THE CANVAS

Robert Braid was a genius when he moved into his home and one day decided "Hey, I wanna throw shows and gigs at my house." Several months later, "The Canvas" has been somewhat of a regular staple as far as house concerts go. Indie goes, scenesters, and music fanatics make up the bulk of this mish/mash scene going on there and you know what, it's brilliant! Not only does he provide a venue for a younger demographic that might not get a chance to play in the bars (yet) but also makes way for new talent to come fourth with a platform to present themselves (alongside the already amazing talent we have here in Saskatoon that has played there.)

In several months it's gone from an idea to a pretty cool institution that has already had print media coverage, international acts, and in the end, just one sound complaint. I'm down with it and so should you!
