Dave Bignell Band

There are a couple of events that I'm not sure about. I think most people are taking a break after NYE but there is usually live music at Elmdale Oyster House with John Carroll and also an open mic at Moose McGuire's in Kanata that I haven't seen any posts about them as of writing this post. Lots of web sites haven't been updated and there are a bunch of places that aren't having their usual events, like Red Bird Live and Daniel O'Connell's, etc.

Cheers everyone!
