About Flora Falls
Born from a chance meeting at an open stage in Berlin, Flora Falls blends rich vocal harmonies, honest storytelling, and atmospheric folk-pop into unforgettable live performances. The duo has toured extensively throughout Europe and Australia, released two acclaimed EPs and their debut album Everyday Love, and earned millions of streams alongside international radio support. Equal parts heartfelt, humorous, and deeply human, Flora Falls invites audiences into an evening of songs that linger long after the final note.

About Mikhail Laxton
Mikhail Laxton is a singer-songwriter whose music tells honest, heartfelt stories about real people, real emotions, and the moments we often overlook. His songs are rooted in folk and soul, shaped by a commitment to truth and emotional connection. Every performance is an opportunity to share something real—moments that leave audiences feeling seen, heard, and part of something larger than themselves.

His shows are intimate, connective, and full of life, capturing laughter, reflection, nostalgia, and the small, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed.

Sept 9th Begins 7PM; End 9PM

⭐️ ART HANG is an art making and crafting musical event: live instrumental music will set the mood for a creative flow state.

Have you started a project you just can’t seem to put the time aside to finish? Is there a creative spark in your mind you need to release? Do you find it hard to make the time to be playful creatively and just MAKE something?

ART HANG might be the solution for you! This event is for creatives of all levels who might benefit from a communal space set with the intention to create. Come toil away at the knitting project you’ve been meaning to finish, get that watercolour painting started that you can see so clearly in your mind, or zone out while you doodle and colour to the chill vibes of live instrumental music.

🎶

This session of ART HANG will welcome the collaborative melding of Ottawa based musicians Sam Westcott and Chris Pond of

After a brief run in the WWE as World Tag-Team Champions, Sam () and Chris () decided to give up putting people through tables to focus on a more sensitive art form: improvised instrumental music. Albeit a lonelier venture, the by’s have kept at it over the years, appearing initially as Ataraxia: a duo scoring independent films and appearing live in the bold jazz, and new classical scene in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Now, they make up one half of the jazz/post-rock group Internet Celebrities; a dynamic quasi-collective currently at work on their biggest project yet. (Even bigger than defending the belts). These long-time collaborators play music that draws on all (or none) (or some) of these experiences; making sounds that become entangled with the moment & space they occupy.

Colouring pencils, colouring pages and paper will be provided.
