The Company House reimagines the old Khyber Club on Barrington as a north end acoustic music joint. It's one of the main locations for the In The Dead of Winter festival and a 2010 ECMA winner for Venue of the Year. With Propeller on tap and a healthy selection of imported beers, the food is appetizer-y, with nachos, paninis and Staff of Life samosas available, and tamarind chutney from a secret supplier.

Open Mic is now Tuesday nights at 8:30.
It's either hosted by Don Brownrigg or David Scholten (Acres and Acres). Practice up, tune your guitar, and try your stuff out on a warm & friendly crowd.
Re: “Amelia Curran”
Honestly, as someone who has both admired from afar, and shared the stage with Halifax/Newfoundland's best dark folk artist I was BOWLED over by her encore, sold out, Sunday PM show @ The Company House. So much emotion... all with a sardonic smirk.
Re: “Reid Jamieson”
"Achingly beautiful songs...A haunting quality not soon forgotten" - Globe & Mail
"After Reid appeared on the Vinyl Cafe we received tremendous feedback from our audience. He stole the show...He blew me away." Stuart McLean - CBC Vinyl Cafe
"Neither derivative nor nostalgic...The Unavoidable Truth, is a work of elegant, understated beauty... enveloping the listener in the atmospheric glow of his soulful vocals." - Paste Magazine (US)
'In a few short bars Reid stole the show...' - Now Magazine
'Irresistible...' - Eye Magazine
'More than just another promising upstart... rootsy, mellow and honey-sweet.' - TorontoLife.com
**** "Absolutely gorgeous" - Maverick (UK)
"Jamieson's songs are unabashedly crisp (take that, Bonnie Prince!), drenched in wistful piano/guitar melodies, and centered on his satin whisper."
- CNet.com
'Well-constructed pop treasures that rival Glenn Tilbrook's compositional prowess and the emotionally potent presentation of Jeff Buckley... gorgeous, unbridled voice beams thoughtful lyrics over a vintage country-inspired band.' - MilesOfMusic.com
'Lovers of classic quality should acquire without hesitation. - Comes With A Smile - UK
'Toronto boy kicks Josh Rouse’s ass crooning indie-soul-country classics all of his own making...your life will be better with this music in it.'- Americana UK
"The Unavoidable Truth showcases a talented and tender young artist with seemingly limitless potential and a total package that screams mainstream accessibility without losing credibility. Take that, John Mayer." - Glorious Noise Chicago IL
'An intelligent, eclectic-pop tunesmith with a rich voice in the tradition of Neil Finn or Glenn Tilbrook, but his short, sharp songs are more guileless, emotionally honest and vulnerable.' - Eye Magazine
'I can't wait to hear more from this talented artist, and predict big things to come' - Roots Music Report, Texas
'Look out for this cat. He's a break away from launch.' - Puremusic.com, Nashville
