  • A guest 100% for Rod Stewart · Wed, 23 Aug 2023

    Wonderful evening! Rod was superb as usual and his brilliant dancers and musicians made the show. My only regret was that he didn’t sing anything from his Great American Songbook album. Also One More Time was only played on leaving the theatre!

    Amazing show! Perfect vibes for one of the hottest days of the summer. It's a shame everyone in Ottawa is so brainwashed with mainstream radio stations and their weren't more people out to enjoy such good talented musicians.

  • A guest 100% for Pink Martini · Mon, 29 Jun 2015

    I loved Pink Martini!!! One of the best concerts at Jazz Festival. Look forward to their next visit. I loved how each member of the band at their day in the spotlight and China' s humour was engaging.
