It seems as if the summer fun is done, and all there is to look forward to is making lunches and stress until the ‘extra fun” of the holidays, and then Marvest and CityFolk arrive.
So meet all the deadlines early, ignore the dishes and do your gym work out on the dance floor: this is the week to be free to enjoy the music.
CityFolk, Sept. 15 to 18
This now favourite festival is in its second year at Lansdowne, and this year has a lineup focussed on the ‘now’, over the ‘yesterday’ (though Van Morrison was a big draw last year), with international, Canadian and local musicians featured; starting with British superstar, indie folk-pop songwriter James Bay, to Canadian power pop rockers The New Pornographers, and local favourites such as Jim Bryson.
Other bands we recommend catching include local art-pop collective The Acorn (Sept. 15, 7:30 p.m.), who are facing the 10th anniversary of their sophomore album, the concept Glory Hope Mountain. The collective, consisting of mainstay Rolf Klausener, regular bass player Martin Charbonneau, Pascal Delaquis and Ottawa’s Claude Munson for this show, will be playing songs of that and their haunting, Polaris long-listed album, Vieux Loup. (Klausener also says there will be a new album and tour dates in 2017.)
Catch John Jacob Magistery (aka Johnny Griffin and his band) on Friday, who just released his first album, moving from the acoustically-grounded, big sounds to rockier arena-folk on Phantom i / Are You Too Sensitive? Then The Last Waltz is a multi-musician tribute to The Band’s iconic 1976 concert, followed by Canada’s iconic, lo-fi indie pioneer, Guided by Voices.
On Sunday: catch Montreal’s one-time La Voix competitor Charlotte Cardin, who has soared despite her reality show experience, producing soft-rock with sometime hip-hop beats, somehow appropriate despite her natural elegance and naîf quality to her voice. Other treats this day include Lake Street Dive, who look as if they will be performing art-synth, and instead knock you out with throwback, soul-pop originals (10:15 p.m.); and Aylmer’s own Chérie, who enchant with haunting, improv-folk.
It’s also good to note that several playing CityFolk are also at the Marvest (Fred Penner, for example), or the Festival of Small Halls (such as Basia Bulat, April Verch, Scottish band Breabach and Jim Bryson), but shows for the tiny venue festival are selling out quickly.
Bryson Tiller, Sept. 16
Trapmaster and purveyor of the R&B slow jam Bryson Tiller — who was just up for best new artist and best hip hop video against Drake in two categories at the VMAs, though not long ago he was working in a fast-food and writing songs part-time — has two shows in Ottawa this week: Find him at City Folk Sept. 16 headlining a show with Brooklyn, long-time rapper Joey Bada$$, and Illinois’ Kweku Collins (6 p.m.), but then Tiller is booked to play the Ppl. club afterwards. Maybe he’ll bring friends? Sept. 16, Ppl. Club. $60-$100. eventbrite.ca
Marvest, Sept. 16 & 17
There are 40, mostly-local bands playing in nooks and crannies (and pubs) across the Glebe at this (mostly) free festival; luckily, several are playing at different times and locations throughout the festival, so there is a chance — if homework is done — to catch almost all of them. Shows run all afternoon on the weekend; these are family-friendly. (For those wondering about the name, Marvest is a “harvest of local music.”)
Some to look for: indie soulful, alt-rock singer-songwriter Claude Munson and the John Punch Band; indie pop from Harea Band and then St. Stephen’s on the same night; rumble rock with Dear Blackwolf; violinist William Lamoureux; rappers Jesse Dangerously, Buck’N’Nice, Cody Coyote and City Fidelia, arty electro-pop from Pony Girl and X Ambassadors, neo-country from The Rifle & The Writer and folk from Rayland Baxter, and garage-punk from Telecomo. Sept. 16 and 17; Free, excepting Irene’s. cityfolkfestival.com/marvest
The Dread Crew of Oddwood, Sept. 15
Tharr be rascals on the decks of House of Targ, as California pirate-themed, folk-metal band The Dread Crew of Oddwood bring their Lawful Evil 2016 tour to us, to bring joy to the hearts of role-players everywhere. The band made their name at Renaissance fairs with their mix of metal guitars and attitude, folk strumming and Celtic instruments, but has since emerged into the club scene to delight crowds. Who does not appreciate those who fulfilled their childhood dreams of piratedom? Sept. 15, with Wiledrun, The Night Watch, 10 p.m., House of Targ. $13 in advance. www.houseoftarg.com
Finger Eleven, Sept. 16
It was impossible to have been breathing in the 90s and not have heard Paralyzer’s catchy bass hooks, prominent as it was in the metal-meets-pop vanguard. The Canadian indie band that created it, Juno Award-winning Finger Eleven, was on an acoustic tour this summer across the States with their latest release, Five Crooked Lines (2015), but it is not clear if they are continuing their shows unplugged into the autumn. Sept. 16, With Iconoclasts, The Bigmuffs, Lemon Cash, Mavericks, 7 p.m., $25. mavericksbar.com
Snowblink, Sept. 16
Toronto/L.A.’s calming art-pop duo Daniela Gesundheit and Dan Goldman, are in town with their new album, Returning Current, out this month. The songs combine electronic noise and band instruments with the soft-but-pointed voice of Gesundheit on this album, with “day” and “night” songs, suitable for waking up blissful, then energising a body, eventually to quiet a busy mind. The songs were created with direction from a ‘mood board’ created by Gesundheit, featuring words like “lots of space with bursts or ripples of sound”, “calypso disco,” “marvelling in a new person,” “santa fe,’ and “haven’t cried in a week,” to give you a sense.
There’s something Everything But The Girl and Beth Orton-esque about this album; lush sounds with Euro synth phrases reminiscent of the early 90s. Sept. 16, with Erla Axelsdóttir, 8 pm., Pressed. Tickets: $8.
SNFU, Sept. 16
This Edmonton hardcore punk band has been tearing up stages for decades, since forming in the early 80s, though their iconic albums have stayed current on underground music scene (and they released Never Trouble Trouble Until Trouble Troubles you in 2014, after a nine year gap). The band is fronted by the enigmatic and sometimes erratic mainstay Mr. Chi Pig (Kevin Chinn), who has been the constant through several lineup changes, break-ups and reformings. The band has a list of what kind of behaviour they will not tolerate (misogyny, homophobia) at their shows, for those who want to be sure not to be chucked out. With SNFU, GOAT, World War 4, 9:30 p.m., Dominion Taver. $15 in advance+. spectrasonic.com
Dress Black, Sept. 17
Our new favourite discovery is Toronto indie-pop four-piece Dress Black, playing rock guitars with synth overlay, funk, folk-pop vocals and that infectious beat. Think Spoon, Broken Bells and the energy of OK Go, with a dash of Depeche Mode, and wear your dancing shoes. They’ve got five songs out: a three-song EP and two new singles (“gone by the weekend” is right), and with this and their rousing live shows the band has just been nominated for the indie rock 2016 Toronto Independent Music Award. Sept. 17, Emmas Ringers, HookeD, Cody Labombard, 8:30 p.m., LIVE on Elgin. $8.
Groenland, Sept. 21
Snappy beats and tidy synths are the backdrop for Sabrina Halde’s raspy, powerful voice in the first release from Montreal’s synth-pop group Groenland‘s sophomore album, A Wider Space. Out on Sept. 16, this album is a reflection on touring life and its difficulties, but is an upbeat album, keeping the intelligent, orchestral arrangements for which the sextet has become known (you may remember their striking song, Chase, used in an iPad ad by Apple). Their cabaret-leanings sneak through in small themes in the background and their choice of instrument (sax, ukelele, wood), but are arranged in a way that is even more mature, complex and pleasing — while remaining very danceable. With Sounds of Stories, Beyries, 8:30 p.m., Zaphod’s. $18 in advance. spectrasonic.com / zaphods.ca
Makem and Spain, Sept. 17
The band of Rory Makem (son of late, legendary Irish singer Tommy Makem of the Clancy Brothers), Mickey and Liam Spain continues the Celtic theme, with a penchant for songs of the same vein from across the ‘colonies’: the drinking, love and traditional songs of old, including some of the modern creations and their own originals. They will also play some of Makem seniors songs at this show. Sept. 17, 7:30 p.m., Centrepointe Theatres. $67. centrepointetheatres.com

Sept. 17, Emmas Ringers, HookeD, Cody Labombard, 8:30 p.m., LIVE on Elgin. $8.
Groenland, Sept. 21
Snappy beats and tidy synths are the backdrop for Sabrina Halde’s raspy, powerful voice in the first release from Montreal’s synth-pop group Groenland‘s sophomore album, A Wider Space. Out on Sept. 16, this album is a reflection on touring life and its difficulties, but is an upbeat album, keeping the intelligent, orchestral arrangements for which the sextet has become known (you may remember their striking song, Chase, used in an iPad ad by Apple). Their cabaret-leanings sneak through in small themes in the background and their choice of instrument (sax, ukelele, wood), but are arranged in a way that is even more mature, complex and pleasing — while remaining very danceable. With Sounds of Stories, Beyries, 8:30 p.m., Zaphod’s. $18 in advance. spectrasonic.com / zaphods.ca
Makem and Spain, Sept. 17
The band of Rory Makem (son of late, legendary Irish singer Tommy Makem of the Clancy Brothers), Mickey and Liam Spain continues the Celtic theme, with a penchant for songs of the same vein from across the ‘colonies’: the drinking, love and traditional songs of old, including some of the modern creations and their own originals. They will also play some of Makem seniors songs at this show. Sept. 17, 7:30 p.m., Centrepointe Theatres. $67. centrepointetheatres.com
