Loch Nisse Monster is dawning on the Ottawa music scene with the folky vibe of the mystical Scottish monster, telling stories and painting joyous and painful emotions in her songwriting. Along with musical inspiration from the genres of rock, pop, and punk, the "monster" in Loch Nisse Monster doesn't hesitate to get at ironic and unjust truths in the world, yet with the bright hope of tales.
Loch Nisse Monster’s song Fog in the Window was the recipient of an honourable mention from the Carleton Poetry & Songwriting Competition in 2023. This song was released on April 5, 2024, with more to come.
The singer/songwriter had both her debut and first headlining shows in April of 2024, but has been playing venues around the province for the past two years. Notable features include CBC on Sparks Street, Live! On Elgin, Ottawa Bagelshop, Art in Fashion at the Hudson, New Edinburgh Streetfest, the Carleton Music Showcase, private and fundraising events, and more. Loch Nisse Monster is just getting started, and will be playing local shows throughout the summer and on the famed Nate Silva’s album tour in Ottawa on August 8.
