At the Nov. 4 launch party, I opened my farmer's market stand inside the pub. I also played (& sang) a set of my originals + top-40 covers, & the one & only Paul Weber played an incredible set of his original songs about... Ottawa History!
I'll be back at Irene's Pub on Sat. Nov. 30, 12-3pm, to answer any questions. The amazing C.A. & Sonny will be playing their weekly show at the bar 1-3pm that day.
