There was an article http://www.ottawamagazine.com/restaurants/city-bites/2013/03/14/opening-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-the-whalesbones-new-elmdale-oyster-house-tavernbut-were-afraid-to-ask/ the other day about it which didn't mention music at all. It looks like their website has been updated, but it's still minimal. Aloha, Brad

I had a great time at the show. The music was great (from Burnt Reynolds doing "Life On Mars", to the heavy-ness of Tindervox, to Tony D's amazing blues, to the Berekete Afrobeat Band, whom I'm really looking forward to seeing again), the Rainbow was fuller than I can remember seeing it, and the feeling of support for IFA was inspiring. What an amazing way to spend a sunny afternoon! Aloha, Brad
