Keystone venue creates community cohesion serving up great music and food over 20 years after opening. It’s fitting that the Ironwood Stage and Grill is named after one of the strongest and most resilient trees in North America.
Beer and music have a long and storied relationship. Most of us have appreciated a tasty beer while watching a live show – one just simply goes well with the other.
Like a page out of a diary you’re not supposed to read. In the 1970s and ’80s, Vancouver-born Art Bergmann bashed out music with bands like Young Canadians, Los Popularos, and Poisoned that showed us how to be young, angry and pulsatingly alive.
The YYC Music Awards go down once again on Sept. 24 at Grey Eagle Event Centre, and I always love this event as it showcases some of Calgary’s finest talent, and even lets someone such as myself discover new acts.
