The Blue Stones at The Park Theatre in Winnipeg
The Blue Stones brought their North America Metro tour to Winnipeg on May 29, with support from The Darcys. The Ontario-based duo of Tarek Jafar and Justin Tessie left The Park Theatre with a distinct taste of indie-rock and a night to remember. With their first show being sold out, they had added a second Winnipeg show the day before.
Before the show started, the duo brought one VIP ticket holder cake as special gesture. That commitment and closeness sums up why The Blue Stones is going places.
First, The Darcys took the stage opening with “Dreaming.” The Toronto/ LA duo did a phenomenal performance. Vocalist Jason Couse kept the crowd locked in, entertaining the crowd and making them laugh. The fans responded by changing his name “Couse” to “Booooos” as a joke! Still, songs like “1986,” and “Talking” took the spotlight.
Then it was time for the main event, The Blue Stones. Before they hit the stage, they played “Metro 47” and as soon as it ended they played “Your Master.” The smooth transition was seamless, very similar to listening to the album. Some of the songs from Metro instantly hit it off to the crowd such as “Come Apart,” “Happy Cry.” Obviously, the set leaned hard on newer tracks, but for the encore they performed some of their OG songs like “Black Holes,” “Let it Ride,” and “Don’t Miss.”
Before the show, they brought one VIP ticket holder cake as special gesture. That commitment and closeness sums up why this duo is going places.
The Metro album now stands as one of their greatest releases. The sold-out show is proof of how hard they’ve worked to connect with fans. Catch them live if you want to experience a Canadian indie-rock duo.

Avenoir Brings ‘Mirage Tour’ to the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver
Rising Canadian R&B artist Avenoir brought his Mirage Tour – Act One to Vancouver on March 12, playing an intimate show at the Hollywood Theatre. The evening opened with a set from Alberta-born singer-songwriter Jonah David, who warmed up the crowd with his 2-piece band before the headliner took the stage. David‘s performance was clearly a hit as fans asked for autograph as soon as his set ended.
Born in South Africa and raised in Edmonton, Avenoir has built serious momentum over the past year. His debut EP NOIRE earned a 2025 Juno nomination, and his music has racked up hundreds of millions of streams. The Vancouver stop was part of a short run of theatre shows meant to give fans a closer look at the fast-rising artist before a bigger year ahead.
The performance leaned into atmosphere. Avenoir kept movement minimal, often standing alone at center stage as his songs unfolded over sleek production, including great saxophone moments. His acoustics songs helped strengthen his connection with the audience. The production blended futuristic R&B with booming 808s and dramatic arrangements that gave several tracks a cinematic punch. His voice has a smoky tone that cuts through the heavy beats.
The show felt like a young artist still settling into the stage. The music is already there, and the confidence will likely follow.

JUNNY Brings ‘null’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Korean-Canadian R&B artist JUNNY brought warmth to a cold Vancouver night on March 4, turning the Vogue Theatre into a packed, swaying sea of JUNNIVERSE for his null Tour. Promoted by MRG Live, the show supported his second full-length album, null, and marked the second-to-last stop on his North American run before wrapping in Calgary.
DAUL opened the show with a tight, high-energy set that worked well with the crowd. Once the room was warmed up, JUNNY stepped out under the screams of the fans. Bathed in pulsing lights, he moved with easy confidence, pairing smooth vocals with subtle body rolls that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
He thanked fans several times for coming to his show, and leaned into his charm, shouting out the “sexy ladies and sexy fellas” in the crowd.
On a cold March night in Vancouver, JUNNY delivered heart and heat, exactly what his fans came for. Check out our favourite photos of the night below!
