Hosted by musician Ray Flood, our Open Mic format style session is open to all levels, genres, music, instruments, poetry, spoken word storytellers and comedy. We hope you will join us for a well-deserved bit of mid-week fun. Contact Ray directly to sign up at (613) 827 5797 or simply show up, and we’ll do our best to get you a spot! Please note the physical space is small and is best suited for acoustic performances of a solo or at most a duo.

The Music Machine – DJ Christopher – Born and raised in Toronto, DJ Christopher developed a lifelong love of music through late-night radio and the iconic CFNY 102.1, The Spirit of Radio. His early years were spent immersed in the Queen Street West club scene, shaping a deep and eclectic musical taste. Expect anything from emerging UK indie tracks to vintage gems by Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, or The Stone Roses, with the occasional surprise from Massive Attack or New Order. No two sets are ever the same. Great songs bring people together—and they pair perfectly with great beer. Join us as we launch and explore The Music Machine.

All the music, none of the pressure! We have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing musically inclined people who love to play but are looking for something more casual and cooperative than our open mic format. So join us for our unplugged jam session. Whether it’s a guitar, mandolin, cajon, ukulele, or other acoustic instrument, players of all skill levels are welcome, or just come to listen and sing along! So how’s a jam different? – A “jam” is any music played without preparation beforehand. This might mean that the music is undefined, or simply that the running order and the musicians are.

Steve Stacey is a throwback to the days of storytelling in song, contemplating life with humour, unique observations and truth that is too obscure to be a lie. Armed with songs about cars, lost love, drinking, and the occasional murder ballad, no topic is off limits. Steve will keep you on your toes, trying to figure out what he will say next. Working on a new album of original songs, Steve has 2 cd’s of original material “Sounded Good at the Time” and “Tall Tales Fibs and Outright lies” which was described in Exclaim magazine -Steve Stacey and company have carjacked Buck Owens, rear-ended John Prine and made off with (at least) a vat of homemade whiskey to create this set of infectious masterpieces..

Sandwich Spirits is Belleville’s own instrumental jam trio, serving up groove-heavy, free-flowing sets led by Nathan Mahaffy (drums), Alexandra Bell (keys), and Ian McKendry (guitar). You might recognize them from Grievous Angles or Bad Tractor—or from hanging out here at the brewery. Nathan and Alex also co-host the Night Kitchen Too, and Ian holds the honour of being the first artist featured on our taproom gallery wall.
