After 8 incredible years, we are winding down Side Door.

Thank you for your belief in us. You understood what we envisioned. We absolutely could not have done this without your support.🫶

Read the full announcement on our blog.

We love that lingering feeling of singing together each month ❤️ here’s a short clip of our October event singing LINGER by @thecranberries - can’t wait to do it again next week singing the one and only Stick Season by @noahkahanmusic *tickets are sold out*

What’s The Big Sing? It’s the Maritime’s greatest group singing lesson! Just picture a Nova Scotia kitchen party, with 250 friends, at a bar, learning one of the best pop tunes of our time, in three-part harmony. We’re not joking. It’s awesome.

All fall long, catch us the second Tuesday of the month at The Basement of the Shoe on Argyle Street. Our pro tip? Drop by early for a drink and a bite from our friends upstairs at The Economy Shoe Shop. Rachael recommends the tacos *chef’s kiss*

No musical skills required. You show up, lyrics in one hand and a drink in the other, and we do the rest. We’ll start by learning the melody, and we’ll work towards a final video performance by the end of the night. It’ll get hot, singing is a full body sport! Co-led by Rachael Delano, Caitlin Bowers, and Jack Bennet. Noah Kahan won’t be there with us but damn we would love it if he heard the word!!

The Big Sing is privileged to make music in Mi’ma’ki, the unceded and ancestral land of the Mi’kmaq. The Basement is only accessible by staircase.

(The full video of LINGER can now be found on our YouTube channel, link in bio!)

✨ What a night!

Huge thanks to Graeme, Diana, and Rebekah Higgs for hosting their very first house concert last weekend - and absolutely knocking it out of the park! It was a sold-out show filled with lovely people, great food, and magical vibes.

We even had a surprise collaboration with the newly formed supergroup Dr. H & Baby G (aka Holly Roddam, Graeme, Diana, and Rebekah Higgs) - what a treat! ❤️

Tickets were sold through SideDoor . I loved being able to email attendees ahead of time and keep track of everything myself. @sidedoor.access works to bridge the gap between artists, hosts and audiences… and it’s divine!

Since my start in Texas back in 2000, House concerts like this have helped me grow my fanbase across Canada and overseas, and they remain one of my favourite ways to share music, stories, food, laughter and tears. It’s so easy - all you need is a space, some friends, and a love for live music and connection.

If you’ve ever thought about hosting one, please talk to me! 💫

@nowadays_fest kicks off tomorrow in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with a dreamy show presented by NDR, featuring performances from beloved label artists @theweatherstation and @charcorn along with @jennahbarry ⭐️ tomorrow’s show is sold out, but there are still tickets available for a handful of shows throughout the weekend. Evan and Maisie from the NDR/Outside Music team have played a part in putting on this year’s festival, and it’s all coming together this weekend - check out the full schedule at the link on our story ⛴️

Viva la Vida all day every day 🩵🩵🩵 wow, our September event was a blast. Thanks for singing your hearts out with us, can’t wait to do it all again in just under two weeks (why does this month feel sooooo long?!)
