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.

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.

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.

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.

It's the most colourful time of year. Pride season has arrived and when it comes to the TBay Drag crew, we’re going full force. Here’s a list of events where you can find some of your favourite queens, kings, and drag performers throughout June.

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and in an effort to spark conversations around living with these conditions, the Brain Injury Association of Thunder Bay and Area (BIATBA) is participating in an international art therapy campaign, Unmasking Brain Injury, which is on display in the Thunder Bay Art Gallery’s community room until June 20.  

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.

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.

The Thunder Bay Art Gallery will host the debut exhibition of local photographer and filmmaker Laura-Lynn Petrick, Hometown Anthems, running until June 8. The show will focus on highlighting Petrick’s experiences growing up in the rural outskirts of Thunder Bay, and provide a behind-the-scenes look at her family traditions and country life, blending her Finnish roots with the unique aspects of life in Northwestern Ontario.

A new short film has gained international attention after its premiere in New Zealand. My Friend Saabe, directed by Morningstar Derosier and Victoria Anderson-Gardner, was filmed in Migisi Sahgaigan (Eagle Lake First Nation), Derosier says, and screened in late March at the Māoriland Film Festival.

Add a splash of guitar, the essence of Circle Jerks, and a whole lot of angst, bring it to a roaring boil, and voila, there you have it: scalding punk anger—or in other words, RHOADS’s first official release, Idiopathic.

Closing out Magnus Theatre’s 2024–2025 season is Frances Koncan’s Women of the Fur Trade, a historical satire inspired by David Lynch, Hamilton, and the fur trade.

“It was a good opportunity to push my art practice in a new direction,” says textile artist Mary Jane MacDonald of her upcoming debut solo exhibition Slow Stitch: The Embroidered Landscape. “I wanted to experiment with embroidery and textiles and show other ways of doing it.”

Take a moment and imagine this: a horrifying world where the birds cease to sing, and artists refuse to create new works for lack of a muse. That’s the dimension where hot dogs were never invented. Thankfully for all of us, Station 22, located inside Dawson Trail Brewery, is making all of our dreams come true with their Chicago Hot Dog.

Sometimes, a good book allows us to escape the real world for just a minute. A musical does, too. But what happens when these two things collide? All the Daze’s latest musical Between the Lines will answer just that.
