Jailbirds: if you love bands like Monster Truck and Royal Blood, these are guys! Hard hitting, old school rock! Great stuff!

Bleeker: Uber talented, super tight, very polished 90ish rock/grunge sound. I should have loved them from the top, but following the band before (fun & surprising), it took some time to warm up to them but in the end, they got me! Awesome Day #1! #nxne #NXNE2025

Wow! Spoke too soon about #harmandease. They moved from Rock to Latin style (think Santana Supernatural) to Chili Pepperish... I can't figure how to label them - SO I WON'T. Except maybe FUN! #NXNE

Wow! Really loving this band. Melodic guitar reminiscent of early U2. Lead vocalist has a great raspy, almost bluesy voice. We're offloading a great start! #NXNE2025 #FeralMinks

Yay! It's Election Day in Canada! I just cast my ballot and hope that each of my fellow Canadians do, too! No matter your political views, we should all still cherish the fact that we have this important right. Now more than ever! #CanadaVotes

Habs vs Caps. Glad to see respect shown with the National Anthems. The two gentlemen singers also did a lovely job of the Canadian anthem. #NHLPlayoffs.

I spent a couple hours at #Allen's on the Danforth tonight. Happy to see a lineup for the Danforth Music Hall. Not a band for my taste, but so glad to see the many fans out inn support of live music. Wonderful!

A true and sad fact. I can't see how this relationship can ever be completely reconciled... not in my lifetime, at the very least.

I've been silent here so far. I now need to call out to my fellow Canadians. Be vigilant in your resolve to buy Cdn. Please try to understand & support each other across political divides. There are tough days ahead, but together, we can overcome to be a stronger, more united country. #candastrong
