Danny Michel
Saturday, November 14, 2026Doors open at 7:30 PMTickets: $50 + fees
Danny Michel is one of Canada’s most distinctive and adventurous singer-songwriters - a captivating performer whose music moves effortlessly between rock, pop, folk, world music and beyond.
For decades, Danny’s restless creativity, thoughtful lyrics and unmistakable guitar work have earned him a devoted following, multiple JUNO and Polaris Prize nominations, CBC’s Heart of Gold Award, and Canadian Folk Music Awards for Producer of the Year and the Oliver Schroder Pushing the Boundaries Award.
His remarkable musical journeys have taken him from recording and touring with Belize’s Garifuna Collective to creating an album aboard a Soviet-era icebreaker in the Arctic alongside astronaut Chris Hadfield. Albums such as Matadora and Khlebnikov explore human connection, environmental responsibility and our place in the cosmos, while his latest release, Ghost Town, offers some of his most personal and vulnerable songwriting to date.
Beyond the stage, Danny founded the DM Ocean Academy Fund in support of a nonprofit high school in Belize. His commitment to music, community and the environment has led to memorable appearances celebrating Jane Goodall and David Suzuki, as well as tours with Stuart McLean’s beloved Vinyl Cafe.
Warm, witty and endlessly engaging, Danny Michel turns every performance into something more than a concert. His songs, stories and spontaneous onstage conversations create an intimate experience filled with humour, humanity and extraordinary musicianship.
“One of the most engaging storytellers you’ll ever see live - both in his songs and his onstage conversation.”— Howard Druckman, SOCAN Words & Music
“When you need to restore your faith in humanity, just go to a Danny Michel show.”— Sticky Magazine
“Just fabulous. He’s kind of like Paul Simon in the Rhymin’ Simon days.”— Stuart McLean
“Poetic gold.”— The Hamilton Spectator

Julian Taylor | Live in Concert
Some artists have a hit. Others build a career. Julian Taylor has done both - and then reinvented himself into one of Canada's most celebrated and compelling singer-songwriters.
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Toronto-based artist Julian Taylor as he brings his award-winning blend of soul, folk, roots, and storytelling to an intimate stage where every lyric, every note, and every moment can be truly experienced.
Julian first rose to prominence with the hit-making band Staggered Crossing. Rather than resting on early success, he returned to the clubs, cover bands, and open stages, refining his craft song by song. That journey led to his acclaimed solo career and the release of The Ridge (2020), a deeply personal acoustic album that earned two JUNO Award nominations, a Canadian Folk Music Award for Solo Artist, five Native American Music Award nominations, and a Polaris Music Prize nomination.
His 2022 follow-up album, Beyond the Reservoir, continued that remarkable momentum with nominations from the Country Music Association of Ontario, the JUNO Awards, and the Ontario Folk Music Awards, further cementing his place as one of Canada's most respected musical voices.
Critics and audiences alike have praised Julian's warm baritone, heartfelt songwriting, and authentic performances that leave a lasting impression:

"Julian Taylor's music is a beacon of hope in troubled times. His lyrics are thoughtful and inspiring, and his voice is both powerful and tender." — Canadian Beats

This isn't simply another concert - it's an afternoon of remarkable songs, captivating stories, and the rare opportunity to experience one of Canada's premier songwriters in an intimate listening-room setting.
Critical Acclaim


"A solid slice of roots-oriented folk and soul." — Exclaim Magazine


"Lyrically, brilliantly 'The Ridge' exudes innocence." — American Songwriter


"Taylor's conversational vocals set him in the living room of every listener." — PopMatters


"Taylor is a unique and important voice on the Canadian roots-and-folk scene." — The Globe and Mail


"Strong messages, poignant words & decisive statements." — Americana Highways


"Among Canada's most premier songwriters. Ultimately, Taylor remains unparalleled." — SPILL Magazine


"He has a remarkable gift for relaying tenderness, vulnerability, and heartfelt emotion." — Glide Magazine


"Julian Taylor's beautiful voice captivates. Simply brilliant." — Rootstime


Reserve your seats early - performances like this are best experienced up close, where every story and every song has room to resonate.

Fluffy Golden Retriever puppies, easy beginner yoga, and the Saturday reset you've been meaning to take in Hamilton. Mats provided.

Hamilton's favourite Saturday just got fluffier.
Welcome to Golden Retriever Puppy Yoga by Yoga Kawa in Hamilton/Stoney Creek. This is an outdoor session at Vinemont Estate, which means fresh air, golden puppies, and a yoga class that moves at the pace of whatever the puppies decide is happening next.
Golden Retrievers are exactly what you'd hope. Soft, enthusiastic, a little clumsy, and absolutely convinced that you came here specifically to see them. They are right.
Here's how the hour breaks down:

35 minutes of easy, beginner-friendly yoga
20 minutes of connection and cuddle time
5 minutes of sharing circle

Why people keep coming back
Puppy yoga in Hamilton does something a regular yoga class cannot. A puppy wanders over, flops against your leg, and your nervous system just... exhales. People book this class thinking it's a fun outing and leave realizing it was actually the reset they needed. The outdoor setting makes it even better.
A note on Golden Retriever puppies
Goldens are famously social, gentle, and eager to be wherever the people are. As puppies they have approximately zero chill, which means they will investigate your mat, your water bottle, your hair, and your downward dog with equal enthusiasm. They are also very soft. This is the main thing to know.
Families and kids
Kids ages 5 and up are welcome. Anyone under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian who also participates and helps the child move gently and handle the puppies with care.
Mats provided. No experience needed. Wear something you don't mind getting pawed, and come ready to take the Saturday back.

Join us at the planetarium for a show geared toward younger audiences (8-15 years old) and their family members. We’ll first take you on a tour of the night skies seen from Hamilton, and then focus on the many fascinating bodies within our Solar System. Along the way, we will visit all the planets, some of the most interesting moons, and even more if time permits!
Please note that children under 8 can sometimes be frightened when we zoom into planets. The planetarium is not like a TV screen - it's an immersive environment, and the perspective could be unsettling for younger kids who are not yet able to process the information. We obviously want to create a positive environment for kids' learning, and you know them best and what they can handle. If individuals are disruptive you may be asked to leave, and re-admission is not possible. All attendees, including infants in arms, require a ticket due to fire and safety capacity codes.
All ticket sales are final.  Please use our Directions page for information on parking and getting to the planetarium.

🍨 Artisan Italian Gelato Workshop – Hamilton, Ontario
Hands-On Gelato Making Class | 2 Hours | Small-Group Experience
Transport yourself to Italy without leaving Hamilton in this immersive Artisan Italian Gelato Workshop, a hands-on culinary experience dedicated to mastering the techniques behind authentic, old-world gelato. Hosted at Chocolate Tales, this small-group class invites you to learn the craft, science, and soul of true Italian gelato from scratch.

For thousands of years, the Sun has shaped human destiny. Its steady rhythm of seasons sustained civilizations, while sudden eclipses inspired awe, fear, and myth. Ancient cultures worshipped it as a god, knowing their survival depended on its light and warmth. Today, we understand the Sun as a powerful, dynamic star—one capable of unleashing immense bursts of energy in the form of solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These storms can ripple across space, disrupting satellites, communications, and power grids here on Earth. Yet despite centuries of scientific progress, the Sun still holds mysteries that challenge our understanding. In this show, we journey from ancient skies to modern space missions, exploring how the Sun's ever-changing "mood" has influenced humanity—and how close we truly are to predicting its next great outburst.
