Can we offer you some new music while you wait?

[guest]

Starting today, when you call the City, we’re featuring 35 local musicians as part of our Music on Hold program. This year, the City has added an additional 10 songs for Music on Hold, which is part of the #ottmusic initiative that brings together City-led programs, opportunities and information for musicians and residents. These are the songs you will hear while on hold.

Close to 170 musicians of all genres submitted songs for consideration. A committee of Ottawa musicians and industry professionals reviewed the submissions and selected 35 songs for the City’s phone system. Traditionally, we have had 25 songs in the rotation for Music on Hold, but the City wanted to expand the program knowing how difficult the last year has been for our local musicians.
