New space update: Hey folks! Thanks to everyone who is still holding out hope for us! We are currently looking at yet another possible space. Still a lot of things to confirm before this would be anything certain, but Option 684 could be The One! 🤞🤣 We are looking for commercial construction companies to give us quotes on potential building work. We are also looking for someone with experience of commercial construction projects, City of Kingston Bylaws and who would be prepared to oversea a team of voluteers. If this sounds like you or someone you know please send us a message ASAP✌️👽

So much gratitude to all the bands who donated their talents at Blu Martini last night, the audiences who noisily and enthusiastically supported, the bar staff who worked their butts off and to the HomeGrown Live team for creating the opportunity for such a unique gathering of creativity. We had a stellar night 🤩Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Taking today to decompress. Can’t wait to hear how much was raised for Joe’s Music Mill ✌️

Important stuff to know ✌️

Hey folks! So we have been on the hunt for a new space for rehearsals since October. Trying to stay somewhere between the West End and Downtown Kingston. One of the major stumbling blocks is Zoning. Now a property just came on our radar, and the Zoning actually mentions uses like ours, but it is on Innovation Drive in the East End. Apparently you can't make poll's on here anymore, but we would love to get some feedback. We think this would be too far out, but what do you folks think? Please comment and tag people, rather than sharing, so we see more feedback on this original post ✌️👽
