Ottawa Showbox

Hello friends, It’s been a while since we’ve reached out to check in with you. Eric and I wanted to communicate some changes that will be taking place and be upfront about what that will mean for Ottawa Showbox going forward.

Headed home at 3:30 from my shift at @CHEO ER and haven’t been able to get home since - my apartment is completely inaccessible from any direction. Glad to see this is what freedom looks like!

People on social media insisting that the convoy is “peaceful,” “lawful,” and “non-violent” doesn’t change the fact that I live in downtown Ottawa and am afraid to leave my home.

We hope you understand and accept our need to take this break. We will reach out again in August to update you on our situation moving forward. Love, Matias & Eric

It has always been a labour of love, and our priorities have changed a lot since 2012. That doesn’t mean we don’t love and support the music community just as much.
