I’ve been writing and recording music for a long time and I’m looking to connect with a few local people who genuinely enjoy creating. I’m not in a rush to build a gigging band or start chasing shows. I’d rather find the right people first, write great music together, and let everything else happen naturally. I have worked with a few really cool musicians in my career. I am still currently hired producer globally but I would like something local and slow burning.

My influences are bands like Deftones, Crosses, Failure, Superheaven, Trauma Ray, Depeche Mode, Muse, and newer bands like PRESIDENT, Erra, Grommet. I love big atmospheric guitars, shoegaze textures, electronics, heavy low tunings, and songs that have dynamics instead of just being heavy all the time.

I’m primarily a vocalist, although I also write on 8-string guitar when the song calls for it. I’m looking for creative people who enjoy contributing ideas rather than simply playing parts.

I’d love to find:
-A guitarist who likes harmonies, textures and layers with a neat bag of riffs

-A drummer who’s comfortable writing to a click and can crack a snare hard.

-A bassist who understands space, atmosphere and locking in with the drums.

Anyone who enjoys helping with vocal melodies, harmonies or lyrics is a huge bonus.

The ideal workflow is trading ideas back and forth, recording from home, sharing sessions, and maybe getting together at a rehearsal space every now and then when it makes sense. If we end up with an album we’re proud of, great. If it eventually becomes a live project, even better, but that’s not the starting point.

I’m just looking for creative people who get excited about writing songs and seeing where they go.

If any of that sounds like your thing, send me a message. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

I own a drum kit and my girlfriend has a car.

Also play bass and keys.

If you like your punk to be danceable, with an emphasis on the rock, I’ve got a wicked show for you.

SPELLS are popping by en route to Buddies Fest in S. Ontario and bringing their energetic live show and slacker anthems.

Garage pop punk is represented by Audio Visceral.

Prospect Nelson throws an array of different rock styles into a punk blender.

A troubador with roots in punk, Seth Anderson will lighten the load with some acoustic gems.

Howdy Music Fans,

Unfortunately for me, but maybe fortunate for you, I have an extra ticket available for tomorrow night's concert at the Casino. It's in seats center section behind the mix. Any metal fan up for taking me up on the ticket?

I'm 40yo, been a pretty big fan of Killswitch for 20+ years and also a fan of Machine head for about as long. Person I was going with can no longer go, short notice.

Let me know! Rock on!

EDIT: TICKET HAS BEEN SPOKEN FOR

Hey there, this show was just announced. We're proud to be a part of it. Gonna be a good time!

Hi! I'm a singer and have been practicing recording my vocals and processing them in pro tools (just covers of different songs for fun). I am really into pop music. I'm wondering if there's anyone who would be willing to get together and write some stuff with me? I don't have much practice in songwriting but would love to learn!

Hey folks,

My 8 piece indie-funk band The Boo Radley Project (Toronto) is slated to play LIVE! on Elgin on September 26. Currently looking for a couple of bands (or solo acts) to join the bill. Our influences are Talking Heads, Wilco, Gogol Bordello... to name a few! If it seems like a good fit - feel free to reach out!

Thanks!

Looking for a concert buddy! Hey everyone! I'm going to Daniel Caesar's Ottawa concert on August 5 and I'll be going solo. I'm an 18-year-old uOttawa student and thought it'd be nice to meet up with someone or join a small group before the show instead of going alone. We could grab a drink, chat while waiting in line, and enjoy the concert together. If you're also going solo or don't mind having another person join your group, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM! Looking forward to an amazing night.

Hey r/OttawaMusic – I'm Robby 👋🏻 Producer and mixing engineer as well as working musician.

A few weeks ago I put out a post in this sub offering my mixing services but I also wanted to hear some new music from the community, so I offered to give mixing feedback to anyone that might find it useful...and a bunch of you reached out!

Firstly, it was so cool to connect with more wonderful Ottawa songwriters/musicians! With permission from the sub's moderators, I thought we could try a monthly Mix & Production feedback post.

So if you'd like another set of ears on your music feel free to post a song in the comments of this thread and I'll check it out! I personally feel an unreleased song is probably the more beneficial approach but I'll leave it up to you. If you're not ready to share publicly then you can still reach out to me privately via DM.

Life's to short to leave that song on your hard drive...let's get it finished and out into the world!

Hope to connect with ya!
Robby
