If you're a musician in Ottawa looking for bands or people to play with, The Ottawa Musician has some good classified ads. As for clubs, Mavericks and Cafe Dekcuf (which are run by the same people, and are upstairs/downstairs from each other) host a lot of shows that Ottawa jambands.ca people go to. Babylon is another good club (especially their regular Thursday night band The Souljazz Orchestra). Shows of interest (to me, as least) in the coming weeks in Ottawa include: The Souljazz Orchestra @ Le Petit Chicago in Hull (just over the river) on Saturday, November 4 Peter Elkas with Lindy and Paper Moon @ Zaphod Beeblebrox on Wednesday, Nov. 8 James McKenty And The Spades @ The Pour House (upstairs from The Aulde Dubliner) on Saturday, Nov. 11 Lure @ Zaphod Beeblebrox on Monday, Nov. 13 Mike Filipowitsch (of Burt Neilson Band) solo @ Cafe Dekcuf on Saturday, Nov. 18 Moses Mayes @ Mavericks on Friday, Nov. 24 Mr. Something Something @ The Rainbow, also on Friday, Nov. 24 The John Henrys @ Irene's Pub on Saturday, Nov. 25 Real Gone Daddies with Hungry Freaks (a Zappa tribute band) @ Mavericks on Friday, Dec. 8 David Lauzon @ Swizzles on Sunday, Dec. 17 (early show, probably a 5pm or 6pm start time) Burt Neilson Band @ Mavericks on Sunday, Dec. 31 nero @ Mavericks with David Lauzon @ Mavericks on Friday, Jan. 12, 2007 nero @ Mavericks with Elbeejay @ Mavericks on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2007 As well, this site is a good one for info on the jammy scene in Ottawa. (In fact, a lot of the bands I listed above aren't jambands, even though they share a lot of characteristics with them.) Aloha, Brad
