I draw your attention to two shows you may be unaware; the first because a legend will be coming through town when the Ottawa Explosion is on and might have escaped your attention. Yes, Tav Falco and His Unapproachable Panther Burns will be at Zaphod's this Thursday. You could certainly catch his set and a bunch of Explosion stuff as well. The second I'll mention because it's for a good cause and I wouldn't want to see it buried during a weekend where there's also the TD Jazzfest and Dragon Boast festival going on: Justin Hines' Vehicle of Change Tour will be at the Ottawa University Alumni Theatre this Sunday at 7 p.m.; proceeds will benefit Canada World Youth.
