We have added a Songwriting Workshop to this monthly series! The talented Brooklyn Doran will be the workshop facilitator and will talk about her tricks of the trade as well as help you put together any songs you’re currently working on.
7p-9p: Songwriting Workshop
9p-1130p: Show

Never been to an In The Round? These concerts focus on the stories behind the music, and the songs themselves. The music is stripped back to allow listeners to really experience the songs at the most authentic level. What it also means is that we won’t be having ‘sets’ per se – all four songwriters will be on stage together the whole time!

The first thing that strikes listeners about Hamilton’s Gillian Nicola is the strength of her vocals. This rising singer/songwriter calls on influences of folk, rock and alt-country to bring a sound both unique to her and that honours her diverse taste.

What started out once as a tiny little trio in late 2009 has grown into a core six-piece reggae groove outfit that brings the good vibes. That said, these days it’s more like a nine-piece! Four part harmonies, a blend of reggae roots, a touch of afrobeat, and some funky breaks, it’s always a rockin’ dance party!
7pm – Bryce Jardine & The Parlour Birds, and Roxanne Potvin – $5
Yummy music!
Roxanne Potvin has “a voice like melted butter on mashed potatoes.” – Rich Terfry (aka Buck 65), CBC Radio 2 Drive
A solid lineup of upcoming talent from MVDhouse camp.
Topped off with very good company from burlesquer Rubie Magnitude. Tunes by Salazar.

Our view on songwriting is that it’s a craft to be honed everyday, and with talent and work, it can evolve to high art… And as serious as that sounds, rest assured, there’s more than a little bit of fun going on around here… ; )
WHEN:
10pm every Monday.
Sign up at 9pm sharp.
Special feature performer every Monday at 9:15pm
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE ON STAGE?:
2 songs per performer.
IS IT ONLY ACOUSTIC?
Short answer… No.
We’re Electrified. And Acoustic.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC…?
All genres welcome. We’ve engineered them all… You’ll sound great.
I’M A MAGICIAN. I’M A VENTRILOQUIST. I’M A COMEDIAN. I’M A MIME. MAY I STILL PERFORM?
Short answer… No. We’re keeping it strictly music. Beat poetry, Rap poetry excepted (Shram) as it’s musical.
We’ve welcomed various diciplines in the past, and we’ve had a great time, yet we’ve decided it’s best to organize a separate night to allow the necessary space, time, and unique vibe they each deserve. Sorry folks, but on the bright side, please come in + talk to us about a show idea!
