Something Else! FestivalThe eighth iteration of our annual Something Else! Festival will resemble last year's festival - in pieces, outdoors, again, but spread over an even wider timeline. Depending on the status of public health concerns, we plan on presenting once per week to once every other week, one to six acts, over one to three events per day. Our festival and music series will be spread across a handful to a dozen or so Saturdays at the luscious Bayfront Park, while our Composite Arts Series, “Watch it Burn!” will be slotted one Thursday per month at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. Hopefully, starting no later than late July, the following Southern Ontario and Canadian artists should grace our stages: Eve Egoyan (plays Erik Satie), Silvervest, Eyevin Trio, Togetherness!, Lina Allemano 4, Brass Knuckle Sandwich, Chimera, So Long 7, See Through 4, plus many more.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
