Live & Local is a free, community-centered music series celebrating the artists who live and create right here at home, with select Thursday evenings hosted by a different local musician bringing their own sound, collaborators, and creative vision to the stage. Each night features a full set from the host followed by an open, collaborative jam—no two nights the same, always free, always local, always live.

This is a pass-the-hat event—please help support and show your appreciation for the featured artist by contributing what you can.

Phil has been an active part of the Gatineau Hills music scene for years, performing with local bands Riverbend and Striving for Beauty, and bringing his popular Beatles tribute and protest song shows to Motel Chelsea on multiple occasions.

This special Live & Local performance features two engaging sets: the first half showcases Phil’s original music, followed by an interactive singalong where the audience helps choose the next song—complete with song sheets so everyone can join in.
