Blue Jay Sessions: HamOnt 2026

We're looking forward to bringing our award-winning songwriters' event series to Hamilton, Ontario on March 26 and March 27 to help celebrate all things Canadian music!

Joins nightly hosts ZENON (Thursday) and Jessie T (Friday) and a long list of talented, independent Canadian singer-songwriters from across Canada at the Blue Grotto Lounge, located on the upper level of Capri Ristorante in the heart of Hamilton. If you haven't experienced this longstanding event space, trust us you've NEVER seen a room like it! And the acoustics? Well, we'd say they're *chef's kiss* too. (Just like the pizza Capri serves up :) )

 We'll be cheers-ing to all the great tunes with our beer partner Sea Change Brewing Co. each night too, so a huge thank you to them for helping us make this Ontario pop-up possible!
