Blackbox Concert Series with Evening Hymns and Giant Hand
Blackbox Concert Series kicked off their first show on March 20th.
It was held at the gallery which is upstairs of the Irving Greenberg Theatre.
The headliner was Toronto’s Evening Hymn.
Opener was Ottawa’s own Giant Hand.
It was a wonderful sold out show to attend.
It was a great start for BlackBox Concert Series and hoping they will have more shows in the coming future.
Here are the photos from the show

Giant Hand/Ben Somer and Matt Paxton @ Raw Sugar Cafe
Ottawa must be getting a late winter storm on February 25th.
Decided to brave outside and head up to Raw Sugar Cafe.
Playing at the show were:
Chris Page at Compact Music
February 16, 2010 was the official release for Chris Page‘s A Date With A Smoke Machine (Review).
He did an in-store session at Compact Music on Bank St.
Despite being at noon there were some people who were there to hear him play.
Don’t worry Chris will be playing an official CD launch show for his album on February 27th at the Dom Polski.
It was a fun session Chris put on.
Here is a short clip I took of the in-store session:

Basia Bulat/Leif Vollebekk @ First Baptist Church – Feb 13, 2010
This is my first time posting here.
February 13th was an amazing lovely sold out night to see Basia Bulat and Leif Vollebekk play in Ottawa.
It was like a CD Release show too since she recently released her second album “Heart Of My Own“.
It has been two years since she played the church.
Something about her playing at the church made it so magical live.
If you are a first timers or repeater then you will be blown away on how a great musician she is.
Leif Vollebekk started out the show.
As you may of known, he has been frequently featured in this site various times.
Absolutely an amazing talented musician.
This is his third time opening up for Basia in Ottawa.
This time he had a backing band to play.
Made his set alot lively.
Played tracks from his upcoming album, a Neil Young cover and some from Inlands.
Didn’t play my favorite which was 1921.
As mentioned previously, an artist you need to watch in 2010.
