The Blue Man Group is on a world tour and one of its stops on the Canadian leg of the tour is Ottawa. The award-winning stage show known for its trio of bald and blue performers, who have performed in over 20 countries and have been seen by more than 35 million people worldwide are at TD Place from February 20 to 23.

Sarah Brightman brings HYMN, an unforgettable spectacle, to Toronto
English classical crossover soprano, singer, songwriter, actress, dancer and musician Sarah Brightman visited Toronto in support of her latest album HYMN. The show was a spectacle, and the singing was anything but secondary. It was a Sarah Brightman concert, after all. That’s what the English soprano promises, and delivers, to her fans. Nothing short of an unforgettable spectacle.

Waking Lions-Interview with Pop Evil drummer Hayley Cramer
I’m sitting in the small green room at the back of the Brass Monkey in Ottawa, and waiting for the ultra-talented Pop Evil drummer Hayley Cramer. After a short wait she bounces into the room, looking cheerful and relaxed, and swipes her blonde hair off her face as she shakes my hand and introduces herself. We both have a good chuckle at the phallic doodles on the walls the bands have left behind, and sit down on the leather couch, and soon we are having more like a friendly chat rather than a scheduled interview.
British Lion roars through the Ottawa valley
The Brass Monkey was bound to be packed as it hosted a sold out show to one of the world’s most iconic bass player’s, Steve Harris’ side project British Lion on Saturday night. I don’t think there’s question about which band he normally plays for as his name alone stands for itself, but if you’ve been hiding under a rock for thirty years, that band would be Iron Maiden.
