Hope We Have Fun: Mt. Joy
‘Tis the season for festivals, fun, and folk music, and Mt. Joy’s fourth LP, Hope We Have Fun, boasts 13 tracks that sound as good in headphones as they do on a festival stage.
Shattered Glass
“Shattered Glass” comes from a place of experience and is about the times in life when everything seems to go wrong at once. The song is about romance and adventure and “that moment when it all falls apart.”
After Hours
“I think all of us as artists in general have more to share than just our tattoos,” says participating artist Renato Marino, who has been tattooing for 11 years. “When you go to a museum or you go to an art show, [people think] ‘Oh, these are artists,’ but then they look at us and they’re like, ‘These are degenerates who draw things,’” Marino laughs.
From Teacher to Ambassador
Todd Miller’s connection to Silver Islet runs deep; he is a fifth-generation resident descended from the original settlers, James and Helen Cross, who arrived in 1871. His upbringing was steeped in the rich history of the area, igniting a lifelong passion for shipwrecks and lighthouses. This fascination laid the foundation for his unintentional future as a historian, lecturing to guests aboard the Great Lakes cruises for Viking cruise ships.
AfroGourmets
From Senegal to Morocco and now all the way to Canada, AfroGourmets, a newly launched culinary experience provider, has recently set roots in Thunder Bay.

A6: Lights
Many of you may know Lights from her 2000s emo pop era; now, while we all may be ready to leave the extreme side bangs behind (if you know, you know), Lights’s new album A6 shows that she is ready to enter a new musical chapter.
Burning to the Sky: Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is forging a unique musical career in an age when it has never been more difficult to be relevant. Cyrus is also one of those generational artists who is improving with age. Her songwriting, singing, and soulfulness have bloomed in her late 20s and 30s. She may be as close to a Dolly Parton-level crossover star as we will ever see in the 2020s.
Off the Menu: Pocketchange
Those who’ve ventured up their VIP-esque corridor into the building will be familiar with Pocketchange’s metropolitan cocktail offerings, but what they may not know is what they’re cooking up in the kitchen is on par with everything coming from behind the bar. And while it’s fun to be in on a secret, we at The Walleye won’t be gatekeeping what is arguably the perfect patio season appetizer.
The Fragments that Remain
Mackenzie Angeconeb of Lac Seul First Nation has fulfilled her childhood dream of being a published author. The Fragments that Remain is Angeconeb’s first book, a young adult novel following the story of brother and sister Ally and Andy, with one sibling’s death leaving a life-altering impact on the other.

Ultimate Burger Battle
Thunder Bay’s beloved burger-eating fundraiser for the local United Way, Novemburger, will be getting a brand new name ahead of this year’s campaign. On May 30, Brulé, alongside the fundraiser’s chef de mission Erika Mikkola, unveiled that the fundraiser will now be known as the Ultimate Burger Battle.
Say Bonjour!
Say “hello”—or rather, say “bonjour”—to the new and improved Festival BONJOUR, formally known as Franco Festival. Since its inception almost 20 years ago, the event has evolved greatly, from a one-day gathering every two years to an annual three-day extravaganza. What could top that? This year, from June 5 to 7, Festival BONJOUR is inviting you to experience even more than ever, proving their name change represents more than meets the eye.
Art for the People
We experience, create, and appreciate art and making in our own ways. There’s no insider secret code to “getting” public art. Even if you think you don’t know anything about art, even if you’re in no mood to learn, it doesn’t lessen your experience.
At Peace: Propagandhi
It’s been seven years since Propagandhi’s last full length and things (gestures to genocidal conflicts, the environment, surveillance technology, billionaires, on and on) have continued on their downward spiral.
