    I wish I knew how to play guitar. And by "play guitar," I mean play it well. I just don't make the time to do it. But Halifax Folklore has helped me out even when I wasn't looking for a stringed instrument. One time I needed a penny whistle but didn't want to spend twenty dollars for it which was the average price at a regular music store. I didn't have hope that Halifax Folklore Center actually had Penny Whistles but there they were! And for only ten dollars! The staff are very friendly and you can tell that this is more than a store. It is a way of life and a place for musicians to get together and connect. The store isn't the most attractive but I enjoy it because it sort of looks like a workshop for guitar makers. Their selection, especially for a store this size, is very impressive! They have almost every kind of guitar I'd like. Pretty soon, I know I will be buying an acoustic or electric and the Halifax Folklore Center will be the place I'll go to. Not just because they have good pricing. They make you feel like you are joining a supportive community that can help you on your musical journey.

    The Sonic Temple

    Words to the wise: The Sonic Temple is a dream venue for music lovers. While it typically exists as…read morea recording studio for artists, The Temple occasionally houses live performances within its walls. So. If ever you catch wind of a show happening at The Sonic Temple, be sure to grab up on tickets ASAP. Its an experience! The space is quite small, housing just under 70 people, so performances are intimate, engaged and high quality. The A-frame ceiling of this 1820s heritage home sets up an epic shelter with hanging candle holders and sky lights to boot. More candles scatter around the walls and ledges, highlighting gorgeous brick walls and its backdrop behind the 'stage'. (More of a large carpet then an actual stage.) Its part of the Sonic Entertainment building on Hollis street and not a venue that is open to the public on the regular. Thats why you've got to keep your ears open! The Temple is built by artists, for artists as a place of solitude to facilitate the recording process. Maritime artists like Joel Plaskett, Matt Mays, Symphony Nova Scotia have all recorded here. (to name a few!) Who knows when the next show will be... ('Post Data' just held a show there March 7 & 8th) but to have this place on your radar is certainly not a bad idea. And if you're a musician looking to master an album, The Sonic Temple is the cream of the crop. An incredible use of space to draw inspiration from both artist and audience...
