National Arts Centre

It was a great concert. Bruce Cockburn still tells amazing stories with his songs, old and new! His guitar playing is electric (even if his guitars are not) and is voice is as rich and strong as ever. A+++ on the value scale!,

Taj Mahal and his band are legendary. The opener Sona Jobarteh and her band were inspiring as well!! It was their last night on the tour, so it felt extra special.

The night was fantastic! Never long enough! The venue was a bit hot and arid guy but a nice size for a show like this although I’m sure they could’ve gotten a bigger crowd out! Would go see them again anyday!

Amanda never disappoints, this was my 4th time seeing her! It's been 20 years and I think she is even better! One of the most talented performers ever. So enjoyed the show and seeing her at the NAC showcases her talent that much more than an arena setting. Welcome back Amanda! :-)

Welcome back Amanda, you have been missed. Amazing singer, amazing concert. The venue was perfect and had very comfortable seats.

Melissa and Luke were in fine form and their set list included a great blend of old and new songs. Their drummer was also very expertly backing them up. The mix of songs with just the two of them, with the drummer and with guests on stage was also excellent. They are really the greatest act around.

These guys are super fantastic. We waited three years to see them as their scheduled concert at the NAC was cancelled due to Covid. We were excited to see them and they did not disappoint!!!!!

One of the best duos you can ever catch live. They are both incredibly talented and I love all of their albums, but it's their charisma, energy and obvious adoration for each other that truly makes the live show something special to be a part of.

I hope that this talented duo eventually returns to the NAC as a headliner because the only issue with their set was that it felt way too short! 😭 A powerful, haunting and uplifting wall of sound from start to finish. 🎸

Love the band and the music but the sound levels were off and you couldn't really hear the vocals. As the show progressed they got Leah's sorted out but Peter was still washed out. I know it's a challenge because of his voice but hey, I've been to other concerts with similar singers and they worked it out so..... bass drum was insanely loud and responsible for a lot of the muddiness. Energy was good as always for these guys and they'll always have a spot in my playlist but no, for the Ottawa show the sound wasn't great.

The band's performance was amazing! Only issue was the vocals were mixed too softly in the mix, so when either Peter or Leah (especially Leah) were singing more softly, they were barely audible. Too bad too, because some of those songs really needed that subtlety.

Absolutely the best comedy show I’ve attended. I was crying at his antics and my abs hurt by the time I left the show. Highly recommend.

An amazing show - opening act Joe Botts set the rhythm, and Vance came through with a very generous 1.5h of both older and newer songs that had normally staid Ottawa NAC audience dancing (politely) in the aisles. Great concert!

Like sunshine on a cloudy day, Alex Cuba bring beautiful music and playful performance to all of us at the Babs Asper Theatre last night. His concerts are always such a gift!

first half Xmas carrols were good. second half old songs , selection was good for older people, but not for people under 50 y.o. Choir was there, but because they were located behind the instruments their voices where not able to be heard

Wonderful concert. The Band really enjoyed themselves and were relaxed and happy. First time I have seen them but have many many BARK cd's and by Stephen Fearing and Tom Wilson too. It was great seeing Colin Linden and special guests Colin James and Ms. Lightfoot and Ryder. As a grandmother I was happy to see Levon perform on the encore. Good job Levon!

Very intimate venue and concert. It was my first time seeing Raine and Chantal together. It was a very meaningful experience. Loved the atmosphere and it was very special that Rowan Maida opened for them on the beginning of his musical journey. Looking forward to hearing more of his music in the future. Memories I will always cherish. Thank you all for a wonderful evening.

The show was absolutely amazing !!! It sounded as if the cd’s were being played. Even though the cellist couldn’t be there (I hope she gets better soon), the music was perfect. I couldn’t tell that anything was missing. Loreena was charming and humourous & literally looked like an Angel. Her hair was glowing in the stage lights!!! I loved every minute of that show. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR VOICE. You’re all very special & make a whole lot of people happy. Thank you for what you create & give to the world. It’s such a gift!!! Well done.

Amazing show!!! We have seen Mother Mother in concert several times and by far our best experience!!! Thank you so much for the positive energy, humbleness of the band and being back on tour!

Great show Last time I saw her I found was a Bit better, as she played more of Her songs, but still phenomenal voice
