Tomorrow’s Elliot Brood show at Vinyl will turn all of you banjo-hatin’ rockers into knee-slappin’ hoe-downers.

When it comes to music, Guelph is pretty spoiled. There are so many great local bands, and wicked live shows that it’s easy to take it all for granted. If you miss one this week, there’s another great show next week. That’s why some shows, like the Ian Blurton+Huron=Happy Endings, Evan Gordan & Sad Clowns [...]

A while ago, Bruce Peninsula played at the Albion Hotel. The band noticed that the room was a WHOLE lot more full than the last time they had played in that joint. Blame last year’s Hillside festival. Bruce Peninsula played a set on the island stage that blew everybody away so, when the band came [...]
I don’t know what + etc. you could ask for here. This is my favourite spot in Guelph to stop for a drink. They have great lunch and dinner menus too, but on Friday at 5, I am all about a bevvy. It’s beautiful inside and often exhibits local art or photography, and I often [...]
