Finely Tuned Elephant:
Finely Tuned Elephant (est. 2019) is an instrumental jazz-rock fusion quartet that has become an electrifying force in the Canadian music scene. The ensemble delivers a sound that is at once technically staggering and undeniably catchy, matched by a reputation for explosive live shows.
Their journey through two acclaimed albums, Perfect Coincidence (2020) and The Fast Life (2022), was defined by years of live performances, a crucible in which the band's chemistry was solidified and the material for their next chapter was forged and tested in front of live audiences. Now, after a series of sold-out shows featuring full album performances of fusion legends Casiopea, and original performances alongside high profile touring artists, the band is poised to release their magnum opus in March 2026: No Goats.
Almyr Jules:
Almyr Jules is a rising voice in Canada’s Ballad Soul and R&B scene, hailing from Ottawa, Ontario. His music is a lush fusion of smooth, heartfelt ballads and timeless R&B groove delivering velvety vocals, soul-baring lyrics, and melodies that wrap around listeners like a warm embrace.
Drawing inspiration from soul icons like Leon Bridges and Allen Stone, and the pop-soul sensibility of artists like Bruno Mars, Almyr crafts songs that are deeply emotional yet universally relatable. Each performance is honest, intimate, and captivating anchored in the power of storytelling and a vocal presence that commands attention.
With growing momentum and a clear artistic vision, Almyr has already graced stages like Canadian Music Week and City Sounds Festival, and is gearing up for an even bigger 2026. His music connects across cultures and generations, making him a standout choice for festivals and venues seeking soul stirring artistry that leaves a lasting impression.
The Friendly Frogs Freak Show:
Amphibian progressive funk energetically charged and ready to fire you up into a vortex of infinite sounds and colours backed by an eclectic rhythm section offering dancy shivers and auspicious ambiances to make you bring out your inner frog.
Me and Jason were absolutely amazed by how many of you showed up last year and we've decided to take things to the next level this year.
8 dates, 24 local bands to discover.
Your greatest contribution is to be on this journey with us one way or another and we can't thank you enough already. If you can afford to, any amount helps our ecosystem greatly. All your donations go to the bands performing that evening.
Bring your chair, bring you family, there is food sold at the Bistro!
