Paul Wainwright
"The Aegir Room February 1, 26 FB post:
Had a wonderful evening seeing Paul Wainwright perform at The Oswego Hotel’s Aegir Room in James Bay. From the moment he started playing, it was clear we were in for something special. A terrific performance in an intimate setting, paired with delicious food, cold beverages, and genuinely excellent service — it all added up to a delightful night of music, friends, and great vibes.
If you haven’t seen Paul Wainwright perform (and honestly, where have you been? He’s been a mainstay of the local music scene for years), I highly recommend you make it a point to catch him live.
Good news: Paul will be back at the Aegir Room (the coolest lounge in Victoria) at The Oswego Hotel on Sunday, February 8th and Sunday, February 15th, from 6:00–8:00 pm.
Reservations are recommended.
Support live music and treat yourself to a fantastic evening — you won’t be disappointed."

Organista e pianista Bellinzona
"We chose this organist and pianist service for our wedding ceremony in Bellinzona, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the very first contact, the level of professionalism and attention to detail was evident. Every question we had was answered with care, and we were guided through the selection of music in a way that made the whole process smooth and enjoyable.
The organ performance during the ceremony was simply outstanding. Each piece was executed with precision and emotion, creating a deeply moving atmosphere that touched not only us but all of our guests. Many people came up to us afterward to compliment the music, saying it added a magical and unforgettable dimension to the ceremony.
For the reception, we opted for the piano service, and it was equally impressive. The music was elegant and perfectly balanced, enhancing the ambiance without ever overpowering conversations. The repertoire was varied and tasteful, adapting beautifully to the mood of the evening.
Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend this service to anyone looking for high-quality live music in Bellinzona and throughout Canton Ticino."

"RadFlute was wonderful and we made great memories because of her. I love the idea of having live music in an intimate settings, so l hired RadFlute to perform at a small gathering for my mom's birthday. She was quick and responsive in communications. I also loved that she had the flexibility to learn new pieces that are not in her original list. Our event was mixed ages and she even took requests for us from Harry Potter all the way to Frank Sinatra! This made the event extra special."

Dar.Ra
"Hype Magazine USA
Cure For Jealousy
A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.”
The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole.
Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well.
Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas.
Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning.
Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating.
It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment.
The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance.
The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic.
Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil.
He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion.
“Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour."

"Finneas was great - he performed several songs at our wedding ceremony including The Cure’s Just Like Heaven. I was so excited to hear my favorite song start playing for me to walk down the aisle. He was professional, communicative and easy to work with. Thanks for adding something special to our wedding day!"
