What year is it?

Alrighty, time to end the winter hibernation with a way-past-due posting on the BBQT show at Cinqhole from way back on Nov. 7 - two months ago! First up, Salmon Ella, a mighty fine quartet formed at the Rock Camp for Women+ in 2017. Here's some ukulele action with Katie!

SBSW: Night Three, Part Two

Last time I saw BBQT (come to think of it, it was the first time, too) was at last year's Ottawa Explosion. Fun pop sounds then as now. They had also just released a new EP, Nice View. Here's Amery and Mikey!

Bondar finished the night off. It's been about five years since I saw them last, at a Gabba Hey show put on by the Ottawa Explosion crowd (which might have been the last time anyone saw them; if not, close to it). There was a good crowd to catch their reunion, and the band sounded fantastic. Here's Gary working some feedback!

Ottawa Explosion: Day 3, Part I

Ottawa Explosion kept on rolling on Friday, with shows at Oz Cafe (some Martha folks performing as Onsind), The 27 Club, Dominion Tavern and in the parking lot of the Clocktower. First band of the evening was Dusk, a Wisconsin combo with a nice country rock sound. Here's Julia on keys and singing, Ryley on guitar and Amos on bass!
