Live & Local is a free, community-centered music series celebrating the artists who live and create right here at home, with select 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.

Fresh off a string of sold-out shows across Australia, Sarah Segal-Lazar hits Motel Chelsea with a show built to sweep you off your feet. A 2024 nominee for Folk Music Ontario’s Recording Artist of the Year, she’s quickly becoming an artist audiences don’t just discover—they follow.

This special performance kicks off a summer of coast-to-coast touring with two distinct sets: Songs of Land and Songs of Sea. Blending original material with carefully chosen covers, the night travels from grounded, earthy ballads to windswept, saltwater anthems—stories of home, longing, departure, and return. Expect marrow-melting vocals, captivating storytelling, and songs that you'll be humming all the way home.
