You Might Be Sleeping:
You Might Be Sleeping are a band based in Guelph, Ontario whose music is the epitome of art that is both stirring and honest. The musicians seemingly never rest as they continuously explore and create, touching all aspects of their genre. From folk rock to heavy-hitting distorted jams, there is no shortage of creativity to be found from the young writers. Their shows are well-crafted and lively, using a mix of emotional ballads and stark build-ups to take the listener on a journey.
Having met in elementary school, the band consisting of singer/guitarist Nico Valeriote, bassist Toby Rossi, and drummer Attila Fay began playing and writing music after hours in their high school, running off pure passion for writing and playing music.

RAVK:
RAVK are a grungy/punky band from gatineau who formed back in 2021. They started taking the public by storm last year
They have an upcoming album coming this summer.
Dominick Seguin - Singer & guitarist
Raphael Marcoux - Bassist
Gabriel Couture - Drummer

Runner Up:
Runner-Up is a 3 piece Alternative Rock Band based in Gatineau-Ottawa. A fairly Raw mix of Old and New styles of Alternative rock, writing about the day to day life events, whether its a good day or a struggle in time. We also strongly dislike losing but we suppose 2nd place is better than last, if we even get 2nd...


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!
