We’re gonna level with you – we don’t know how we’re going to do it this week.
There is always a lot of great stuff going on in the city (that’s why we do this), but this week, especially if you love live music, there’s a packed schedule awaiting you!
Now, of course, you don’t need to go to absolutely everything that looks interesting. The countdown to Easter weekend will be upon us shortly, though, and with it will come a pile of candy and ham that could slow you down for at least a few days.
So we recommend finding some comfortable shoes and heading into the week determined to fit in as much seeing and doing as possible!!
| 🎟️ Hot Tickets |
| Gianna Lauren and Kim Harris – (in keeping with their low-key vibes)Two of our favourite musicians will be on stage at Gus’ Pub this Thursday to captivate audiences and launch new music, and not nearly enough people are talking about it. March 26 @Gus’ Pub MORE INFO |
| CUSTOMER SERVICE LIVE AT THE A.N.A.F CLUB – One of the hottest bands in the city is going to be playing at the A.N.A.F CLUB on Thursday. While we don’t think there’s a HUGE crossover in the fanbase for the above show at Gus’, it certainly makes for a busy night in HRM music. March 26th @Scotiabank Centre MORE INFO |
| Fiddle Party – a concert in support of Merry Time Music Scholarship Fund – Some of the best pickers in the city are going to be on stage in Dartmouth this week, and the show is basically hiding in plain sight as a fundraiser. March 27th @Sanctuary Arts Centre MORE INFO |
| The Grand Tour – Classic Country Hits – The weekend is packed with excellent concert options, but there’s no question that this one is going to be a pretty safe bet. March 27th @The Rebecca Cohn MORE INFO |
| 🧤Date Night |

| 🥳 Treat Yourself |
| BEGONIA: THE FANTASY LIFE TOUR – This show promises to be a magical night of music and friendship led by a whimsical fairy. If that’s even half right, you’re going to have a great time. March 29th @The Seahorse MORE INFO |
No Other Choice – Viewer discretion is sometimes advised for Park Chan-wook films, but if you’ve enjoyed Oldboy, Decision to Leave, The Handmaiden or any of his other unforgettable films, then you know that missing a chance to see his latest film on the big screen is not an option. March 28th @Bus Stop Theatre MORE INFO |
Gianna Lauren and Kim Harris – We’re writing the rules as we go along, so we’re going to recommend this show for a 2nd time. This will be a really great room and night of music, whether you’re going with a friend or looking to make new ones. March 26th @Gus’ Pub MORE INFO |
