Top 5 Gigs of the Weekend
We've combed the concert calendars and the gig listings to come up with five shows we feel you must see this weekend.
Sat Oct 27, Aidan Knight, Vancouver BC. Let's hope the Victoria singer-songwriter safely gets across the mountains to make this gig at the Rio Theatre, w/ Leif Vollebekk and Andy Shauf.
Sat Oct 27, Elliott Brood/Wintersleep, Montreal QU. Catch this excellent and somewhat unlikely double bill at the Corona Theatre.
Fri Oct 26, Bahamas/Jason Collett, Calgary AB. The crooner-swooner gig of the season, at the Commonwealth Bar and Stage.
Sat Oct 27, Monster Truck, Calgary AB. Get the exact opposite musical experience the next night at the Gateway SAIT.
Sat Oct 27, Rose Cousins, Ottawa ON. Catch one of Canada's most heartfelt and funniest singer-songwriters at the National Arts Centre.
What'd we miss? What are you doing this weekend?
