About the Town Cryers

Once a staple in the city’s live music scene, The Town Cryers reached the number one spot on seven radio stations in Canada with their first release in 1987 called "All's Well.” Together, Jeff Tanguay, John Allaire, Rick Dixon and Kevin Smith toured across the country while at the same time releasing their 1989 CD, “Surprise Surprise”. The song included a supporting video which became the Top Independent Video in the country that year. Before parting ways in 1992, the band released their famous 18-track CD “Stanley’s Cup”. Don’t miss a special performance from these four veteran rockers as they bring their frontal guitar assaults and witty stage banter to Overflow Brewery on February 13th.

About The Tackies

Wherever The Tackies go, the party is sure to follow! They have been described as an Indie rock band with hints of alternative and punk. The four member band has performed alongside The Lazys, Pack A.D and Lights, and has entertained at several popular Ottawa venues including The Rainbow, LIVE! on Elgin, and The 27 Club. In just three short years, the band has completed their first tour, released a second EP and won Ottawa Life Magazine’s CoverMe! Contest. The Tackies have been experimenting with fun new sounds and are prepared to be propelled faster and farther.

The five-member rock and roll collaboration has united, bringing together ex-members of Ottawa bands like The Setbacks, Boywonder, Crown Vic, and California Harvey. covers a wide range of everyday themes through their sound such as relationships, love, loss, determination and truth– emotions we can all relate to.

About Amanda Bon

Music has always been a love of mine. She began writing songs in the mid-2000's and when she felt she had enough material she put a recording together. With elements of country, folk and bluegrass, her music will have any audience mesmorized. She's released two full length albums with some of the city's finest players including Juniper Weekends (2011) and Down the Road (2013). Bon believes that music has an incredible power to move and to heal those who come close it. Amanda Bon is going to bring a clean, refreshing performance to the Musiclude stage!
