What’s a Sofar Sounds show?
A secret venue.
A surprise lineup.
A room full of strangers who get quiet when the music starts.
3 artists. Raw sets. Real talent. No distractions, no talking over the music, just real connection, and a room full of people actually listening.

This past Sunday, @levitanevents from @sofarsounds curated a space and lineup that transported everyone in attendance.
As a performer I was taken aback by the ambience of the room, the support and enthusiasm from the audience, and the talent I witnessed. It was unreal to be in the spotlight alongside the power and energy that @domlandmusic and @shaemara_ convey.
When I got the memo that this night would be an opportunity to try out new material, I didn’t know what to expect, nevertheless Chris McGuire (keys) and @mcguireness (percussion) helped me lean into it with this rendition of Blue, an original of mine and @dloweno_ ‘s that was originally a soul-pop single. You both transformed it into something that I never could have imagined.
Thank you to our hosts @artisinbakery , and to everyone who attended this instance of @sofarottawa Soul Sundays for your warm embrace. Thank you to the crew @fae.music@im_quest@kennyhayesmusic@1goldstripes@gothamsmayor for bringing this evening to life with your talent and grace.
Until next time 🤞💙

Folk night, stripped back and full of soul. 🌿
Settle into an intimate space where storytelling takes center stage. Raw vocals, acoustic sounds, and moments that make the room feel still.
Come lean in, listen close, and let the music carry you.
