In association with Megaphono, Ottawa’s annual music industry festival and conference, the Sonicity Showcase will feature a preview of the Ottawa Music Strategy and the official launch of Sonicity, a mobile app that offers immersive original soundtracks, composed by local musicians, for six bus routes on the OC Transpo system.
Attendees will enjoy live performances by a selection of artists featured on the app, including Philippe Charbonneau, Boyhood, Nathanael Larochette, Ben Globerman and Adam Saikaley. Following the performances, the festivities will continue on a 30-minute Silent Disco Night Ride on an OC Transpo bus, set to an exclusive Sonicity mix.
The event is free and open to the public, and proudly hosted by the City of Ottawa, Artengine, and the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition.
