The man, the legend, the rebel? We’ll find out as one of the most prominent figures in Ottawa’s music scene - Eugene Haslam - joins us as we take on the topic of Rebel. 

For those involved in the music scene in town, Mr. Haslam is no stranger. In 1995, he resurrected Barrymore’s and hosted bands such as the Tragically Hip and Radiohead. In 1999 he gained full ownership of the institution Zaphod Beeblebrox and became a staple in the fabric of musical community. Zaphod’s is about to celebrate its 22nd rockin anniversary and we’re eager to hear Eugene’s story from banker, to local rock legend, to politician and much more. 

The Rebel theme is presented by Shutterstock, and was chosen by the Portland chapter. This event is being hosted in a very special place, and we’re excited to call the Enriched Bread Artists Studios - Ottawa’s largest artist studio co-op - home this Friday morning. Rumour has it breakfast is taking on a bit of a rebellious spin and we’re ditching coffee and pastries for some Gongfu Bao!

Tickets are available right here so get at em and don’t delay because seating is limited. For a great write up on Eugene, check this piece in the Ottawa Citizen from a couple years back.
