this week in Ottawa: 06.19.06 - 06.25.06


John K. Samson and The Weakerthans can make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

Show highlights this week include Winnipeg's The Weakerthans, who bring their Impossible Distances tour to town on Tuesday, as well as Danny Michel & his yet-to-be-revealed All Star Band on Wednesday, when he will be having his official Ottawa CD release party for Valhalla. It also looks like it'll be his last stop here for a while, so catch him while you can. Also, The Ottawa Jazz Festival gets going on Thursday.

On June 24, I guess we're having our own little St-Jean-Baptiste day celebration, with a total of six seven eight dial613-listed shows on June 24.
At which show will you be celebrating the patron saint of Quebec?

Which show(s) do you recommend?
Are there any that have been left out?

I'll be at the Nobodies show on Saturday...but I'm promoting it, so I'm biased.

Kat Burns is also playing at 59 Argyle after they're done at The Black Sheep...I wish I'd known they were with The Acorn, or else I would've tried to get a drive out there!

And From Fiction isn't playing on Friday anymore...they broke up, and they've been replaced by The October Sky.

thanks for the info, got the shows up/fixed.

steve, those are some lofty comparisons.. which, in turn, are matched with lofty expectations. (i will never say lofty again)

matthew, what's at 59 argyle.. a house?

59 Argyle is indeed a house...they have shows there every so often, but I've never been so I don't know what it's like there.
