Ottawa’s only Hip Hop Jam session is coming to Red Bird, and will be a strong addition to our monthly music series. Every month: Will be featuring a different Emcee that will host the show with our house Emcee Nick Pouponneau (of Zoo Legacy). Backed with a full live band Andrew and The Capital Syndicate, these showcases are bound to instil a deep love and connection to the incredible Hip Hop scene that we carry in the Capital city!

Live Band:
Nick Pouponneau (Emcee)
Andrew Knox (Trumpet/ Keys)
Matt Evans (Saxophone/ Keys)
James Arif (Sousaphone)
Ramel Bautista (Guitar)
Harrison Singer (Bass)
Sacha Nagy (Drums)

May Feature:
Hevve is an emerging artist blending atmospheric production with raw, introspective lyricism. Balancing darkness with ambition, his music captures the tension between who we are and who we’re trying to become. With a sound rooted in emotion and elevation, Hevve creates for those navigating their own inner battles in silence.

Important Notes:

Every Instrument will be provided by the house.
Access to stage is a first-come, first-serve process.
The amount of instruments and microphones present on the stage will determine how many can stay on the stage at one time.
We will have the “RED BIRD PICK” of the night. This pick will be chosen by staff at Red Bird and will encourage one participant of the night to close the show with another performance.
There will be opportunities to network and possibly be featured in future events as a featured emcee or instrumentalist.
