MOONFRUITS + CRAIG CARDIFF Sat, Feb 11, 2023 @ 8:00PM The Rainbow Bistro, 76 Murray Street, Byward Market, Ottawa

The BeaverTails Ottawa Ice Dragon Boat Festival presents “Live @ The Rainbow”, the festival’s free indoor concert series taking place February 3-20 as part of Ottawa’s 45th Annual Winterlude.

The festival’s spectacular free indoor concert series will warm things up at Ottawa’s legendary live music hall, The Rainbow, with an eclectic array of performances from great Canadian acts.

MOONFRUITS—Ottawa-based partners Alex Millaire and Kaitlin Milroy—craft contemporary folk in French and English that addresses our collective humanity with heart, wit, and wonder. Their sophomore album, Salt (Oct. 2022), explores raising a child amidst deepening inequality and the climate crisis, telling stories of their families and the kinds of communities they hope to help build.

CRAIG CARDIFF Over the years, Cardiff has found himself writing songs that offer pithy little bits of hope for people to hold onto. A prolific songwriter, Craig has released 21 albums and EPs independently and has found a global online audience that has streamed his songs more than 100 million times. With a voice described as “warm, scratched, sad and sleepy,” Cardiff sings songs that expose the human condition, putting a magnifying glass to our clumsier and less proud moments. He can turn any setting into an intimate affair, infusing his music and lyrics with an uncompromising humanism.
