Who should go?

If you like acoustic music with great vocals, harmonies and a band that knows how to have fun - The Red Hill Valleys and their supporting crew for this show definitely fit the bill.

Why should I go?

The Red Hill Valleys (band website) sway between country, folk, Americana and southern rock. I like this band because they don't take themselves too seriously and you feel like you're listening to a bunch of friends at a house party - you'll love it. Check out this car jam to see what I mean

On top of that, they have a really great line up for the night with Sweet Roger, Mattie Leon and Abigal Lapelle. Try not to miss this show.

About Mattie Leon

https://www.mattieleon.com/
Mattie has showcased at Canadian Music Week (Toronto), was a semi finalist in CBC's searchlight competition (you may have heard him on CBC 1).

He describes his music as a beautiful balance between R&B/Folk and Pop and if you're into Ryan Adams, John Mayer, Paul Simon or bands like blue rodeo, or the band, you'll probably find something to like with Mattie's material.
"You see this guy bounce between guitar and piano…equally comfortable on both and with a voice that melts like butter on toast" - Talia Shlanger - CBC Radio 2

About Abigal Lapell

https://www.abigaillapell.com/
Toronto’s Abigail Lapell draws freely from folk-roots, indie and punk rock traditions. She received the 2016 Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award from the Ontario Arts Council, and NOW Magazine called her a “musician to watch” in 2017.

Lapell has toured across North America, Europe and the U.K., performing on vocals, piano, harmonica and finger style guitar. HIDE NOR HAIR, her sophomore CD/LP, is out now on Coax Records.
"Dreamy and atmospheric... powerful, sweet voice and warm guitar sound"
— NOW Toronto

About Sweet Roger

https://sweetroger.com/
Hailing from Montreal, Sweet Roger combines folk, Americana, and alternative influences into lush arrangements ripe with melodic hooks and poignant lyrics

Sweet Roger comes to Hamilton ahead of his Canadian Music Week Performance. He could possibly be the highlight of this entire lineup.

About the venue

This Ain’t Hollywood - one of the best music bars in Canada, and with the best sound guy in the city you’re always guaranteed a good show. The entrance is at the side of the building (look for the patio), great owners, great staff and awesome music. Weeknight shows often start early (8pm usually) so if you have to work in the morning you can still go. Check times on the website to be sure.

Glenn Matthews Shhh and livestalk @ HAVNThurs April 13th w Queerfang music from 8:30-11:15pm doors @ 8:00pm $ pwyc all ages genre: mixed punk,no wave,slowcore,hush, noise...etc... Who should go If you like a bit of angst in your tea.  If you aren't afraid of a little dissonance and music that's far away from the mainstream.  If you're comfortable in a smaller unlicenced venue.  This is a queer/trans/femme identifying friendly event so you should feel especially welcome if you identify as such. Why should I go? Glenn Matthews, Shhh and livestalk & the bodies are a pretty solid lineup - this should be pretty great. Set Times 8:30//////// QUEERFANG (ham) So this is Queerfang's first show apparently - give them a shot 9:15/////// Glenn Matthews (philly) somber songwrite slowcore https://glennmatthews.bandcamp.com/ If you can't make it early try to make it by 9:15.  Glenn's writing is solid.  His songs (like next time we meet) hit

Corin Raymond @ Artword Artbar - Sat Apr 29

Corin Raymond + Treasa Levasseur & Brian Kobayakawa, Sat Apr 29 Genre:  Folk Singer/Songwriter 8 pm $15. https://www.corinraymond.com/shows Singer/storyteller Corin Raymond will be joined by Hamilton-based keyboardist and songbird Treasa Levasseur, along with upright bassist Brian Kobayakawa, for an entertaining evening of new songs and old. Why Should I Go?  If you don't know Corin or haven't heard of him I can personally vouch for the fact that you will absolutely enjoy this show.  Corin not only writes great songs but also captivates the audience with the (often funny) stories behind his songs. Corin may very well still be celebrating the Juno nomination for his album Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams, as well as sharing some songs as yet unrecorded. “Corin Raymond is a storyteller who by the end of the night you’ll have known your whole life.” – The Globe and Mail.

Playing It Forward - Hamilton Music Scene

Image
Last Tuesday was a great night for the Hamilton music scene and you should have been there.  Playing It Forward was the brainchild of Hamilton's Shari Dunn and Jonny Kerr.  On their own, Jonny and Shari have been performing in the Hamilton and Brantford area and are a talented duo.  Regular performances at the Cat and Fiddle and on the bill with many other local artists have connected the duo to many of the best performers in the Hamilton Area. Playing it forward had the double goal of raising money for a worthy cause (the Brian Lee Grifith Guitar Bursary) and bringing together some of Hamilton's best singers, songwriters and performers for a celebration of their songs.
