So excited to hear that live music is back in Sparks this summer with OMIC City Sounds—there’s something really electric about hearing tunes under the open sky. I remember the first time I brought my violin to a street jam session in Sparks; I actually had to ring Amundson Violin customer service beforehand to tweak my setup, and they were great help! During that session, I swapped a few bars with a local guitarist and we ended up improvising a mini concert right there. If you're heading out for these summer shows, bring snacks, comfy seating, and an open heart—you’ll love the vibe!
I had the chance to visit Sparks Street during City Sounds, the atmosphere was vibrant and the music was great – especially the “Songwriters Circle” section, it was so chill! While waiting for the stage to change, I took out my phone to play Drift Boss, both entertaining and keeping the music in the mood.
What an exciting event! It’s fantastic to see Ottawa bringing back free live music, especially with such a stellar lineup. I can't wait to hear Rappers in the Round and the Songwriters Circle—should be memorable! Also, if anyone is looking for a fun way to unwind after enjoying the festivities, I highly recommend checking out Funny Shooter 2 for a good laugh.
I love how wacky flip keeps things interesting with 8 totally different levels. Each one has its own theme and obstacles, making the game fun and unpredictable.
