The @newhiress + @yellowmagnoliaband + The @varitonesrock

The New Hires are an indie rock band from Ottawa, ON. Known for their catchy hooks and energetic live performances, they have recently released their latest EP ‘Talking to the Walls’. Produced by Thomas D’Arcy (NOBRO, The Sheepdogs, July Talk), the latest EP explores the social anxieties and personal challenges of early adulthood self-discovery.

Their creative blend of 2000’s rock nostalgia and modern indie sounds continue to pack some of Ontario’s most notable venues. Supporting artists such as JUNO award-winning artists JJ Wilde and Dear Rouge, Hotel Mira and DURRY, the dapper 5-piece have been showcasing their back-to-basics approach delivering anthemic ballads and high-energy rock songs you can’t help but sing along to.

Yellow Magnolia is electric, gritty, and unapologetic rock. Powered by the brotherly synergy of Evin and Owen Jennings, “Bruv Luv” if you will, and anchored by Aidan Coones on guitar and Landon Cruz on Bass. Their blend of 60s pop, 70s soul, and 00s garage rock creates something entirely their own. They craft songs that hit hard and linger long, capturing the thrill of young love and the grind of self-discovery. Experience Yellow Magnolia live – it’s not just what you’re hearing, it’s what you’re feeling.

The Varitones are an Ottawa-based Rock and Roll band known for their electrifying live performances. Featured prominently are their gritty riffs, powerful vocals, bombastic drums, tight bass grooves and dynamic keyboards through a diverse catalog of exciting songs.

Kasador + Lazzy Lung + Dumb Crush

The world is hurting, and standing by has never been our style. Kasador are putting together a benefit concert in support of Doctors Without Borders — because when chaos rises, compassion has to rise louder.

Come out, show up, make some noise, and help turn music into medicine, aid, and hope for people who need it most.

Every ticket, every share, every voice in the room matters.
